What colors will you choose to paint your house? How are your thoughts influenced by the colors you see? What’s the relationship between our thoughts and colors? Recently, the scientists did A study. It has found the secret behind our thoughts and colors.
Colors are often divided into “warm ”(reds and oranges)and “cool ”(blues and greens ). From the study, the scientists found that when the walls in the room are painted in warm colors, we actually feel that the temperature there is higher. However, when they are painted in cool colors, we feel the temperature there is lower. This makes warm colors a good choice for rooms in a cool climate. Cool colors are a good choice in rooms that are warm.
Putting a light color on the wall makes that wall seem a little further away than it actually is. While darker colors on walls makes them seem even closer than their true positions. So you can use colors to “change” the shapes of rooms.
The study has also showed the special “powers” of colors. First, the color green has something to do with creative thinking. So greens are a good choice for home offices, art rooms, and so on. Therefore we always see green color in offices. Next, they found that people in front of red backgrounds are more attractive. So reds are great for bedroom wall. What’s more, using yellow in a house can be wrong. But yellow may be accepted in kitchens because warm colors can help encourage people to eat more.
All in all, colors do have influences on our thoughts. And maybe we can find more in the future.
