Colour and Mood

color_headeratla07.jpg

Sitting in a drab office all day, I definitely understand the effects colour has on our lives (thank goodness I have a window to look out, lest I go postal). But knowing which colours elicit which sort of human response is not exactly common knowledge. The good folks at Freshome posted a helpful guide titled, Room Color and How it Affects your Mood, spelling out the three basic ways colour effects our physical and mental responses. Definitely a good resource to tap into before busting out the cans of paint, because you don't want a room that evokes excitement and energy when what you really want is soothing and relaxing.

abby: that's strange, the link seems to work over here and with a few friends I asked to test. Nevertheless, here is the direct URL: http://freshome.com/2007/04/17/room-color-and-how-it-affects-your-mood/
