Does Color Influence Preference

Using stamps instead of original sketches allows for pretty quick creation of the images for these minibooks.  I cut so many image pages (I was kinda on a roll,) that I had enough to use for two books, sooooooo.... the blue-tones cover is below, followed by.....

.....the blue book and the tropical-colors book posing side by side.  Both minibooks include the same images, but the foundation pages, ribbons, and Inktense inks used to enhance the images are thematic.

I considered running parallel images page by page, but quickly realized that these two books would seldom, if ever, be viewed side by side.  The benefit of running the parallel colors would be strictly for my benefit to do a series of 'compare and contrast' studies.....probably would have done that in some kind of academic or cognitive endeavor several years ago.....but doesn't sound like the fun activity I am currently looking for....

Based on the little glimpses of the side by side minibooks, you can think about your preferences.  Notice that the color they are displayed in front of influences the visual impact.....hmmmmmmmmm!
