Fun Facts
The octopus is a brown animal, but when it becomes frightened it changes color to green or blue. In Feng Shui, aquamarine is interpreted as "heaven's laughter." The color blue causes the brain to secrete calming hormones which is why it is a good color for the ceiling of a dentist's office. |
