The Power Of Colours

Colours are all around us. We really can’t ignore them. Colours are the first thing we see in the morning: in the walls, on our phone, our toothbrush, our clothes, our door, etc. There are also a lot of colour idioms that we use, like: green with envy, make me see red, out of the blue, etc. What does it all mean? Are colours important or are them just something we can’t skip seeing in our daily routine?

The answer is YES! Colours are very important. They even affect our mood and personality. For example when someone is sick, it is better for them to stay in a green room. Below are some of the positive and negative sides of different colours.

RED is a very powerful colour. Red makes us more courageous, excited, helps waking our survival spirits, gives us warmth, strength and energy. On the other hand, it can make us aggressive and demanding. Red can also stimulate our appetite, so better avoid painting your kitchen red.

BLUE is the colour of the mind. It is the colour of intelligence, communications, logic and serenity, but on the other hand, blue shows coldness, unfriendliness and lack of emotion.

YELLOW is an optimistic colour. It helps lift our self-esteem and confidence. It can help you be more creative and friendly, but if you use it too much it can make you depressed and feel fear.

GREEN is the colour of balance, harmony, refreshment, universal love, peace and rest. On the other hand, this colour means boredom.

VIOLET or PUPLE is the colour of the spirit, luxury, quality and truth. Negatively, it is can mean decadence and inferiority. If used the wrong tone, it communicates something nasty and cheap.

ORANGE is the colour of physical comfort and food. It shows security, passion, sensuality and fun. Negatively, this colour means frustration and immaturity.

WHITE is the colour of purity, clarity and sophistication. On the other hand, this is the colour of the cold and unfriendliness.

BROWN is the colour of seriousness and reliability. Negatively, this colours mean lack of sophistication and lack of humor.

PINK is the colour of love, warmth and survival. But it can also mean emotional claustrophobia and physical weakness.

BLACK can make you feal secure and sophisticated. It is a colour that is never our of fashion. It is elegant, stylish, formal and timeless. But it can also be a little scary.

Colours have a great power, so we must know how to use them properly and in a way that they can help us. Going to a party? Dress orange to feel more sociable. Can’t settle down to work? Blue can help you concentrate. Feeling ill? There’s green.
