How colors affect the feeling of a room.
RED
Red raises a room's energy level. It's a good choice when you want to stir up excitement, particularly at night. In the living room or dining room, red draws people together and stimulates conversation. In an entryway, it creates a strong first impression. Red has been shown to raise blood pressure, speed respiration and heart rate.
YELLOW
Yellow captures the joy of sunshine and communicates happiness. It's perfect for kitchens, dining rooms, and bathrooms, where a happy color is energizing and uplifting. In halls, entries and small spaces, yellow can feel expansive and welcome.
BLUE
Blue brings down blood pressure and slows respiration and heart rate. That's why it's considered calming, relaxing and serene, and is often recommended for bedrooms and bathrooms.
GREEN
Green is considered the most restful for the eye. Combining the refreshing quality of blue and the cheerfulness of yellow, green is suited to almost every room in the house. In a kitchen, sage or medium green cools things down; in a family room or living room, it encourages unwinding but has enough warmth to promote comfort and togetherness.
PURPLE
Purple-in its darkest values (eggplant, for example)-is rich, dramatic and sophisticated. It's associated with luxury as well as creativity, and as an accent or secondary color, ti gives a scheme depth. Lighter versions of purple, like lavender and lilac, bring the same restful quality to bedrooms as blue does but without the risk of feeling chilly.
ORANGE
Orange evokes excitement and enthusiasm and is an energetic color. While not a good idea for a living room or for bedrooms, this color is great for an exercise room. It will bring all the emotions out that you need when jumping into your fitness routine. In ancient cultures, orange was used to heal the lungs and increase energy levels.
Would you Rather
Have to give up any chance to ever earn more than $4 per hour, in exchange for a 50/50 chance on winning $100 million tomorrow
OR
Pass on the gamble and continue with your 9 to 5 job?
Keep on Go!
