Color sets the mood for every single room design. Because colors are frequently associated with our moods and emotions, the psychology of colors plays a very important role in each client's color selections. Have you ever thought about how much of our every day language is color oriented? We talk about being "in the pink", or having a "rosy outlook", or "feeling blue". By using color to express our emotions it's only natural that we all have very definite reactions to colors.
Red: A strong stimulating color. People who like reds yearn for the impulsive side of life. Red is a color of action, love and courage. You are likely to be outspoken (on occasion!) and athletic. You might also have a quick temper and judge things without too much deliberation. First impressions really count with you.
Blue: A serene cool and stately color. Blue lovers tend to be capable, conservative and sensitive individuals. They are resourceful and know how to carry out responsibilities. And they also know how to make money. While they enjoy life, they find it difficult to truly share their emotions. They also tend to be very serious, opinionated and a little stubborn.
Green: A calming and restful color. Green lovers tend to be fresh, natural and friendly in nature. You might tend to indulge yourself a little too much. You're active in community affairs, like to be social, and yearn to have people like you.
Orange: A cheerful, warm color. If you like orange you're friendly, cheerful and able to get along with practically everyone. You're social by nature, and hate to be alone. Your greatest wish is that the world be a warm and mellow place.
Yellow: Sunny and bright. Yellow lovers tend to be very intellectual by nature. You might be just a bit stubborn, but your character is profound and your advice sensible.
---Remember there is no such thing as bad color - only bad combinations of colors!
