Psycology Of Colours
Each colour has energy
Each rainbow colour vibration has its own powerful energy and quality, hence we can use certain colours to improve our general state of health or alleviate specific problems we may have. We will now look at each rainbow colour in turn as well as some variations which we often find in interior decoration.
There is no such thing as a good or bad colour. Each colour, like everything on earth, is made up of a duality of good and bad. On the one hand a colour can have beneficial and positive qualities and on the other can have a detrimental effect on us. It usually works that too much of any colour will tip the scale.
Main Colours are: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, turquoise, violet, pink, black, grey and white
Red
Red is the most physical of all colours, and it has the slowest vibratory rate and the longest wavelength.
Red has a stimulating action on our heart. It raises the pulse and our blood pressure and this is why red has a warming effect on us. Red, works best in places which require warmth and physical action. A cold room, a passage or corridor, kitchen or playroom would all be suitable places for red. Red in decoration is a colour which is either in fashion or not. Its strength of character makes it difficult to live with, so most people find it too oppressive and heavy to live with. There are however many different varieties of red. Burgundy, wine, terracotta are all colours which we often find in homes.
Summary: Red - Stimulating, activating, for energy, motivation, physical, love
Orange
Orange is made up of red and yellow. On the one hand it has the physical stimulation of red and on the other the mental stimulation of yellow. Orange is a very creative colour. It is also an anti-depressant and stimulates conversation. Most people do not like orange in their environment, although it may be just the colour they need. If this is the case, the customer should find a tone of orange which is acceptable. Rust, terracotta, amber, peach or apricot all have an orange glow and will reflect the positive and lively qualities of this colour.
Orange has a strong and beneficial effect on the digestive system,so makes a good colour for a dining room or restaurant. Candles glowing in an orange or yellow room makes one feel warm, secure and cosy.
Summary: Orange - Activity, practical, stimulates appetite, joyful, sociable, creative
Yellow
Yellow is the colour which is the closest to sunshine, and is always regarded as a sunny happy colour. Yellow wavelengths stimulate the brain, making one alert, clear-headed and decisive. For this reason, yellow is good to have around when you need to study, improve your memory or for people who need to expand their ideas and view of life.
Studies in hospitals have shown that patients in a bright yellow room required more pain-killers than those in other colour environments. Stay away from strong yellow and stick to golden-yellows, clear primrose yellows, buttery creams and be careful that the yellow does not become tinged with green or turn muddy. Sickly yellows and greens are associated with emotions such as jealousy, envy, and greed.
On its own, yellow is a colour that gives us no anchorage, protection, aim or focus. Several accounts show that yellow decoration combined with yellow light is not a good environment for humans. Violet is the complementary colour to yellow. So introduce some violet into an intensely yellow room to stabilise its affect on us.
Summary: Yellow - Mentally stimulating, aids memory, lively, aids communication, stimulates nervous system
