An attempt is made to elucidate colour choice in a primitive hill tribe in India. Many difficulties were met, including language, but some uniformity was found, and some associations were obtained to the most pleasing and least pleasing colours.
From these it is suggested that the oedipus complex determines the choice, the 'best preferred' colour being associated with the desired mother, and the 'least preferred' with the dangerous mother. A number of problems requiring investigation are raised.
