THE PERSONALITY OF THE COLOR

Every color has a personality and influences our emotions. Choose color that will reflect the mood you want to create.

Red is great for dining rooms, stimulating appetites and increasing brain activity. It is also excellent for child development.

Orange is an extrovert with a contemporary outlook. It helps in attracting people.

Yellow is the brightest color, stimulating memory and giving the room a warm sunny outlook. If used properly, it lifts spirits.

Green is a color of nature, offering a sense of tranquility to a room. It is a dominant color that also lends a feeling of security.

Blue is the most popular color. It lowers blood pressure and inspires meditation.

White is delicate and refined. It looks good with every other color and tones down other colors.

Use neutral whites, blacks, grays and browns in a monochromatic color scheme, or with contrasting color in an accented neutral scheme. Neutrals suggest sophisticated ambience. Neutral gray is a creative color. Any neutral is easily tolerated in a large area. Complex neutrals suggest class and exclusivity.
