HOW COLOR INFLUENCE OUR MOODS!

Red
Studies  shows that Red color raises a room’s energy level. It is a good choice when you want to stir up excitement, particularly at night. In the living room or dining room, red draws people together and stimulates conversation. In an entryway, it creates a strong first impression. Red has been shown to raise blood pressure, speed respiration and heart rate. It is usually considered too stimulating for bedrooms, but if you’re only in the room after dark, you’ll be seeing it mostly by lamplight, when the color will appear muted, rich, and elegant. Red, the most intense, pumps the adrenaline like no other hue.


Yellow
Captures the joy of sunshine and communicates happiness. It is said to be perfect for kitchens, dining rooms, and bathrooms, where happy colors are energizing and uplifting. In halls, entries, and small spaces, yellow can feel expansive and welcoming. Even though yellow although is a cheery color, it is not a good choice to use in main color schemes when it comes to designing a room.

Studies show that people are more likely to lose their temper in a yellow interior. Babies also seem to cry more in a yellow room. In large amounts, this color tends to create feelings of frustration and anger in people. In chromotherapy, yellow is believed to stimulate the nerves and purify the body.



Blue
Studies shows that Blue color brings down blood pressure and slow respiration and heart rate. That is why it is considered calming, relaxing and serene, and it is often recommended for bedrooms and bathrooms.

Be careful, however: a pastel blue that looks pretty on the paint chip can come across as unpleasantly chilly when it is on the walls and furnishings, especially in a room that receives little natural light. If you opt for a light blue as the primary color in a room, balance it with warm hues for the furnishings and fabrics. To encourage relaxation in the social areas such as family rooms, living rooms and large kitchens consider warmer blues, such as periwinkle, or bright blues, such as cerulean or turquoise.

 Blue is known to have a calming effect when used as the main color of a room. Go for softer shades of blue. Dark blue has the opposite effect, evoking feelings of sadness. So refrain from using darker blues in your main color scheme. Stay with the lighter shades of blue to give you and your loved ones a calm effect.




Green
Green is considered the most restful color for the eye. Combining the refreshing quality of blue and the cheerfulness of yellow, green is suited for almost any room on the house. In the kitchen, green cools things down; in a family room or living room, it encourages unwinding but has enough warmth to promote comfort and togetherness. Green also has a calming effect when used as a main color for decorating. It is believed to relieve stress by helping people relax. Also believed to help with fertility, making it a great choice for the bedroom.


Purple
Purple is associated with luxury as well as creativity, and as an accent or secondary color, it gives a scheme depth. Lighter versions of purple, such as lavender and lilac, bring the same restful quality to bedrooms as blue does, but without the risk of feeling chilly.



Orange
It is considered as an energetic color. It evokes feelings of excitement and enthusiasm. Orange is said to be great for an exercise room. It will bring out all the emotions that you need released during your fitness routine. It is not a very good idea to paint orange in a living room or in bedrooms. In ancient cultures orange was believed to heal the lungs and increase energy levels.



Neutrals (black, gray, white, and brown)
Black, Grays, white and Browns are are basic to any decorator’s tool kit. All-neutral schemes fall in and out of fashion, but their virtue lies in their flexibility: Add color to liven things up; subtract it to calm things down. Black is best used in small doses as an accent. Indeed, some experts maintain that every room needs a touch of black to ground the color scheme and give it depth. 



Crimson
This color can make some people feel irritable, Invoking feels of rage and hostility. Sitting for a long periods of time in a room painted in this color will likely affect the peace and harmony you are striving to create in your home.



Note:
Light colors makes a room seem larger and brighter. Dark colors are sophisticated and warm; they make a room seem smaller and give large rooms a more intimate appearance.
