Researchers from the University of Essex in the United Kingdom selected 14 male college students to ride indoor stationary bicycles for 5 minutes and watch documentaries about forests. Subsequently, the researchers changed the video background from green to black, white and red, and asked volunteers to ride for five minutes while watching these three-color videos.

The results show that they feel less tired when watching green videos and can stay happy. Watching videos with red background is more likely to be emotionally unstable.
