How does color influence mood?

As I almost finish up painting Luke's room with the color Sugar Plum - I wonder how it will effect the development his personality. Sugar Plum is a combination of Carolina Blue & Lilac. It looks awesome so far. The color really changes as the sun travels its path throughout the day. How does color really effect one's mood?
