Everyone loves color. But what most people don’t think about is how it effects out mood and how we are feeling. Many businesses are taking this into consideration these days and are very carefully planning which colors and which combinations to use in order to achieve certain feelings. This is very important to remember when you are picking out paint for your walls or even small things like the color scheme of your pc or phone. Keep in mind whatever you are looking at on a constant basis in your everyday life are influencing how you feel and how you perceive situations. Everyone reacts differently to color. There is no definite science to colors and how they will affect you, so you should experiment with colors and see how they affect you.

One good example is the color red. For some this brings out anger or frustration while in others is brings out passion. The shades of the colors also play a large role in how you react to them. I had a personal experience with this and the color red. I occasionally went to this little dinner around the corner from my house. Every time after a few minutes maybe 15 or 20 I would start feeling jittery and agitated…for no reason. Then it dawned on me, I was reacting to the colors. The whole diner was completely covered in bright fire engine red; I mean everything from the tables to the booths. Everyone can react differently but this was a good lesson for me, never paint anything in my house fire engine red. Here is a simple list of basic colors and how they will generally affect you and what they will bring out in you.
