The right color for the right mood!


Colors play a very important role in our life. More than you would imagine! The colors that you have around you have a significant effect on your mood and feelings. Going along the same lines, the color that you paint your room in will have a significant effect on how you feel and function.

The color red is very simulative and can create passion and excitement, due to this; it is the perfect color in your living/dining room. It will induce conversation and enable you and your guests to lose all inhibitions. At the same time, one mustn’t overdo red, because after a point it can cause irritation and anger.



Yellow is the color of happiness, warmth and joy. It is a color that is perfect for kitchens because it is energizing and uplifting; similar to red, if you have too much of yellow then it tends to have an irritating and annoying effect.

Green and blue are serene, soothing and calming colors. Lighter shades evoke feelings of pleasant relaxation and calm, whereas darker shades would have the opposite effect!



Orange is full of excitement and enthusiasm. It wouldn’t work well in a bedroom because orange wouldn’t allow you to relax and unwind; this color would best work in an activity room!

Lastly, there are a number of neutral colors – black, grey and white. Black tends to be depressing so one must use it just to give texture, grey and white accompanied with the brighter hues would have the perfect effect on your eyes AND your mood!



Another thing to remember, darker shades of any color can be depressing and feel like a wet blanket; instead, make use of the lighter hues and accessorize in the darker shades!
