AVON - In Living Color [misc., I sometimes have this running while students are coming in the room, then point out AVON as a database]
"Why do we associate certain colors with certain things? And do we really see every color of the rainbow or is our world just a 'pigment' of our imagination?.... This is a show about your brain and colors. We're gonna mess with your mind as we put you through a series of games and experiments that will change everything you thought you knew about color." [The video starts at about 2:00mins, so be patient when you begin to watch the video.]
