Colour of Life

Color is a powerful and important communication tool, and it is tied to religious, cultural, political and social influences.Most of us have a favorite color or prefer some colors over others. This is because it can effect our mood, so we surround ourselves in the colors that have a positive impact on our mood.Red can boost your energy, yellow often makes people feel happier, and blue is proven to bring down blood pressure and slow your heart rate which is why it is often associated with being relaxing. If you combine the happiness of yellow and the relaxing feel of blue you get green, a very pleasing color for many people.        Mental health units are known to use pastel tones on their walls so that patients feel calm, happy, and relaxed. Walls that are beige with a pink tint combined with mint green floors are a popular combination as it is said to create a soothing harmonious and calm area. At the other end of the spectrum, literally, schools tend to user bright colors that appeal to children.
