There is much more to colour than meets the eye. Strangely enough, we humans have a close emotional bond with the visible light aspect of the electromagnetic spectrum, a bond so strong it can easily make us feel stressed out with a raised heart rate or leave us with a warm and fuzzy sense of satisfaction.
Do you know the link between colour and emotion?
1. The more saturated the colour is, the more it is associated with excitement and stimulation
2. The lighter the colour, the more it is associated with calmness and relaxation.
3. Navy blue, followed by teal-like turquoise and soft pastel pink, make us feel relax and it is the most calming colour.
4. The orange colour is most often associated with happiness
5. Pink colour is viewed as the sexiest.
6. The colours people around the world most associate with luxury are white, purple, and orange.
7. Most people’s favourite colours appear to be green or blue, because they are associated with environmental features that can benefit from and enjoy, such as the sky, clean water, and vegetation.
