"The effect of color on human health. Color therapy

Effect of color on human physiology

Red . The wavelength is the largest, so its influence is maximum. The exciting, warming, active and energetic color penetrates and activates all the functions of the body. Stimulates nervous centers, charges muscle energy and liver. Used to treat chickenpox, some skin diseases. For a short time, the muscle tension increases (doping), increases the pressure and speeds up the respiratory rhythm. It can be fueled by the energy of red during meditation, colds, pneumonia, asthma, etc. Contraindicated to full people, poorly affects hypertensive, nervous people, red-haired. Not recommended for inflammatory processes, because It activates them even more.

It is a zodiacal for Aries, Lviv, scales, scorpions, Sagittarov.

Orange . Toning color. It acts in the same direction as red, but to a lesser extent, improves digestion, contributes to rejuvenation, liberty, strengthens the will, frees from the feeling of depression. Strengthens the pulmonary tissue, has an antispasmodic property, improves blood circulation and skin color, but an excess of orange may cause an overheating of the body (that is, it is more thermal than red).

It is zodiacal for Aries, Lviv, twins, virgins and scales.

Yellow . Toning color. Physiologically optimal. The least tiring, stimulates vision and nervous activity, activates the motor centers, causes a joyful mood, generates muscle energy, is used to treat diabetes, with digestive impairment, to correct the strabismus, self-activity. In therapeutic practice, the meditation of yellow stimulates intellectual abilities, replenishes the mineral flaw, reduces acidity in the body.

It is zodiacal for twins, virgins and lions.

Green . Physiologically optimal. Reduces blood pressure, expands capillaries, soothes and facilitates migraine, increases muscle performance for a long time. The opposite is opposite.

"They say, the one who does not like green (who does not like it) is afraid of life difficulties, his infancy is frightened, and any changes in life. And the one who prefers him is afraid to be under whose influence, constantly asserting. People who like green color is distinguished by a strong will, stubbornness, perseverance that allow them to overcome the difficulties of life. If you like light green tones, you are characterized by softness and tenderness, you are energetic, you know how to cooperate and always come to the rescue to the neighbor, perhaps in you hid healer. " Goethe

Green color has a refreshing and at the same time soothing effect on the body, exhibits antiseptic properties, it is recommended when treating the nervous cardiovascular system, asthma, insomnia.

It is a zodiacal for calves, crayfish, maidening.

Blue . Soothing color, reduces muscle tension, lowers blood pressure, soothes the pulse, slows down the respiratory rhythm, lowers temperature body, refreshing, sets up for patience, reduces appetite, soothes pain, has an anti-precipitating antiseptic effect, helps with insomnia, nervous disorders.

It is a zodiacal for scales, fish, firemen, caperpashers, water.

Blue . The soothing effect goes into the depressing, contributes to the braking of the functions of human physiological systems, has antiseptic and bactericidal properties, promotes growth, heals swelling, burns, baldness, rheumatism, headache, eye inflammation. Recommended in therapy for emotional and nerve people. Long exposure to blue can be deressed.

It is zodiacal for scales, fish, firing, and caperpashers.

Purple . Connects the effect of red and blue. Produces an inhibitory effect on nervous system.

Consider Fig.1

Explanation of the drawing:

Toning effect

Soothing.

Green, as can be seen from the drawing occupies the most neutral position.

Purple color, in fact, should be as if as it were, because It has an oppressive impact, and not soothing like a blue or blue.

