On the psychology of colors

Much has been said and written about the psychology of colors. The effects of colors on us have been well studied. Some colors are considered to be more calming and soothing, other more energizing and uplifting.

A lot of the time and unless it is the effect intended, color choices are about balance.

They “speak” to each other and to the other elements of a room such as the furniture and accessories.

Depending on the use of the space and other considerations such as the lighting, size of the room or personal preferences, certain hues and tones may be preferred instead of others.

Finding the right color is about achieving the feeling and effect we wanted to achieve, taking into consideration the space we are choosing the color for.
