Color has an amazing ability to influence our minds and bodies. Different hues can excite, soothe, agitate, or inspire. So, if you’re planning to give a room – or your entire home – a little facelift, consider the moods and emotions that various colors can elicit before making your final selections.
1. Red – Red can excite and energize, increase breathing and heart rate. As such, it may not be the best color for a bedroom, especially for someone who already has a tough time relaxing and falling asleep. If you must have red in your bedroom, use it as a decorative accent.
2. Orange – A largely under-utilized paint option, orange is said to encourage communication, independence, confidence, and extroversion. This warm color can be a great choice for a family room or child’s play room.
3. Yellow – This sunny color is associated with feelings of happiness and joy. A softer hue can aid concentration while a brighter yellow can increase motivation and memory. However, too much bright yellow can create feelings of agitation.
4. Green – The color green has a calming, soothing impact and can reduce feelings of anxiety, making it an ideal choice for just about any room.
5. Blue – Blue is considered beneficial to the mind and body. It slows human metabolism and produces a calming effect. Blue is strongly associated with tranquility and calmness. It’s a great choice for the rooms you occupy most often.
6. Purple – A color often associated with royalty – symbolizes power, nobility, luxury, and ambition. Purple is associated with wisdom, dignity, independence, creativity, mystery, and magic. According to surveys, almost 75 percent of pre-adolescent children prefer purple to all other colors.
7. Pink – Pink has a calming effect that can work quite well in just about any space. Try pairing pink accessories, artwork, or accent furniture with a neutral background for a warm, inviting look.
