My response referred to the emotional qualities, not to smoothness. The list I read in your comment was:
This is approximately in line with what studies on human responses depending on colour stimulus have found.
End of my contribution to this conversation.
Sounds like it could just as well be cultural. "Red", in particular, could easily get associated with "heat" in various cultures because of fire, but that doesn't mean it's hard-wired to the brain.
You don't need to respond, but you seem to have misread the original comment. The David Gemmell quote compared red to silk. I said I didn't associate that list of emotional qualities with silk. I also said that I did not associate red with smoothness. Those were the associations being discussed.
