I also wanted to alert readers that the first part of the research is now available at Impact (The Use of Colors and Color Imagery in Direct Response Marketing and eBranding). The full paper -- volume 1 of several to follow on this topic -- contains 22 pages, 1 chart, 23 images and 9 best practice usage suggestions.
Enjoy.
