I always thought it should have been red & green pills, red being bad, green
be good, so you should take the green pill.

This is the (alleged) psychology behind bank slips, deposits (good for the
banks) are green, withdrawls (bad for the banks) are red.  And traffic
lights, of course.  It does ocassionally get pointed out 'red' should be
'yellow', being nature's warning color.  Wasps aren't red... but poison
berries sometimes are...

I recently worked in an office building where I was facinated to see that
the lift indicators (up & down arrows) were different colours.  I'd never
seen this before, but more interesting was the colours; up was green, and
down was red.

Presumably going to work (green arrow) was good, going home (red arrow) was
bad.

Is this common?
