ROY G. BIV

ROY G. BIV

Colors don’t just look good in a store, they actually do something to our bodies.

When our eyes see a color, the signal travels to our brain, and that can change how we feel, even how fast our heart beats.

Red makes your heart beat faster. That’s why stores use it for clearance tags and sales—it screams buy me now!

Yellow is like sunshine. It makes your brain feel happy and alert. That’s why you’ll see yellow on bananas, mustard, or bright sale signs.

Green is calming. It reminds us of nature and health. That’s why it shows up in produce, organics, and anything eco-friendly.

Blue slows us down. It feels safe and trustworthy. That’s why so many water bottles, toothpaste boxes, and even banks use blue.

Orange is energizing. It makes us feel playful and even a little hungry. Think of pumpkins, Reese’s, or Cheetos!

Purple is rare in nature, so our brains connect it with luxury or special treats—like grapes, lavender products, or fancy candy wrappers.

And then there’s black and white. Black feels powerful and sleek—think electronics or high-end handbags. White feels clean and simple—like milk, sugar, or Apple iPhones.All The Clopen Links: https://linktr.ee/theclopeneffect

Meredith Poczkalski

Hey there! I’m Meredith - podcast host, storyteller, and professional over-thinker.
If you love retail chaos, workplace absurdities, and stories that make you laugh at the ridiculousness of it all, The Clopen Effect is for you. It’s the podcast that proves working in retail is basically a social experiment, and we’re all just trying to figure it out, one day at time.
And then there’s Anxiety Makes Me Poop - the podcast where we say the quiet part out loud. Life is messy, anxiety is real, and sometimes the best way to heal is through laughter, real talk, and knowing you’re not alone.
Between the two, we cover everything from Captain Obvious workplace moments to why your brain decides to spiral at 2 AM - all with a mix of humor, honesty, and the occasional TMI moment (because let’s be honest, we’ve all been there).
My goal is simple: to make you laugh, think, and feel a little lighter. So whether you’re tuning in for retail rants or deep talks wrapped in humor, welcome, I’m glad you’re here. Let’s get into it. 🎙️✨