Psychological effects of color

Head from the book "Colorology" Mironova, 1984

As can be seen from the historical review in the first part of the book, the psychological aspect of color perception is inextricably linked with socio-cultural and aesthetic. Every single color or combination of colors can be perceived by a person different depending on the cultural and historical context, from spatial location Color spots, its shapes and textures, from the mood and cultural level of viewers and many other factors. Therefore, attempts to compile "registers" of hard correspondences between the color and emotional state cannot be recognized fruitful. The value of this problem for artists of applied specialties is quite clear. After all, any product of applied art or design - walls of buildings, decorative fabrics, furnishings, clothing, machinery and tools of labor - creates a flower environment, one way or another, the formative state of the person who affects its thoughts and the level of performance. Of the whole range of issues that make up the complex problem of the psychological effect of color, the designers are particularly relevant to the issues of human physiological reactions on the color and color associations. Let's put in briefly their essence. All spectral colors in one way or another affect the functional systems of the person. Red- an exciting heating, active, energetic, penetrating, thermal, activates all the functions of the body; Used to treat chickenpox, scarletins, measles and some skin diseases; For a short time, the muscular voltage increases, increases blood pressure, speeds up the respiratory rhythm. Orange - toning; acts in the same direction as red, but weaker; Accelerates blood pulsation, improves digestion. Yellow (the brightest in the spectrum) is a toning, physiologically optimal, least tiring; Stimulates eyesight and nervous activity. Green(the most familiar for the organ of vision) is physiologically optimal; reduces blood pressure and expands capillaries; Soothes and facilitates neuralgia and migraine; For a long time increases engine-muscular performance. Blue - soothing; Reduces muscular tension and blood pressure, soothes the pulse and slows down the respiratory rhythm. Blue - the calming effect goes into the oppressive; It helps to slow down the functions of human physiological systems. Purple - connects the effect of red and blue colors; Produces an inhibitory effect on the nervous system. Studying this list, you can see in it an interesting feature - frequency. The exciting action of the color seems to be in periodic dependence on the wavelength. The function of the exciting action can be depicted in the form of sinusoids. The radiation wavelengths are more convenient to lay on the horizontal axis in descending order. The first color, red, is the most exciting. But the maximum degree of this quality is not at the very beginning of the visible region of the spectrum, but somewhat derogate from the beginning, that is, where this color becomes the maximum brightness for its color tone. Orange and yellow - toning colors, i.e., the excitation effect of them is moderately, reduced quantitatively. Green is a physiologically neutral color, since it is the color of the biological environment, from which a person came out. IN blue color It is clearly felt by the soothing effect, which, as the blue and purple blue and purple transition increase. Finally, purple color affects oppressing. However, approaching the red to purple end, the spectrum seeks to clicter. Extremes meet. In purple, something from red, i.e. something exciting something. Purple color, uniting the properties of red and purple, the circle closes. For the first time, this pattern noted Sh. Ferry, as mentioned M. Deriber in the book "Color in human activity." The activity of the organ of vision can be initiated by other senses: touch, rumor, taste, smell. Color sensations may also cause memories and associated emotions, images, mental states. All this is called color associations. Color associations can be divided into several large groups: physical, physiological, ethical, emotional, geographical, etc. within each group contains smaller divisions. We give examples. Physical Associations: a) weight (lungs, heavy, air, gone, weightless, ...); b) Temperature (warm, cold, hot, ice, burning, ...); c) textured (soft, rigid, smooth, prickly, rough, how old, ...); d) acoustic (quiet, loud, deaf, ringing, musical, ...); e) spatial (protruding, retreating, deep, surface, ...). Emotional Associations: a) positive (funny, pleasant, wretched, lively, lyrical, ...); b) negative (sad, sluggish, boring, tragic, sentimental, ...); c) neutral (calm, indifferent, balanced, ...). This list can be continued. It is easy to see that almost any adjective of our speech corresponds to some color. This indicates emergency latitude and universality of color associations, about an extremely important place that they occupy in human life, regardless of whether it is aware of it or not. The path of formation of color associations is similar to the process of forming conditional reflexes. The sensations and emotions caused by any color are similar to the sensations associated with the subject or phenomenon constantly painted in this color. Any reader, apparently, can lead many examples from his personal experience confirming this pattern. Obviously, different colors have an unequal ability to cause mental reactions. To assess these differences, we introduce the concept quality Associations. To qualities can be assigned: a) the unambiguity of the feeling (that is, the certainty of it, the repeatability at different conditions for the same individual); b) the intensity of the sensation; c) stability within a large group of people. Quality of