Artists have known the power of color as a tool for influencing human behavior for centuries. The color psychologist Faber Birren experimented with a variety of colors to find out what kind of behaviors people exhibit when a particular color is present. Although it should be no surprise to anyone, a study done at the University of Rochester shows that the color red increases sexual attractiveness.

Reuters and MSNBC reported on this report with an article titled:
The woman in red really drives men crazy
Color increases attractiveness; reaction may be biological, study suggests

Maybe Governor Palin's choice of a red dress for her press photo was completely accidental or maybe she using sexuality as a political tool. What do you think? Poll below the fold.

Yes, but we give her too much credit because she isn't that aware of human behavior

No, because a married evangelical Christian mother of five wouldn't go there

Yes, but she's not aware of it because her handlers make all these decisions
