Your mood can be affected by paint colors. The sensation of a room is influenced by colors. Whether you are aware of it or not, certain colors evoke different emotions that can either improve, maintain or demote the way you feel.
It is important to choose the right paint colors for the right rooms. You won't want to paint the walls of your bedroom sunshine yellow or red if your bedroom is where you do most of your relaxing.
In everyday life, you can make use of the effect of color on your psyche in order to improve your job satisfaction and well-being. The following is a list of some colors and their matching moods which you should keep in mind when selecting paint colors:
Red
Red, the most intense, pumps the adrenaline like no other color. It empowers a room's energy. It is a good selection when you want to blend excitement, especially at night. In the living room or dining room, red represents people together and stimulates conversation. In a front entrance, it makes a strong first impression. Red has been revealed to raise blood pressure, speed respiration and heart rate. It is usually measured too stimulating for bedrooms, but if you're only in the room in the night, you'll be seeing it mostly by lamplight, when the color will appear muted, rich, and elegant.
Crimson
Ancient cultures used crimson to stimulate the body and mind and to increase circulation. It is able to make some people bad-tempered and should be avoided as the main color of a room since it invoking feels of rage and hostility. Sitting for long time in a crimson room will possibly breakdown any peace and harmony.
Orange
Orange was used to heal the lungs and increase energy levels in ancient cultures. It is an energetic, cheerful, commanding, and stimulates goodwill color. It evokes excitement and enthusiasm. It is not a good idea for a living room or for bedrooms but it is great for an exercise room. It will bring all the emotions out that you need when jumping into your fitness routine.
Yellow
In chromatherapy, yellow was believed to stimulate the nerves and purify the body. Yellow captures the cheerful, increases energy and communicates happiness. It is perfect for kitchens, dining rooms, and bathrooms, where happy color is energizing and uplifting. In entries, halls, and small spaces, yellow can feel expansive and warm. But it is not a good choice in main color schemes of a room. It tends to create feeling of frustration and anger in people and the most fatiguing on the eyes. People are more expected to lose their tempers and babies seem to cry more in a yellow room.
Green
Green is considered the most restful color for the eye. It has a soothing effect when used as a main color for decorating. It is believed to promotes emotional growth and relieve stress by helping people relax and refreshing. In addition, it believed to help with fertility, thus it is a great choice for the bedroom.
In a kitchen, a sage or medium green cools things down. In a family room or living room, it encourages unwinding but has enough warmth to promote comfort and togetherness.
Blue
Blue is cool, refreshing, soothing, relaxing, and promotes feelings of tranquility and peace. It brings down blood pressure and slows respiration and heart rate. It is often recommended for bedrooms and bathrooms. However, a pastel blue that looks pretty on the paint chip can come across as unpleasantly chilly when it's on the walls and furnishings, especially in a room that receives little natural light. If you choose for a light blue as the primary color in a room, balance it with warm hues in the furnishings and fabrics.
Purple
Lighter versions of purple, such as lavender and lilac, bring the same soothing and relaxing quality to bedrooms as blue does, but without the risk of feeling chilly. Dark purple is rich, dramatic, and sophisticated. It's associated with luxury as well as creativity, and as an accent or secondary color, it gives a scheme depth.
Color choice is an individual belonging. These general lists are a good preliminary reference point in your search for a paint color to improve your mood. But remember that you're the one who has to live with your new paint color, so decide a perfect color that suits your lifestyle.
