Room and house colors
Red
Red is the color of fire and blood, so it is associated with energy, war,
danger, strength, power, determination as well as passion, desire, and
love.
Red is a very emotionally intense color. It enhances human metabolism,
increases respiration rate, and raises blood pressure. It has very high
visibility, which is why stop signs, stoplights, and fire equipment are
usually painted red. In heraldry, red is used to indicate courage. It is a
color found in many national flags.
Orange
Orange combines the energy of red and the happiness of yellow. It is
associated with joy, sunshine, and the tropics. Orange represents
enthusiasm, fascination, happiness, creativity, determination, attraction,
success, encouragement, and stimulation.
To the human eye, orange is a very hot color, so it gives the sensation of
heat. Nevertheless, orange is not as aggressive as red. Orange increases
oxygen supply to the brain, produces an invigorating effect, and
stimulates mental activity. It is highly accepted among young people. As a
citrus color, orange is associated with healthy food and stimulates
appetite. Orange is the color of fall and harvest. In heraldry, orange is
symbolic of strength and endurance.
Yellow
Yellow is the color of sunshine. It's associated with joy, happiness,
intellect, and energy.
Yellow produces a warming effect, arouses cheerfulness, stimulates mental
activity, and generates muscle energy. Yellow is often associated with
food. Bright, pure yellow is an attention getter, which is the reason
taxicabs are painted this color. When overused, yellow may have a
disturbing effect; it is known that babies cry more in yellow rooms.
Yellow is seen before other colors when placed against black; this
combination is often used to issue a warning. In heraldry, yellow
indicates honor and loyalty. Later the meaning of yellow was connected
with cowardice.
Green
Green is the color of nature. It symbolizes growth, harmony, freshness,
and fertility. Green has strong emotional correspondence with safety. Dark
green is also commonly associated with money.
Green has great healing power. It is the most restful color for the human
eye; it can improve vision. Green suggests stability and endurance.
Sometimes green denotes lack of experience; for example, a 'greenhorn' is
a novice. In heraldry, green indicates growth and hope. Green, as opposed
to red, means safety; it is the color of free passage in road traffic.
Blue
Blue is the color of the sky and sea. It is often associated with depth
and stability. It symbolizes trust, loyalty, wisdom, confidence,
intelligence, faith, truth, and heaven.
Blue is considered beneficial to the mind and body. It slows human
metabolism and produces a calming effect. Blue is strongly associated with
tranquility and calmness. In heraldry, blue is used to symbolize piety and
sincerity.
Purple
Purple combines the stability of blue and the energy of red. Purple is
associated with royalty. It symbolizes power, nobility, luxury, and
ambition. It conveys wealth and extravagance. Purple is associated with
wisdom, dignity, independence, creativity, mystery, and magic.
According to surveys, almost 75 percent of pre-adolescent children prefer
purple to all other colors. Purple is a very rare color in nature; some
people consider it to be artificial.
White
White is associated with light, goodness, innocence, purity, and
virginity. It is considered to be the color of perfection.
White means safety, purity, and cleanliness. As opposed to black, white
usually has a positive connotation. White can represent a successful
beginning. In heraldry, white depicts faith and purity.
Black
Black is associated with power, elegance, formality, death, evil, and
mystery.
Black is a mysterious color associated with fear and the unknown (black
holes). It usually has a negative connotation (blacklist, black humor,
'black death'). Black denotes strength and authority; it is considered to
be a very formal, elegant, and prestigious color (black tie, black
Mercedes). In heraldry, black is the symbol of grief.
