Colour and Psyche

You have just moved into a new apartment and your partner offers to paint the room in bright red? Does the idea not convince you? It is well known that this is the colour of strong feeling and life force. It would therefore be ideal as a stimulant for nights of passion, but it is right to rest well, since it has an effect that induce sleep. To achieve this end, it’s better to choose a blue or yellow pastel.

 

colour-psychology

 

Each colour has certain reactions and emotions…in fact; each of the colours that the human eye can see is electromagnetic radiation emitted by a particular wavelength of light. These are perceived by photoreceptors in the retina and reach the brain as electrochemical impulses. It appears that colours can be perceived even by the blind. The vibrations of the electromagnetic radiation would be well received through the skin.

Colours influence our mood and our mind. But does it depend only on the objective characteristics of each colour? It seems not. The associations that certain colours trigger in us and connect them to certain concepts have been handed down through time long with the traditions and cultural values of the environment in which we grow up in. In Japan, for example the target does not have the same meaning as in the west, where the white colour symbolizes death. Often those who see the world from a certain viewpoint can also lead to their preferences for colours or colour combinations by their ideological beliefs.
