Why red color looks warm and purple color looks mystic?

On the other day, I got confused on why we feel in certain emotional ways on different colors; they simply differ on wavelength. I guess it is because the environment we lived in. Because fire are red, so when we see red, we recall fire, and thus feel warm.  Sunshine are somewhat yellowish, so when we see yellow, we recall sunsine. When we see blue, we recall sky, ocean, pretty cool color. When we see green, we recall plants, forest. And when we see purple, we recall noting. (violet is not a pervasive enough thing to be recalled I think.)  that might be why we feel mystic looking at purple, because that's something we do not see on a regular basis. So imagine if we have a blue sun, then probably we will feel warm when look at blue.