color associations, as well as aesthetic estimate of colors depend on both the objective properties of the colors themselves and the properties of the perceive subject. TO objective properties of color Its purity, lightlock (brightness), form of color spots, place and value of it in a visual structure, material and texture. Properties perceiving Subject can be divided by group and individual. TO firstwe will take the national factor (race, ethnic group), cultural traditions, class affiliation. Ko second The age, gender, cultural level, education, generation, features of the neuropsychiatric warehouse of the subject. Numerous studies (M. Saint-George, B. Wright, L. Reinwater, A. Poop, R. France, etc.), as well as the statements of artists and poets allow you to make some conclusions regarding the relationship of the objective properties of color with the reactions that they cause . 1. The cleaner and brighter color, the certainty, more intense and stable reaction. 2. Complicated, amissized, medium-dimensional colors cause very different (unstable) and relatively weak reactions. 3. The most unambiguous associations include temperature, weight and acoustic (most different people estimate these qualities of color mostly equally). 4. The most ambiguous associations include taste, tactile, olfactory, emotional, i.e. those related to more intimate experiences and with the activities of the biological organs of feelings. Here even close people can react differently to the same colors. 5. Purple colors Even in pure and bright form cause different reactions. (This can be explained by the duality of their nature.) 6. Yellow and green colors cause the greatest variety of associations. (This is because in this area of \u200b\u200bthe spectrum of the eye distinguishes the largest number of shades. In nature, these are exactly these colors. Each of the shades of yellow or green-goes in consciousness with a certain subject or phenomenon, hence the richness of associations.) The above mentioned that one of the factors affecting emotional experience Colors, is a form of an object or stain carrying this color. Speaking more generally, the impression produced by color is closely related to the subject structure and, it means depends on all its qualities. To study the patterns of this connection - it means to study the history of art and culture, as it is impossible to formulate any general theoretical provisions in this area outside the specifically historical situation. Next, there are interesting attempts to describe the correspondences between human emotions and a complex of plastic, sound and color images (according to observations over our contemporaries). One of these attempts belongs to J. Ormsby Simands in the book "Landscape and Architecture". "Since the conclusions of Simonds are a generalizing character and contain valuable thoughts for designers of any profile, we consider it possible to bring them here. Voltage. Unstable forms. Fractional composition. Illogical difficulties. Extensive number of values. Color conflict. Continuous color intensity. Spectative impassable in relation to line or point. Lack of point on which the eye can relax. Hard, rough or serrated surfaces. Unfamiliar elements. Sharp blinding or vibrating light.Sharp fluctuations in temperature. Piercing, acting on the nerves, sound. Discharge. Simplicity. The volume may vary in size from intimate to the grandiose. Conformity. Familiar objects and materials. Smooth lines. Bent forms and spaces. Explicit constructive stability. Horizontal. Pleasant and comfortable outlines. Soft light.Soothing sound. The volume saturated with calm colors is white, gray, blue, green. Fright.Sensible restriction. Obvious Western. Lack of orientation points. Lack of means to estimate the position or scale. Hidden zones and spaces. Inclined, distorted or broken planes. Illogical unstable shapes. Slipping floor plane. Danger. Unprotected voids. Acute protruding elements. Distorted spaces. Tuskness, darkness, gloomy. Pale and trembling or, on the contrary, blinding light. Cold blue, cold green tones. Abnormal monochromatic color. Fun.Free spaces. Smooth, smooth forms and patterns. The possibility of vortex, dustered and looping. Movement and rhythm expressed in the construction. No restrictions. Forms, colors and symbols that appear more to emotions than to intelligence. The possibility of theatricality. Often bright and spontaneous, taken in contrast with heavy and dark. Warm bright colors. Fluent, sparkling, shimmering light.Cheerful, wretched sounds. Contemplation. The scale does not matter, since the subject is immersed in the depths of its consciousness. All space can be soothing and modest or very spacious and richly degraded - if only structural forms did not attract attention. No distracting sharp contrasts. Symbols, if only they are used, should be related to the theme of contemplation. The space should ensure the feeling of isolation, privacy, abandonment and peace. Soft scattered light. Calm neutral colors. Low muted sound flowsnot perceived by consciousness. Dynamic action.Bold shapes. Powerful constructive rhythm. Planes set at an angle. Diagonal. Massive materials, such as stone, concrete, wood or steel. Rough natural surfaces. Steep vertical. Explicit composite center. The concentration of attention on the focal point of action is on the podium, at the collection point or at the entrance gate, where the overall movement is directed. Movement caused by dynamic lines moving light and decisive changes in shape, character and sound. Strong simple colors. Elevated, spiritual. The striking scale that exceeds the usual human representation and immerses part of a huge space. Highly soaring forms in contrast with low horizontal shapes. The volume is arranged