Psychology of colors
♦ What’s your favorite color? ♦
Let’s see how colors affect on your life.
How do they define your personality?
Black
• Black is the color of authority and power, stability and
strength. It is also the color associated with intelligence.
Black clothes make people appear thinner. It's a somber
color sometimes associated with evil (the cowboy in the
black hat was almost always the "bad guy"). In the western
hemisphere black is associated with grieving. Black is a
serious color that evokes strong emotions; it is easy to
overwhelm people with too much black.
Red
• If you want to draw attention, use red. It is often where the eye looks first.
Red is the color of energy. It's associated with movement and excitement.
People surrounded by red find their heart beating a little faster and often
report feeling a bit out of breath. It's the absolute wrong color for a baby's
room but perfect to get people excited. Wearing red clothes will make you
appear a bit heavier and certainly more noticeable (some studies show red
cars get more tickets but that may be because the red car owners drive faster
or the ticket giver notices the movement of the red car more prominently).
• Red is not a good color to over use but using a spot of red in just the right
place is smart in some cases (one red accent in an otherwise neutral room
draws the eye; a red tie with a navy blue suit and a white shirt adds just the
right amount of energy to draw the eye.
• Red is the symbol of life (red blooded life!) and, for this
reason, it's the color worn by brides in China. Red is used at
holidays that are about love and giving (red roses,
Valentines hearts, Christmas, etc.) but the true color of love
is pink. Pink is the most calming of all colors -- often our
most dangerous criminals are housed in pink cells as studies
show that the color drains energy and calms aggression.
Blue
• Ask people their favorite color and a clear majority will say blue.
Much of the world is blue (skies, seas). Seeing the color blue actually
causes the body to produce chemicals that are calming; but that isn't
true of all shades of blue. Some shades (or too much blue) can send a
cold and uncaring message. Many bedrooms are blue because it's
calm, restful color. Over the ages blue has become associated with
steadfastness, dependability, wisdom and loyalty (note how many
uniforms are blue). People tend to be more productive in a blue
room because they are calm and focused on the task at hand. Some
studies are showing that weight lifters can lift more weight in a blue
gym - in fact, nearly all sports are enhanced in blue surroundings.
Men's favorite color
Women’s favorite color
Yellow
• Cheerful yellow is the color of the sun, associated with laughter,
happiness and good times. A person surrounded by yellow feels
optimistic because the brain actually releases more seratonin (the feel
good chemical in the brain) when around this color. It is the color
associated with optimism but be careful with yellow; when intense, it is
the color of flames and studies show babies cry more in (bright) yellow
rooms and tempers flare more around that color too. It has the power
to speed up our metabolism and bring out some creative thoughts
(legal tablets are yellow for good reason!). Yellow can be quickly
overpowering if over-used, but used sparingly in the just the right place
it can be an effective tool in marketing to greater sales.
Green
• The color of growth, nature, and money. A calming
color also that's very pleasing to the senses. Dark
forest green is associated with terms like
conservative, masculine and wealth. Hospitals use
light green rooms because they are found to be
calming to patients. It is also the color associated
with envy, good luck, generosity and fertility. It is
the traditional color of peace, harmony, comfortable
nurturing, support and well paced energy.
Violet (
purple )
• What color were the robes of kings and queens? Yes, they
were purple, our most royal color that is associated with
wealth, prosperity, rich sophistication. This color stimulates
the brain activity used in problem solving. However, when
overused in a common setting it is associated with putting
on airs and being artificial. Use purple most carefully to
lend an air of mystery, wisdom, and respect. Young
adolescent girls are most likely to select nearly all shades of
purple as their favorite color.
Orange
• The most flamboyant color on the planet! It's the
color tied most this fun times, happy and energetic
days, warmth and organic products. It is also
associated with ambition. There is nothing even
remotely calm associated with this color. Orange is
associated with a new dawn in attitude.
Thanks for your attention
