COLOURS AND US

Colours define us and our world. Everything we see, we make, we create has a colour. Colours are much more than just a property, they tell us much more than what is presented. Colours exist in mind. Different colours represent different symbolic qualities.

Black is the colour of authority and power. It is stylish and timeless. Wearing black means desire for power and makes the wearer seem aloof or evil. White symbolizes innocence and purity. It is serene and has a calming effect. Red is also the colour of love and symbolizes emotional stimulation. Pink is tranquilizing and gives a therapeutic effect by helping you reduce aggression. The colour of the sky and the ocean, blue is one of the most popular colours. It causes the opposite reaction as red. Peaceful, tranquil blue causes the body to produce calming chemicals, so it is often used in bedrooms. Blue can also be cold and depressing. People are more productive in blue rooms. Green symbolizes nature and refreshing for the soul. People waiting to appear on TV sit in "green rooms" to relax. Hospitals often use green because it relaxes patients. Cheerful sunny yellow is an attention getter. While it is considered an optimistic colour, people lose their tempers more often in yellow rooms. It also speeds metabolism. The colour of royalty, purple connotes luxury, wealth, and sophistication. It is also feminine and romantic. However, because it is rare in nature, purple can appear artificial. Solid, reliable brown is the colour of earth and is abundant in nature. Light brown implies genuineness while dark brown is similar to wood or leather. Brown can also be sad and wistful.

The colour you pick tells about your personality, you mood, your feelings and even your aspirations. Colours affect our actions and our motivations. Don’t just pick colours for the sake of it because it is not just the colour you choose, its about who you are and what you think!
