The Psychological Effect of Colours (151)
AI_1984: Why is colour such a powerful force in our lives? What effects can it have on our bodies and minds?
While perceptions of colour are somewhat subjective, there are some colour effects that have universal meaning.
Shades of red in the colour spectrum are known as warm colours and include red, orange, and yellow. These warm colours evoke emotions ranging from feelings of warmth and comfort to feelings of anger and hostility.
Colours on the blue side of the spectrum are known as cool colours and include blue, purple, and green. These colours are often described as calm, peaceful and healing, but can also be feelings of sadness or indifference.
How do people respond to different colours?
Do colours affect your moods and vice versa?
Here in Spain, where the weather is sunny and hot most the year, people mostly wear dark colours (black, brown).
The tourists stand out because of the bright colours they wear.
In Africa, where it´s also hot, traditional dress is brightly coloured.
What colours do you wear in the winter?...in the summer?....
What colours are your walls in your house?.... bed linen? Etc..
When out in nature, can you blend in like a chameleon to fit your surroundings?
Please, feel free to discuss.....

People with synesthesia related to music may also have perfect pitch because their ability to see/hear colours aids them in identifying notes or keys. The colours triggered by certain sounds, and any other synesthetic visual experiences, are referred to as photisms.
I see colours around a person, sometimes called an aura, do you see this AI???

I think colour affects all people whether they realize it or not. Different colors evoke different feelings.... if I want to feel confident, I wear red. Darker colors for me usually signify sadness, depressed state, etc. Yellows are sunshiny and warm - my kitchen is yellow. My bedroom is a light brown with cream trims... relaxing for me.
I can remember when mom would paint every wall in the house white....ugh!!

You're welcome to visit my little paradise if you wish?
I was thinking of going for a boat trip this week to see the dolphins and, hopefully, the pilot whales.
Yes, I've heard about synesthesia.
Sometimes I see a whole range of colours when playing the piano, but not single notes.
As for auras, yes I do too, especially around animals and plants.
With people, I do sometimes, but I feel the energy, rather than seeing it.

Hello Tara..I can remember when mom would paint every wall in the house white....ugh!!
Yes, as you say, colours do affect most people whether they're aware of it or not.
When I first came here, the first thing that struck me was to see people wearing black at weddings!!
I thought it was a funeral!
When I lived in Germany, I often wore white trousers, or red and turquoise in the winter months.
The winter being so depressive colourful clothes cheered me up.
Here, I have a pale bright green in my living room and pale lilac in the bedrooms.

I did hear of a condition where people see colours when kissing, I'll look out the article, it must be strange seeing an explosion of colour when kissing someone you love, I get the feelings but not the colours yet, I need someone to practice with
just joking ..... in scarlet

Wore a lot of red in my communist days as a teenager. Pink in the years as a womaniser. And purple when I hit 30, there's a touch of boring blue in there now a conservative element a sense of sort your life out.

Oh sure! Institutions have used color therapies for hundreds of years. “Cat houses” ( the polite term) decorated in brilliant reds and gold/ brass because, well, sensuous, arousing colors. Interesting thread..While perceptions of colour are somewhat subjective, there are some colour effects that have universal meaning.
