Colours are a major element of our lives. It is a very powerful and emotional subject for people who are greatly influenced by the world around them. Every person looks at the world differently and so people’s opinion on colours vary vastly. The subject of colours is so vast that there is a whole psychology dedicated to colours.
Colour psychology is the study of colours as a factor of human behaviour, and how people perceive things around them through colours. It is a broad spectrum of study which ranges from colour of your food to colours in your relationships.
Every culture and civilization has its own take on colours and what it means to them. Each has their own symbolisms connected to colours for example, in China, red represents luck and fertility but in South Africa it symbolises death, grief, and violence. Therefore, the place and the environment in which one grows up plays a large part in our perception of colours. On a cultural level people might see colours the same way but on emotional levels we live different lives.

Regardless, there are certain colours that are known to rev up similar feelings in all of us according to colour science and colour psychology. Primary colours like red, blue, green, and yellow have affected the majority of the people similarly. Red influences some of us physically, it makes our heart rates go faster, it activates our fight or flight response. Red makes us feel that time is moving faster subconsciously. Yellow triggers our nervous system and gets an emotional response out of us. Yellow is said to be the strongest colour in psychological terms. Blue is more on the intellectual side. It triggers our mental response. Green is for peace and harmony. It stands between red, yellow, and blue, and brings balance between the mind, body and emotional self.
Selecting colours and identifying your own personal style can be overwhelming for some people, and for some unimportant. Be it decorating a new luxury villa in Bangalore you’ve just moved into or while redesigning your current apartment; it is necessary that you find and stamp your style into your homes to make it more comforting to live in. You might ask why the colour of the walls matter so much?
The colour of the walls reflects through your entire room, and your mind. It affects our moods, emotional state of mind, appetite and even sleep. Choose colours that you associate with happiness or a sense of calm.
With the right colours you can transform your house from just a place where you live to a safe, comfortable, supportive sanctuary that you can return to. Whether you live in a luxury flats for sale in sarjapur road or in a 4BHK villa in Electronic City, colours will play a substantial role in your state of mind at home, like how you feel when you come back home from a busy day at work.
