This is an interesting article! I never thought that color could have such an affect on people. I have heard in the past that certain colors were said to help with attitudes and have even heard about using certain colors for walls and clothing when people are sick to help brighten their mood and push them to try and get better. I think that this could be very true, I myself think that brighter colors create a happier environment while darker colors can damper the mood. This information could be very helpful when deciding what colors to paint certain rooms in your house or company depending on what kind of environment and mood you want to set for yourself and others.
ReplyDeleteLoved this post! For me color has a huge impact on my life and I actually do pay attention to it. I have heard in the past that using a blue pen, or blue highlighter when studying for an exam will actually increase your effectiveness when taking the exam. I’m not exactly sure why, but maybe the color has a calming effect so you are not as nervous going into it. I just recently decorated my room with shades of greens and blues and have found that I am more relaxed when I am in my room.
