The Unspeakable Dark Side of Status: Low Color-Value Signals Status, Unless You Mention It

Lower color-value (i.e., darker) products are perceived as providing more status than, and thus are preferred to, higher color-value (i.e., lighter) ones. These effects are attenuated for high-status individuals, and seem to be implicit; they disappear when participants are explicitly asked to consider color-value before status evaluations.