so as to keep a person naughty to the extensive plane of the floor, while the eyes and thoughts seek up vertically. Orientation up. Completed composite order, often symmetrical. The use of expensive and capital materials. The use of restrained white. If color is applied, these are cold colors, such as blue-green and purple. Discontent.An annoying change of directions and disclosures. Zones and spaces that are not suitable for intended use. Interference. Extreme. Fine difficulties. Lack of comfort. Unpleasant texture. Invalid use of materials. Illogy. False. Unreliability. Tiriness. Screaming. Boredom. Mess. Disharmonious colors. Dissemising sounds. Unpleasant temperature or humidity. Unpleasant light quality. Pleasure. Space, shapes, textures, colors, symbols, sounds, light quality, clearly suitable for the use of space, whatever it is. Satisfying expectations, requirements or desires. The development of sequences and their implementation. Harmonious ratios. Unity in diversity. The result of beauty resulting. In the art composition software(Painting, cinema, scenography) Emotional perception of color is complicated by the content of the work. It is more legitimate to talk about the ambivalence of the psychological effect of color than in cases where the color is taken is isolated or in a disassembled structure. But the fact that the specific situation of the picture changes the emotional sound of this color not anything, but only on right oppositegenerally accepted. For example, a saturated spectral yellow is definitely a cheerful and cheerful color. But in the painting Van Gogh "Night Cafe" This color emphasizes the mood of despair and longing. A clear, cloudless blue sky usually inspires a clear and serene mood to a person, but in the pictures of S. Dali or D. Kirico, the clean sky even more deepens the feeling of horror or disgusts, suggested by the composition as a whole. S. Eisenstein in connection with the work on color cinema investigated the question of "absolute" matches of sound and colors. He came to the conclusion that "in art is not solved absolute Compliance, A. arbitrarily figurativewho are dictated figurative The system of one or another work. Here the case is never solved and will never solve the immutable catalog of the color plane, but The emotional meaning and effectiveness of the color will always arise in the order of living formation of the color-shaped side of the work, in the process of forming this image, in the lively movement of the work as a whole". You cannot disagree with this conclusion. Everything is true, with the exception of the word" arbitrarily ". The artist" color "image not arbitrarily It is considered with the traditional color value and subordinate to him or gives him its oppositevalue. Following the given paragraph of S. Eisenstein describes an example from his practice confirming that the conditioned approach to the color decision: "It is enough to merge the topic of white and black in the films" Old and New "and" Alexander Nevsky. "In the first case, it was associated with black Reactionary, criminal and backward, and with white - joy, life, new forms of management. In the second case, the topics of cruelty, evils, death (it was very surprised abroad and was marked with a foreign press); black Together with Russian troops carried a positive topic - heroism and patriotism. " Such a rearrangement of black and white does not contradict the usual symbolism of these colors: in Russia, for example, the color of mourning is black, but the funeral savan is white; In Japan and India, the color of mourning - white; The enemies of Soviet power during the civil war were called "white", although they were black. It would be more surprising and, probably, nobody is not understood if Eisenstein replaced, for example, black yellow-green, and white gray. When designing the coloring of any thing intended for a person, and especially for its individual use, it is necessary to take into account color preferences. Foreign scientists (R. France, M. Saint George, V. Walton, etc.) as a result of numerous studies came to the conclusion that exists biological congenital Color preferences. So, children under the age of one year, regardless of race and place of residence, they show the same preferences: red, orange and yellow they prefer green, blue and purple. Among adolescents and adult colors are distributed in their popularity as follows: Blue, green, red, yellow, orange, purple, white. In the book R. France "Psychology of Aesthetics" says that "on such ranking only minor influenceit provides artistic education, distinction in the field, belonging to different races and cultures. "Color preferences, as well as associations, are due to a plurality of factors. Typically, preferences should be considered not only individual colors, but also combinations. At the same time, the subject plays the subject - The color carrier. Evaluation of the color itself can be somehow different from the assessment of it in a specific situation. Therefore, the data of laboratory studies of color preferences cannot serve the only onethe basis for the development of the color composition of the object, even if we talk about its elementary aesthetic qualities. More faithful, albeit a more complex way to study color preferences can serve study of artistic creativity, such as decorative and applied art, amateur painting and graphics of a social group of people. In these areas, color sympathies are manifested immediately, and at the same time, all color is included in the composition, associated with the material and texture, i.e., on these objects, it is not necessary to study non-disgraced, and lively color, in the process of its own life and interaction with man. A full picture of color preferences can