California Business Minute™

Hi, I am Tim Johnson and welcome to the California Business Minute.

In a new study released by the University of British Columbia, a specific color can
improve one’s performance.

The study illustrated that the color blue can make people more creative.  The university
study, through testing of 600 people found that they performed better on items such as
invention and imagination.

The study found that the color blue places people in a happy mood making them more
creative and less analytic.

Given that the state adopted the colors of blue and yellow in 1951, whereby blue represents
the blue sky and gold, the color of precious metal found in the state

Someone should sneak into the Capitol and paint the state assembly and senate chambers
in blue, hopefully spurring the creativity to pass a state budget.

I am Tim Johnson and this has been the California Business Minute.
