Colour

How important is colour in our lives? According to various studies colour has a major influence on how we feel emotionally and even on our day-to-day performance. So it is important to know a few basics about the psychology of colour.

For instance, the colour you paint your living room could have an effect on how often you lose your temper in it! (What colour is your living room?) The colour of food packaging is vitally important too. It is carefully considered before marketing the product because certain colours can stimulate appetite. You may have noticed that fast-food restaurants (think of McDonald's) use very vivid colours of yellow, orange and red in their décor and logo. This colour selection is not just because of the association with ketchup and mustard but because some studies say that the red colour increases hunger.

But let's get back to our living rooms. So, which colour should we avoid there? Well, surprising as it may seem, yellow is not a good choice for the domestic environment. Usually yellow is associated with sunlight and is traditionally a happy, optimistic colour. It can also help you to think clearly. However, according to recent studies, people become irritable and even angry more often in rooms which are yellow than in rooms of other colours. It can also be upsetting for babies, who will cry more often in rooms with yellow colour schemes.

Orange is less risky. It can make you feel better by reducing depression. Red, however, traditionally associated with anger, can make us feel irritated if we see to too much of it. Meeting rooms with red colours may cause more disagreement than agreement!

Blue could be a good choice for the walls of your living room if you want a peaceful colour. People perform better in rooms with blue colour so it is a good colour for offices. In an office environment, the right shade of blue can help staff to stay calm in a crisis: seeing the blue colour actually makes the body produce chemicals that are calming.

The colour blue is considered to be an unappetizing colour. To that point, researchers say that blue controls the appetite because it is rarely found in nature (meats, vegetables). So we don't have an automatic appetite response to it. Some weight loss experts even recommend that their clients use blue plates and kitchen utensils.

Perhaps the easiest colour for interior walls is white. It is neutral, it doesn't clash with anything, it is a good background colour, and it is always in fashion!
