How to Use the Psychology of Colours
Believe it or not, there is an entire science behind the study of colour and how it affect us. These studies are designed to help us understand what colours mean, what colours to wear, and even what paint colours to use and decorate our homes.
Let’s begin with the psychology of these colours:
- Red – High energy, Intense, Love, and Aggression
- Pink – Calming, Romance, True Love, and Gentleness
- Blue – Trustworthiness, Calm, Dependable, and Loyal
- Yellow – Happiness, Fun, Positivity, and Youthfulness
- Green – Growth, Prosperity, Comfort, and Hope
- Black – Strength, Power, Formal, and Mysterious
- White – Creativity, Purity, and Cleanliness
- Grey – Quietness, Practicality, and Quietly Professional
- Purple – Nobility, Royalty, and Spirituality
- Orange – Success, Energy, Flamboyance, and Ambition
- Brown – The Earth, Stability, Reliable, and Friendship
Now that we have identified what colours traditionally mean, let’s consider how best to use them.
Blue – This is a good colour to wear if you have a meeting with your teachers or boss. Customers are more likely to trust salespeople when they wear blue. Blue is cool, calming and appropriate for study and sleeping areas.
More Psychology of colours
Green – This is also a great colour for a bedroom. It is peaceful and comforting. Given that green is made by combining blue with yellow and white, it is a fun and creative colour as well.
Black – Needless to say this is not a good bedroom colour. Light is an essential part of waking up so stick to wearing this colour, use as an accent or choose to go with grey instead.
Yellow – This is an awesome colour to paint a study or area where you need to focus. Yellow is also perfect to wear, if you’re in a happy mood and want to show it.
Pro-tip: Wearing the pastel version of a colour brings the same results as the bolder colour.
We have given you a good start with suggestions on how to use colours. Can you think of how to use the other colours? Share your ideas with us on Facebook or leave a comment below.
