Numerous studies have been done on color psychology. It’s pretty intriguing if one digs deep into just how effective colors can be – in terms of our mood, attractiveness, thinking and physiological states.
Consider this: something as simple as choosing the right color of your clothes might change your mood and how attractive you look to others.
Here’s is a range of colors and respective emotions they trigger. Knowing them will definitely help you choose the right color for the right occasion.
1. Red
While red is the color of love, passion and sensuality, it is also the color of danger and anger. It isn’t as simple as one might think. When you choose to wear red, it requires quite some audacity and judgement. Choosing the right hue of red in accordance with your skin tone will surely give you a sense of newfound self-confidence. You will stand out in a crowd if you’re wearing red. In India, red is like the traditional color of the bride!
2. Yellow
It is the color of the Sun – or so we have known since our childhood, painting a yellow sun between two mountains in art class. However, it is indeed a very sunny and life-affirming color, which according to a fashion expert Jeannie Mai, can help you get on better terms with even the most stuck up and priggish people.
It is yet another color whose hue you will have to choose carefully. You might pair it with accessories and skirts to be sure which hue to go for!
3. Blue
We say we are feeling blue when we feel down or mellow when, in reality, blue is a very calming color. It has red’s opposite effect on our physiology – it lowers our blood pressure. If you have a first date and want to make an impression or you plan to chill out after a tough workday, blue is the perfect option!
If you think the blue hue is too dark, you might want to pair it with light or neutral colors.
4. Green
Green is a color which can be exciting as well as calming. It is a color which has an array of hues so you would probably find the one suitable for your skin tone. You would want to pair your green item with neutral-colored accessories if you want to highlight it. Lighter hues go pretty well with jewelry or bright colored accessories, like a red hat!
