This is a good ref: Gilbert, C., & Bakan, P. (1973). Visual asymmetry in perception of faces. Neuropsychologia, 11, 355–362.

However the dustiest one is: Wolff, W. (1933). The experimental study of forms of expression. J. Pers. 2, 168–176. doi: 10.1111/j.1467-6494.1933.tb02092.x

Bivalve shells are often colored, either by optically active pigments in the crystal structure of the shell itself, or by the protein layer on top (periostracum) being colored. Yellow and brown are most common, with green and blue being much less so. (311)