be obtained only on the basis of studying the history of the art of this people. But a person is a creature not only social, its activities are also due to the factors of the physiological order, and its mental reactions - the state of the nervous system. Therefore, the color preferences are resolved depending on the physiological properties of the body. Investigating the psychophysiological reactions of a person on color, you can identify some common patterns of color preferences. This method can be useful as an addition to the historical method. From the point of view of physiological impact, all colors and their combinations can be divided into two main groups: A. Simple, clean, bright colors. Contrast combinations. B. Complex, unlucky colors (broken, broken, shredded), as well as achromatic. Nuance combinations. The colors of the group "A" act as strong, active stimuli. They satisfy the needs of people with a healthy, tireless nervous system. Such entities include children, teenagers, youth, peasants, physical people, people who have a puffy temperament and open, directly in nature. And indeed, the colors and combinations of this type we meet in the following cases: in children's artistic creativity; in youth fashion on clothes; In the decorative and applied art of the peoples of all globe; in the amateur "urban folklore", whose creators are people of non-attile adult labor; In the art of the revolutionary artists of the XX century., breaking the canons (Matisse, Corbusier, Lyeya, Mayakovsky). The colors of the group "B" are rather soothing than they excite; They cause complex, ambiguous emotions, need a longer contemplation for their perception, satisfy the need for subtle and exquisite sensations, and such a need arises from the subjects of a fairly high cultural level. For all these reasons, the colors of the group "b" are preferred by people of middle and old age, intelligent labor, people with a tired and thinly organized nervous system. Colors and combinations of this type are found in the following cases: in a European costume for middle and old age; in the interior of the dwelling of the city intelligentsia; in painting and applied art of classes leaving from historical arena (XVIII V. Rococo, XIX and XX V.-Modern); In modern design graphics and color of the overwhelming majority of architectural objects, etc. The natural picture of the color preferences can be temporarily violated by fashion oscillations. Often in the same culture coexist the opposite types of color, satisfying the same consumer. Thus, the problem of color preferences is complex and needs a thoughtful and differentiated approach. An interesting phenomenon for the artist is color synesthesia. The word "synesthesia" means "compassion". This is a phenomenon when the senses are excited by inadequate stimuli. For example, with the sounds of music, there are sensations of flowers or when observing the color, there are any sounds, tactile, taste sensations, etc. "Sinesthetic feeling" was familiar to people of a subtle mental organization, apparently at all times. This is how Japanese poets felt: Dusk over the sea. Only shouts of wild ducks away vaguely whiten. Matsuo Bas Pour may rains. And the wind in the leaves of plums freshly conceded. Simimar Johann Wolfgang Goethe felt "invoice" colors and his "taste": "I have nothing against the assumption that color can even be born; this is his own peculiarity only would be even more found. The color is also distinguish. Blue will have alkaline, yellow red - sour taste. All manifestations of reality are related. " Color synesthesia was cultivated in the art of the romantic direction in the second half of the XIX century. And a little later in the music and poetry of symbolists. The French poet Artur Rembo (1854-1891) became famous for his sonnet "vowels": a - black, white - e; And - red; Y - green; O - blue; I will tell them the secret. "German romantic A. V. Schlegel (1767-1845) also felt" coloring "sounds:" A - corresponds to light, clear, red and means youth, friendship and radiance. And - responds to the heavenly blue, symbolizing love and sincerity. O - Purple, Yu - Violet, U - Ultramarine ". Extremely rich in colorful images of poetry A. Blok, A. White, S. Yesenin, K. Balmont, V. Khlebnikov. Many musicians and composers have" color hearing ". Wonderful Russian Composer A. N. Scriabin, in his musical poem, "Prometheus" wrote a "party of light" (i.e., light support of music). N. A. Rimsky-Korsakov said that "the dieza builds in it causes the presentation of flowers, and the faults. .. draw moods or a greater or smaller degree of heat ... "Among the painters, acutely felt color-music compliances, you can call D. Whistler, M. Churlenis, A. Lentulova, V. Kandinsky. In the book" On the spiritual in art "in . Kandinsky describes his color-music synesthesia in detail. Here are some of them: "Light heat-red ... Reminds the sound of a fanfar, and the pipe as it would be called - stubborn, obsessive, strong tone ... Cynicar sounds like a pipe and can be put in parallel B with strong drum blows ... Sound (orange) ... Like a monophonic sounding average bell, a strong alto of both human and string ... Purple ... Sounds somewhat painful, like something rejected and sad ... it is like The sound of the English horn, swirls and deeply in the deep tones of wooden tools like a fag. " The nature of synesthesia was investigated by many scientists. Some assumed that it can be based on the mutual inducing of excitations between the auditory, visual or olfactory fibers in the brain, in the places of their relatively location. Others saw in it the usual "Association of Ideas" (A. BINE). Third consider synesthesia a sign of atavism, the manifestation of primitive syncretism of sensations (M. Nordau).

