The colors that make you want to click

This is kind of weird, but maybe someone will know...

I heard that the colors yellow and red make you hungry, or are the colors that have to do with hunger... (Which is possibly why McDonald's is so successful)

So I was wondering maybe if someone knew the colors that make you want to click (on an ad in this case) and possibly also the colors that make you want to buy... lol, I'll try anything now...

If we knew this, I suppose it could be useful information for those with Google Adsense too...

The color's to make your ad's...

Thanks for the Pantone resource, AAnnAArchy. I've worked with Pantone colors for years when I designed print pieces, but I had no idea that they would have an informative website.

CAUTION - this site is not for the faint of bandwidth. Every page I visited clocked in at over 600kb in total download. Sheesh! They really know color, but they don't really know the web, yet.

Doesn't it vary in different cultures/countries?
