Do you feel energised when you see the colour red? Does blue make you feel calm and comfortable? Experts believe that colours can profoundly affect our mood, emotions, and mental health.
Renowned artist Pablo Picasso once said, “Colours, like features, follow the changes of the emotions.”
According to Verywell Mind (an American website dedicated to mental health), certain colours have been linked to physical changes, such as increased blood pressure, heightened metabolism, and even eye strain. This suggests that colours have a significant influence on our emotions and physical well-being.
Colours not only beautify our surroundings but also affect our mental and physical health. Even the colour of the clothes we wear can impact our mood. Sometimes, small changes—like incorporating specific colours—can help improve our mental state.
What Is Colour Therapy?
Colour therapy, also known as chromotherapy, is a treatment method that utilises colours and light to address mental and physical health issues.
Effects of Different Colours:
Red: Red is associated with energy and vitality. If you are feeling low, this colour can boost your energy levels. However, if you are already stressed, it may amplify your emotions.
Blue: Blue is known for its calming properties. Dark blue shades, in particular, can reduce anxiety and promote mental peace. It can even aid in relieving insomnia by improving sleep quality.
Green: Green symbolises tranquillity and is considered ideal for reducing stress and achieving mental peace.
Orange: Orange fosters happiness and mental stimulation. It also helps boost appetite, especially if stress has dampened your hunger.
Next time you choose an outfit or redecorate your room, consider the impact of colours. Small adjustments can enhance your mood, foster mental peace, and increase overall happiness.
