The colors that surround us influence our moods and feelings more
then we know, although we often don't notice. No matter which way you turn your head, a different palette of colors
bombards you. Some colors are flamboyant and draw your attention right
to them, while others blend into a soft array that fades into the
background. Paint, fabric, wallpaper all can apply to color. How can you use color in your home to achieve the
ambiance that suits you best?
According to color studies, red is known as a "warm" color, while
blues and greens are "cool". Red and its surrounding hues are
thought to be "exciting and active" while blues, violets and green are
associated with "passive and calming". Light colors are also thought to
be "active" while deep colors can be "passive". Try paint color combinations and see what you think. Paint companies supply wonderful information about seasonal preferences, color choices, mixing and matching and much more. |