Our familiar habitat, which forms with the help of design, has a huge impact on the health and psyche of all people living in the apartment. That is why it is vital that the layouts surrounding us and colors will be agreed with the features of tenants, formed healthy psychological climate And contributed to comfortable accommodation.

In recent years, a lot of attention is paid to color. Color perception A person is a mysterious physiological phenomenon. We are able to perceive the color only with your eyes, and it affects almost our entire body: our mood, well-being, health. Some believe that it is able to heal the disease and ask a tone of the whole life. Let's figure it out how color affects the interior design.

How does color affect a person?

It has long been known that the faithful gamma of colors in the design of the premises is able to work wonders. She does not just adorn the interior and creates a positive mood from people in it, but also supports man in his endeavors.

For example, exist color combinationsthat help to significantly increase labor productivity and facilitate work, create a calm and cozy environment that contributes to a good conversation and rest.

In addition, with the help of color, you can form an idea of \u200b\u200bobjects, about their beauty and appointment. Color allows you to focus on certain details in the room, while others hide.

There is a whole science that studies color, but it is closely related to other areas of human knowledge. It is at the junction of psychology, physiology, physics, lighting and art historical studies, as well as why color affects our organisms.

Perennial research and observations revealed that the colors of the short-wave part of the spectrum (blue, green, blue) and the long-wave part of the spectrum (yellow, red, orange) affect the different departments of the human nervous system. Therefore, the first group of colors began to call cold, and the second - warm.

Warm colors affect us, as if coffee in the morning. They temporarily tone the nervous system, briefly increasing the human performance, and then bright screaming paints begin to catch it - and the resources for active activity in humans does not remain. These colors are excellent for sports facilities.

Cold colors in the interior on the contrary reassure the nervous system. They help to reasonably spend the resources of the body, to maintain the performance longer. In addition, they allow you to quickly remove the tension and pacify a person. These colors are great for premises, where you have to engage in mental labor, often work at the computer.

There is a special group of colors: shades of the middle section of the spectrum (blue-blue, green-blue, yellow-green colors) and mixed soft pastel colors (green gray, gray-blue, turquoise colors). Their impact on man is most favorable. They have a soothing, pacifying impact.

Psychologists and painters are known that the color affects a person, causing certain emotions. In addition, in different psychological states, we can perceive the same color in different ways. In addition, historically developed that certain colors enclose a clear symbolism - state, religious, secular. Using this class array, designers and pick up the interior colors.

Note!
Color has a colossal impact on a person, but not only it is able to influence us. Any subject of the interior, any design in the room never appears to be uniformly painted. The lighting sets the contours of the item, lubricating or enhancing its outlines, forms color shades, puts accents. Therefore, often the light plays no less important in creating psychological comfort than color. Remember this, choosing, how to paint the walls!

Impact of color on the psyche of man

Professional, like any artist, perfectly understands how different colors are distributed in the spectrum, interact with each other, and what effects have colors and the shades per person obtained when mixing them.

White color

Symbolizes purity, peace, chastity, solitude, serenity, concentration, perfection. This is a positive color that includes all the shades of the spectrum. Often, it is correlated with spirituality and spiritual health. It is believed that he purifies and at the same time charges energy, opens the vision of new features and gives force to overcome obstacles. But the oversupply of this color creates a feeling of superiority or, on the contrary, enhances the complex of inferiority. It is recommended to use white color Only in combination with other shades. It is an excellent background for various accents, allows you to expand the room.

Black color

It is considered the most mysterious color of the spectrum, since it easily absorbs the light and hides what carries. Therefore, it is often associated with curiosity, secret and knowledge. His symbolism is the end, silence and peace. It gives hope for changes, but is able to strengthen depressive states and despondency, to impose weakness and cruelty. This is a very rich, meaningful color that can motivate, push to the creation and disclosure of strong qualities. In some circumstances, it is distinguished by elegance and sexuality. This is a business, serious color. It is not recommended to use in the interiors in its pure form. But it is perfect for a contrasting underscore. In addition, black allows you to visually reduce and delete an object.

