Color is amazing for many reasons. For one, color creates mood. Color therapy is used by many acupuncturists and in other alternative therapies. There is science to back up the therapies. And that is available for anyone to use.
The slower vibrations of cool colors support a serene atmosphere. So purple, green and blue can be used for creating a calm, healing mood. Green represents health and growth. Purple is seen as a royal color that corresponds with the higher chakra that corresponds with intuition, the third eye. Blue is known for representing rejuvenation and refreshing experiences.
The faster vibrations of warm colors are invigorating. They bring energy to a room. Red, yellow and orange are more stimulating, even for the appetite, as McDonald's and Burger King decorators knew well when designing their interiors.
Orange is very earthy, especially when paired with brown. Red stimulates passion and is used to create a romantic mood. Yellow is paired with intellectual stimulation.
Colors that are opposite each other on the color wheel create drama. Drama is added with pairings of orange and blue, or purple with yellow, or green with red.
Colors can be added to a room with something as simple as glasses of colored water or with accent pillows or blankets. Art work can be chosen to evoke a certain mood. Candles can be added for color as well as scent.
Part of the fun of color is when you intentionally use it to a set a mood.
Fun!!
