Do not underestimate the effect of colors on the human psyche. The color scheme in the interior of the house can turn into irritability, aggressiveness of households. In the office - reduce performance. And in clothes - change your personality beyond recognition.
The task of psychology is to study the influence of the environment on the human psyche (whatever it is expressed) and to teach everyone who wants to use this knowledge for their own benefit. Hence the appearance of all kinds of interpretations, which are very useful for creating the desired image of the "I". Do you want to be successful and be able to present yourself to people? Change your wardrobe, psychologists advise. Do you want your child to develop in a calm and favorable environment? Make repairs. Use the effect of color on the human psyche purposefully, and this will serve you well.
Basic characteristics of colors
For analysis, we take only the basic colors according to the generally accepted models of color mixing that exist today: white and black, yellow, blue, red, green. And since purple is also interesting from a psychological point of view, consider it.
According to one model, white is the embodiment of a lack of color; according to another, it is black. However, from the point of view of psychologists, it is black that symbolizes the denial of color, and with it all social norms, the rejection of the bright colors of life, and the pressure of society. White, on the other hand, does not carry a special burden, but always mentally associates with purity and impeccability.
Red, they say, is the color of passion. The way it is. If a person prefers red, this indicates certain features of his character, that his personality is dominated by the following traits: impulsiveness, unbridledness, emancipation, active life position, determination. These are power-hungry people. Some prominent representatives of this category do not manifest themselves in the most ethical way in the desire to achieve their goal: “they go over their heads”.
People who prefer the blue color have opposite features, but at the same time, they have a “creative streak” due to their sensitive nature, and a craving for travel. As well as a high sense of proportion and responsibility.
Yellow color is preferred by cheerful people who are said to be: "the soul of the company." For them I want to go towards adventure.
Green reflects the character of a person who, unlike many, can boast of a stable position, he is confident in himself, sufficiently savvy in his field, which gives him the courage to walk through life.
The violet color is associated with the immaturity of the personality: emotional, and with a pronounced preference for this color, as well as pink, and intellectual.
The influence of flowers on the human psyche through the environment and clothing is especially pronounced.
Color in the interior of the house, office
Blue color creates the illusion of a more spacious room, but also cold. It is not recommended to use it in the interior of more than 40% of the total color design. Since the excess blue color causes a feeling of pressure: even the most confident person can doubt his own strength. The calming effect, with which many designers associate the blue color, is rather inherent in its lighter shades, i.e. blue (definitely not suitable for office design).
Green color in the interior will be preferred by individuals who seek unity with nature. In addition, this color really evokes a sense of harmony, tranquility, a sense of the splendor of life in the soul. A person in a room with a predominance of green will be devoted to contemplation, and only to him. Therefore, in the children's room, he will create the necessary conditions for the development of a little man. And in the office is suitable for a smooth, leisurely, but purposeful achievement of labor tasks. However, if you are already a fairly calm and calm person, and the working conditions require a quick response, then you should choose the opposite color scheme for the design of your office (for example, dim red to a reasonable extent).
Red is able to arouse passions in the bedroom, only it should be at a minimum (about 20%): it is enough to emphasize the interior of the room (paint one wall). It warms the soul and enhances physical activity. But its excess in the room will cause quarrels, aggressiveness, irritability. In a nursery, hyperactive children are not recommended. In a working environment, it will increase efficiency, but for a short time, and then there will be a sharp decline.
Yellow color will add the sun to a poorly lit apartment (if the windows do not face south) and a little happiness in life, will give vivacity. So, it is suitable for the bathroom, kitchen, for the nursery. Moderate tones of yellow will be appropriate in the office, if only you have a creative profession.
The influence of colors on the human psyche in the interior is great. It is especially noticeable in the negative effect of the violet color: the desire for knowledge, work decreases, any activity is replaced by passivity, depression.
Black is rarely used in interior decoration, and if used, then in a minimal amount. And this is reasonable, because gloom, cold and fear do not belong in comfortable housing.
But white allows you to expand the space. In small apartments, it becomes saving: the crushing walls will be loved and loved if painted in pure white.
Clothes color
White clothes demonstrate the purity, bright qualities of a person, his kindness, even if these features are completely not characteristic of him. Psychologists recommend wearing snow-white clothes to people prone to illnesses so that a sense of purity penetrates the depths of consciousness and purifies thoughts of the disease.
People who prefer to wear exclusively black clothes, rather gloomy personalities, protesting against society, the norms adopted in it. Sometimes wearing black clothes means serious stress, prolonged depression. And clothes only exacerbate this condition. Yes, sometimes the effect of flowers on the psyche is dangerous. To dispel the effects of negative emotions, psychologists advise to start wearing brightly colored clothes.
Violet shades are preferred by people emotionally open, kind, sociable. Among others, such a person is associated with spiritual purity, innocence. He gives a person a sense of harmony, calmness.
It is recommended to wear yellow clothes to raise the mood, both for yourself and others. Although you need to know the measure so that it does not hurt your eyes and does not cause the opposite negative effect among the interlocutors.
Red clothes scream and inspire many emotions to people around: sometimes irritation, sometimes fear, sometimes suppresses the will in the society of such a bright person. For uncertain people, this is a great way to feel "on the other side of the barricades."
Clothing predominantly blue creates the appearance of a serious, business person who wants to trust and conduct business with him. To make the same impression, you should also choose gray suits, sometimes beige (for meetings with business partners with whom you have been dealing for more than a year).
Preferring the green color in clothes - these are balanced, calm, harmonious people both in relations with others, and with oneself, and with the world as a whole. They are perceived by others exclusively positively and calmly.
The influence of colors on the human psyche is thoroughly studied not only by professional designers and fashion designers. Even doctors use it to treat patients. It’s time for us to bring the right colors to our lives.