Red color

Associated with fire, heat, dynamic life, activity, will and energy. In extreme states, he symbolizes anger, passion, aggression. It is believed that red not only excites the nervous system and enhances the release of adrenaline, but also positively affects blood circulation and stimulates sexual attraction. This bright and rich color is well suitable for melancholic and doubtful people, but for extroverts and cholerics, it may be redundant, developing them intolerance, stubbornness and cruelty. It is recommended to use it in rooms where movement is necessary and activity: in sports halls, stairwells and hallways.

Orange color

It is a pleasant warmth and mild light of the rising sun, and also flowing lava. Therefore, this color pleases the eye, increases the mood and keeps in a tone. In many ways it is similar to red, but its impact is softer. He also strengthens the will, enhances sexuality and stimulates appetite. Especially good orange is combined with cold colors, reinforcing their positive characteristics and cleansing from severity. In general, he is able to make joyful revival practically in any interior.

Yellow

First associated with the Sun and Heat. And he personifies freedom, mind, knowledge, intuition and intelligence. This color helps to concentrate attention and fight difficulties, speeds up the process of analyzing the facts and decision-making. Yellow Frees thoughts from the negative and improves self-esteem, gives confidence in yourself. When you overshable yellow parts, you can strongly overcome - this color becomes annoying.

Green shades

Associate with nature, life and harmony. But green color not only combines us with nature, but also helps people get close to each other. He relaxes, soothes. In fact, this color does not radiate energy, but on the contrary generates and accumulates for future undertakings. This is the color of recreation, stability and prosperity. But when it is excess, boredom appears, drowsiness. Allows you to neutralize the influence of other colors.

Blue

This is the sky, wind, ice and cold. Traditionally, it is correlated with sincerity, purity. This color is strongly associated with intelligence and speech. It allows you to donate from the world, focus on my thoughts or just contemplate what is happening. In addition, it improves communication, allows you to overcome shyness and fear public speeches. The excess of blue leads to disagreements and manipulations.

Blue colour

Protects constancy, rigor, dedication, seriousness. This is the color of order and systematization, principle and ideals. He is like a sea depth, which is intoxicates, manites, calls for the search for truth. But this is not the color of the single. On the contrary, it symbolizes the partnership, belonging to the whole, association. Like any cold shade, it allows you to visually increase the room: make it higher and more spacious.

Purple

The most majestic. He symbolizes wisdom, nobility, creativity, inspiration and law. This is the most sensual color that hides a huge arousal - the joy of creative self-realization. Researchers believe that purple color allows you to concentrate and productively reflect. This color combines the body and spirit, material and spiritual needs.

Please note that the above descriptions refer only to pure colors. Tints of these flowers can have other impact on a person, including the opposite.

Interesting to know!
Often, the color is selected so as to regulate the temperament and character of a person. If a choleric lives in the apartment, it makes no sense to paint it into bright wicked shades. But the melancholic warm gamma will benefit.

What colors are suitable for the room?

The choice of color for your interiors is determined by your taste, temperament and task that stands in front of the designer. Nevertheless, there are some patterns that are fully respected.

• For external premises of the apartment, which are located closer to the entrance door, bright colors are better suited or contrast combinations of warm and cold tones.
• For the living room, it is also better to use animating and invigorating shades.
• What to choose the color of the bedroom? Of course, he must pacify. Therefore, sleeping rooms and recreation are painted in pastel and cold tones. Sometimes you can revive the palette with bright details, but do not overdo it!
• Calm shades are also suitable for the toilet and the bathroom.
• The color of the walls in the kitchen should excite appetite and promote a good conversation. Therefore, it will be great for moderately bright colors here: orange, yellow, brown and green.

And finally ...

If you are going to pick up the colors yourself for your interior, download the color circle on the Internet, which will allow you to quickly combine colors in accordance with the rules of artistic harmony.

For example, the mood "below the plinth" - and you subconsciously dress in black. On the heart of the holiday - and in the wardrobe there are more bright things.I wonder: in European culture, white color is a symbol of purity, and black - evil. In Africa, the same way is on the contrary. As usual, and the Japanese are usually - they have their own understanding of the colors.

But we will focus on the closest interpretation to us. Remember the baby "Every hunter wants to know where the pheasant sits"? When self-analysis, it is quite possible to rely on these colors, adding the gamut with white, black and gray.
