What is Color Psychology?
Color Psychology is a theory of how each color affects a person’s mood, cognitive functions, creativity, and productivity. When a person is surrounded by calming hues such as blue or green, they feel relaxed. Whereas, if a person is surrounded by loud vibrant tones such as red, maroon, or orange, they feel energetic and passionate. Similarly, neutral colors such as white or gray make them feel serene.
Color Psychology is based on the scientific effect of different hues of each color of the spectrum, on the human brain. Although the effects of the colors may seem similar, studies show that each individual responds differently to standard color schemes.
How Does Color Psychology Affect Interior Design?
Color schemes are an important factor in Interior design. The color of the walls, furniture, natural elements, decorative pieces, lights, and fixtures all play an important role in the psyche of the inhabitant.
Role of Different Colors
Most ostentatious colors add tones of energy and make the environment lively. They also contribute to flair and gravity depending on the density of the color that you use. Other colors are more subdued and have a calming effect on the senses. They create a relaxing environment that makes the inhabitant feel safe and comforted.
