It is true that culture can modify biological perceptional 
responses, but colours, light intensity and patterns evoke 
emotional responses at a rather low level. On top of that you 
have the semiotics (the cultural customs or idioms if you will).

People like sunsets for a reason, it's time to stop up and change 
your activity, then return to your safe village as you don't get 
to see the predators after dark. It makes sense to feel at peace 
with blue, it is evening, save energy and find sleep (Microsoft 
used blue for software crashes...). It makes sense to enjoy green 
surroundings, you are more likely to find food there.
