Too much orange can over-stimulate, so use it sparingly while making bold nuances.
Cold colors have a calming effect on the body (effect of space and relaxation). However, they can evoke the pessimism of an impending storm and should be used sparingly. They are not particularly welcoming and can leave people feeling cold.

Effects vary per person
You should always remember that psychological responses are deeply personal. You can like different colors depending on your own cultural and personal preferences, and that's fine. If your little one likes the color red, do not worry about its potential negative effect. The brain is designed to identify what it needs and likes. In other words, if your child is happy, his brain is happy too.
