为什么电影院的座椅是红色的？
        当我们有时间想放松一下，就会带着家人来到电影院看一场电影。你是否发现一个问题，电影院的座椅大都是红色的，按理说为了观影效果好，不应该用这么鲜艳的颜色会分散人的注意力。那么电影院的座椅为什么要弄成红色的呢？
        其实弄成红色恰恰是为了观影效果。光线亮的时候，人的眼睛对黄色最敏感，所以黄灯、校车、交通警示牌都用黄色的。光线暗的时候，人的眼睛对绿色最敏感，反而对刺眼的红色不那么敏感。不同颜色与我们眼睛的灵敏度有很大的关系。随着光线变暗，相对其他颜色红色会显得更暗，它是第一个消失在我们视线之中的颜色。
        所以当电影院的影片开场前，所有的灯光关闭后，我们瞬间就看不到红色座椅了，这样就可以更专注地看电影。
