Anyone found a psychological explanation? Not a linguistic thing as I went through it in Finnish in my mind, and the selection of the tool and color wasn't verbal at all. Could be the pounding music and my red name, but still that'd be too much of a coincidence.
Probably the tool and color people are most familiar with somehow.
