Comment posted Do colours affect how you feel? by CarpetShark.

I believe that colours definitely affect how you feel. Someone once told be that you could make yourself feel better by wearing brightly coloured nail varnish. I tried this out and wore bright yellow nail varnish and every time I looked at it I felt better and smiled. Its strange but it true and now if I’m feeling down, I paint my nails a bright colour :)

  • Yes, some studies have shown that bright pastel colours can improve mood, while very strong or dark colours can have an adverse effect.

    White, pale green and pale blue have often been thought of as beneficial to health, possibly because they’ve got a freash, clean appearance. In Georgian and Victorian times dining rooms were often painted blue as this was thought to have a good influence on the digestive system!

  • Most definitely. My one daughter’s bedroom is painted light blue, and I always feel cold in there. My other daughter’s room is a sunny yellow, and it always feels warm and inviting. I’ve been places where the walls are red, and it makes me feel agitated. Wearing those type of colors make me feel the same way, too.
  • blue is supposed to also kill your appetite, thats why places have the all you can eat, blue plate special
  • Sure. Years ago Chevron spent thousands and thousands of dollars to come up with a color for their gas station rest rooms. They played with different colors before they came up with the light blue they use now. Why, because they found out in tests that people tend to be more relaxed in a room that color, do their business, then leave just as relaxed. All other colors used caused people to throw trash, leave a mess and other bad things. Somewhere I remember reading a list of the different colors they used and what happened in the rest rooms that were painted those different colors. So, yes, colors do effect how you feel.
  • Yes. Hot colors make most people anxious and or cranky. Cool colors tend to make them feel peaceful.
