Does it sometimes feel like your mood is affected by the room you are in? According to some psychological studies, the dominant colour of a room can impact your mood and emotions.
According to the website VeryWellMind.com the effect that different colours have on people is not always a one-shoe-fits-all concept, since colours have different meanings in different cultures and different parts of the world.
However, studies do suggest that some colours have universal meanings, and can make us feel or behave in interesting ways.
One study, for example, found that warm-coloured placebo pills were reported as more effective than cool-coloured placebo pills, while another study suggested that blue street lights can impact the amount of crime in an area.
If you are in the process of renovating your home, and you are shopping around for paint, it might be interesting to consider the psychological impact that some colours are believed to have.
Here is a summary of some popular paint colours:
Black
While black is often associated with mourning or darker feelings, feng shui suggests that black in your children’s room can bring calm and creativity.
White
For some people, a white room can seem cold or bland, but for others it might make them feel fresh and clean. White is also popular for evoking better concentration.
Red
Red is often described as a powerful and strong colour, and is often associated with love and warmth. From a paint perspective, red can be fun, and can be used to make bold statements.
Blue
According to some surveys, blue is the colour widely preferred by most men. Blue is often viewed as a non-threatening colour, and can create a sense of peacefulness, tranquillity and security.
Green
Green is considered a cool colour that symbolises nature. It is very popular among decorators due to its calming effect. Green is also regarded as natural and often compliments a room with more natural colour palettes, like browns.
