The concept is based on the Lüscher color test. Created by psychiatrist Dr. Max Lüscher, it’s is known to help determine levels of stress, anxiety, and ability to communicate. According to their published work, Lüscher believed that sensory perception of colour is objective and universally shared by all, but that colour preferences are subjective.
