Very often, what colors people choose in everyday life can tell about what mood a person is in. But the most interesting thing is that it can be diagnosed by observing trends in human behavior or using one of the color tests. For example, one of the most popular Luscher tests can help in such a task.
Even before the study of this area of psychology, many scientists assured that the predominance of dark colors in clothes means a sign of a depressed mood in a person. However, this hypothesis was not confirmed.
During the experiment, many subjects claimed that their favorite color was black, but at the same time they were completely happy people and were in a wonderful mood. With the receipt of such empirical data, such a hypothesis collapsed in the bud.
Another interesting fact that scientists have been able to establish is that a group of subjects who used bright, even acidic colors were depressed for quite a long time, and their mood had already reached the maximum critical point of view. Scientists attributed this specific result to an unconditioned reflex, similar to that of animals. For example, although many animals are color blind, they can distinguish bright colors. Therefore, for many animals, bright colors are a signal of danger and cause an aggressive reaction.
A similar reaction can be seen in some people who use bright colors in their clothes. But this point of view has not yet found its exact confirmation, so it remained on the list of alleged.
The response and measure of mood to color scales is an individual indicator that can both raise the indicator of mood and contribute to its decrease.
Another point of view that is under development is the preference for color over the prevailing type of thinking. For example, people who have more developed creative thinking prefer bright and varied colors, while people with conservative thinking prefer seasoned tones: white, black or beige, that is, the classic options.
However, research in this area is still ongoing and scientists for many decades have not been able to come to a common opinion on whether there is a relationship between the choice of a color scheme and a mood indicator and what is the nature of such a connection.
