THE COLOR BLUE

Can Color Change Your Mood?

The answer is yes—at least most of the time. Many people dont understand the impact color has on our physical body and on our emotional states. This happens wherever we are: at home, school, workplaces and health care facilities.

Walk into any kindergarten room and most likely youll notice a lot of bright colors on the walls. These colors stimulate brain functioning and make learning more fun. Some Tibetan teachers of Buddhism decorate their meditations rooms in midnight blue to calm the mind, with vertical lines of deep red to help wake up consciousness. Color therapists help clients release tension and promote healing by having them look at colors associated with the seven energy centers in the body while deep breathing.

Some color therapists also aim colored lights on an area of the body that is in need of healing. Colored light treatments have been known to increase or slow metabolic activity in an area and promote healing, depending on the color. Most alternative health practitioners have experimented with color and its powers to affect a persons state of mind and health.

Scientists have found that color isnt just used to lighten a room—it is actually mood altering. Some have found that color is one of the most important keys to relaxation. Since 75% or more of illnesses are the result of stress, relaxing plays a huge role in disease prevention. The effects of color can be drastic! In his book Color and Light in Man-Made Environments, author Frank H. Mahnke notes: [People] subjected to [visual] under-stimulation showed symptoms of restlessness, excessive emotional response, difficulty in concentration, irritation, and, in some cases, a variety of more extreme reactions.

Researcher Robert Gerard experimented by flashing red, blue, and white lights at test subjects. When the subjects looked at the red light, their blood pressure, breathing rates and the amount of sweat on palms all increased, as did the frequency of eye blinks. When the subjects looked at the blue light, blood pressure dropped, as did the amount of eye blinks and breathing. Gerard found that colors with longer wavelengths (the warm colors: red, yellow and orange) hype us up, while shorter wavelengths (cooler colors like blue, purple and green) calm us down.

Because peaceful, tranquil blue causes the body to produce calming chemicals, it is often used in bedrooms. It is believed that blue slows metabolic activity. Blue can also be cold and depressing.




The Color Psychology of Blue * Blue is described as a favorite color by many people and is the color most preferred by men. * Blue calls to mind feelings of calmness or serenity. It is often described as peaceful, tranquil, secure, and orderly. * Blue can also create feelings of sadness or aloofness. * Blue is often used to decorate offices because research has shown that people are more productive in blue rooms. * Blue is one of the most popular colors, but it is one of the least appetizing. Some weight loss plans even recommend eating your food off of a blue plate. Blue rarely occurs naturally in food aside from blueberries and some plums. Also, humans are geared to avoid foods that are poisonous and blue coloring in food is often a sign of spoilage or poison. * Blue can also lower the pulse rate and body temperature. * Consider how blue is used in language: blue moon, blue Monday, blue blood, the blues, and blue ribbon.
