Advise before I regret

I read about a psychoacoustic experiment where they painted speakers pairs black or white and had a study group listen to both pairs. The majority of listeners found the white pair brighter and more open, the black pair more dynamic even though the speakers were identical to each other. That's one of the reasons I listen to music in the dark~I'm not going to let my speakers fool me.

I was going from memory (at my age, not a good thing). The article was from an interesting interview with Damon Von Schweikert, son of Albert, in the September 2020 issue of Stereophile magazine. And, of course, I got it wrong.
"For one of the experiments he (Albert) did under Heyser, they designed a two-way speaker. They painted one black and one white-same design. Students did a listening test and filled out a questionnaire: How did this make you feel? What did you think about the musicality? What did you say about the resolution? And by and large, people thought the white speaker was very open and airy and fun. And the black speaker was more dramatic."
This was an exercise in understanding how the human ear-brain mechanism works and how it relates to perception.
