Take a look around and see what color prevails around you. What shades of clothing and surrounding objects are you wearing? What colors do you use for interior decoration? After all, each color has its own deep meaning. And, most likely, you made your choice for a reason.
A bit of history
Each color carries in itself certain information, the meaning of which is most often inaccessible to consciousness. In doing so, it can affect mood, sensation, and even health. Chinese healers used yellow products for stomach diseases, and red scarves were worn for patients with scarlet fever.
In the 19th century, "color therapy" began to take shape as a separate branch of science. Then the British scientists D. Down and G. Blunt proved that ultraviolet radiation has healing properties, they are effective against skin diseases and abnormalities in the development of bones. Similar properties of color are used in medicine to this day. In 1948, the Swiss psychologist Max Luscher published the first edition of the color test, which brought him worldwide fame.
The meaning of colors
Red
A great helper in any life obstacles. Lack of self-confidence? Use red for help. It increases activity and influences entrepreneurship. And of course, where without it, it gives rise to romantic feelings and stimulates souls with wonderful impulses.
Deep blue
Associated with the immense Universe, complete tranquility and serenity. This color is timeless and therefore a symbol of tradition and eternal values. And it's literally made for the sweetest dreams! Can't put a fidget child to bed or do you suffer from insomnia yourself? Add blue tones to the bedroom: paint one wall in the room or get blue blankets.
Green
This color will help dispel negative emotions, restore the body after stress, and concentrate at the moment of making a decision. Remember what color the chalkboard is? This deep shade of green has been developed by psychologists over the years to make it easier for students to concentrate throughout the day.
Violet
It is considered the color of fertility and creativity. It promotes deep inner focus. Helps to abstract from everything secondary and concentrate on the main thing. Purple is a great ally when you want to dive inside yourself and find the answer to a long-tormented question. But you should not abuse purple, in large quantities it can cause a feeling of melancholy and depression.
White
White is multifaceted. After all, it is formed from all colors at once. White inspires. Inspires faith, gives freedom and heals from ailments. It is believed that the white color helps to remove waste and toxins. White is recommended to be worn during illness and even when you really want to choose brown. It is worth more often to be in bright rooms and lay down snow-white linen.
Brown
Most people associate it with earthiness and everyday life. A person will latently choose brown if they feel uncomfortable at the moment. This color is completely devoid of eroticism. In the 20th century, the school uniform for girls was exactly brown to suppress the nascent teenage sexuality at the root.
Black
In contrast to white, it absorbs all colors around it. It attracts and at the same time frightens with its mystery. Black is often worn to protect or suppress one's emotions. Do you want to "get out" of this situation and look at it as if from the outside? Put on black. Remember which turtleneck Steve Jobs always wore? Hardly by chance.
Orange
This color keeps in good shape. It has all the features of red, but is much softer. Since ancient times, orange has been considered the color of health and creativity. It increases activity, but at the same time maintains a sense of inner balance and harmony. Need strength for an important project at work? Put an orange notebook in front of you or paste stickers - new ideas and creativity will not keep you waiting!
Yellow
Stimulates vision and nervous system, improves mental and logical abilities. Releases from restrictions. Yellow, as if directed to the future, rushes forward to the new and modern. It is not for nothing that the expression “leader's yellow jersey” exists. Add a yellow accessory to your outfit. He will not only draw the attention of others to you, but also make even the most obstinate colleagues at work listen to your opinion.
