…excessive use can cause eye irritation and can speed metabolism
…in moderate amounts can…
…produce sensations of brightness and warmth…represent playfulness, light, creativity, easygoing attitude
…attention getter, but like sunlight… you want it to be there, but you don’t want it in your eyes.
…most visible of all colors – attention getter
Yellow
..is a universal symbol of nature and money…symbolizes life, youth, renewal, hope…is the easiest color on the eyes
…calming effect on nervous system

Dark Green -- cool, masculine, conservative, and implies wealth. Emerald Green -- immortality.
Olive Green -- the color of peace.

The red center looks different in relation to it’s background
Sgt. Steve Garst L.C.C./C.C.P.S Little Elm Police Dept.

…but be careful
You may get them moving faster than you
want!Sgt. Steve Garst L.C.C./C.C.P.S Little Elm Police Dept.
In the cafeteria, you want them sitting down eating, so…
…create serenity.
Sgt. Steve Garst L.C.C./C.C.P.S Little Elm Police Dept.
Don’t create motion, especially swift motion like...
Sgt. Steve Garst L.C.C./C.C.P.S Little Elm Police Dept.
Animals and motion…do you want them moving?
Sgt. Steve Garst L.C.C./C.C.P.S Little Elm Police Dept.
…but not moving too fast…
Sgt. Steve Garst L.C.C./C.C.P.S Little Elm Police Dept.
Or…do you want them passive, sitting…grazing?
Sgt. Steve Garst L.C.C./C.C.P.S Little Elm Police Dept.
Be aware of the intent and the picture being used. Some
differences are very subtle.
