What does it mean about me if I looked at the image and the article headline and thought "scientific replication crisis"?
I'd honestly be shocked if this was repeatable. A brief search didn't turn up any attempts.

For all of the p-hacking and file drawer effects that modern research (noting this is an older piece) tries to avoid, the incentives for popular scientific media including blog posts all run in the other direction. Even if limited to just good, replicable studies in journals, anything we hear about via popularization is likely to be attached to a stronger-than-real effect size.
It makes sense to me that there would be differences in how people with various cultural backgrounds interpret art, since we largely know that the way people experience and think about color is different, though
