Adding a little color to your life is a simple way to boost your mood. From clothing to jewelery to your home or work environment—incorporating color is easy and fun. Below we take a look at some of the most common colors and the effects they can have on your mood.
• Red is an engaging and emotional color. It is considered an exciting color and can trigger the pituitary and adrenal glands, helping to release adrenaline. Red is also thought to stimulate your appetite and sense of smell.
• Yellow is the first color a person distinguishes in the brain. Yellow is thought to stimulate an overall sense of optimism, hope, and balance. Yellow is great for learning and work environments.
• Orange is thought to spark energy and creativity. It’s a great color for those seeking inspiration.
• Blue is a tranquilizing color. It appears to have a calming effect and can increase feelings of well-being. When you see blue, your brain releases eleven neurotransmitters that relax the body, and may result in a reduction of temperature, perspiration, and appetite.
• Green is another calming color. Like blue, it can help people feel relaxed and peaceful.
• Brown promotes a sense of security, relaxation, and reduces fatigue.
Remember, adding color to your everyday life is quick and fun. So, keep the above color guidelines in mind the next time you need to unwind or are seeking some creativity and inspiration.
“Colors are the smiles of nature.”
