According to new research, color influences the body’s internal clock known as the circadian rhythm, as blues and yellows reflect the external rising and setting of the sun.

Scientists in the United Kingdom decided to figure out if the color of the light made a difference as well, since it also changes over the day to indicate dawn and dusk.
