Our whole existence is covered with colors: the wonderful colors from nature, the colors of the objects in our home, the colors of our clothes, the colors of walls from the rooms, the colors of buildings, the colors of cars and different vehicles we are traveling by, the colors of books, magazines, papers, the colors from movie scenes and those seen on the TV, the colored lights from the feast fireworks, the colors of Christmas decorations and gifts, or the colors of flowers we offer to our beloved ones for their anniversaries.
All these represent as many moments we interfere with colors and get in contact with their effects. This is why it is useful to know which are the effects of each color over the human being.
Warm colors – cold colors
From the bright red of a ripe apple to the deep blue of the clear sky, a large number of nuances suggest the closeness and distance, the intensity, and relaxation.
Warm: Red
Utmost warm, red is stimulating, it stirs the flame of passion, makes us feel stronger and filled with force. When predominant in a room, it gives the feeling of condensation and stimulation and makes the room look smaller.
Cold: Blue
Sort of complementary to red, at the cold extreme, blue is profoundly relaxing and calming, it awakens the desire for introversion and enhances love inside of us. When blue is predominant in a room, it confers the feeling of spaciousness, through which we subjectively perceive the room as bigger.
Warm: Orange and yellow
Orange and yellow are also warm, but more temperate in their stimulating effect. Orange is by excellence an anti-depressive color and triggers the good spirits; as for yellow, it stimulates the rational thinking and it is an excellent mental stimulant.
Cold: Turquoise and violet
Along with blue, also cooling are turquoise and violet. Turquoise is soothing, purifying, and refreshing, while violet awakens hope, reactivates the sense of valour and makes us aware of the spiritual dimension of life.
