Understanding Colours

What are colours? 

They are the property possessed by an object of producing different sensations on the eye as a result of the way the object reflects or emits light.

So why do we need colours?

We need color in our lives. It’s as simple as that. Colors are essential; surrounding us with them makes us feel good. Can you imagine living in a world completely without colours? How boring will that be!

We live in a world where color dominates our lives and whether we like it or not we are drawn to the colors needed to create balance in our lives. They affect our mood and are excellent for self-healing. 

The relationship between colours and our mood:

Red: Energy, passion, power, excitement and love.

Orange: A creative, lively color. Great if you feel a bit moody or depressed.

Yellow: Warmth, calmness, willpower.

Blue: Relaxing and calming. A color with a soothing effect, great for all kinds of mood swings.

Purple/Violet: Maturity, spirituality, inspiration and rest.

Green: Color of hope and harmony.
