We all love colour. Across every continent and in every culture, the ancient language of colour dominates and permeates every moment of our lives. Yet few of us realise how we "feel" and "react" to colour is so much more than just a psychological phenomenon. Stop and think for one minute and imagine a world without it, and words like drab, dreary, unpredictable and dangerous might spring to mind ! In our fast-moving world we are constantly bombarded by colour. Its wonderful vital force surrounds us, it feeds and nourishes our senses. We see it, feel it, and absorb it. Our bodies minds and spirits are profoundly effected by it.

 

Do we react favourably to a sunset ? Imagine a pink school room, a green hospital ward, a golden carpet in the living room, a red dress or tie, do you conclude them all to be eminently salubrious? The power of colour cannot be underestimated, its impact is without question multifaceted. 

​

Having said that, how to understand which colours best express our personality and which hues can best support our home, business, lifestyle and health needs can be seen as no easy task. 

​

Home 

The colours of the rooms in your home are a direct reflection of your personality. While most of us may not spend a lot of time thinking about room colour, it affects us every day. Room colour can influence our moods and our thoughts.

​

Ask yourself: 

​

• What colours do you live with? 

• Is there too much of one colour/Not enough of another? 

• Is the overall effect too dark, too light, too bright or too dull?

• Does your home feel like a healing place,  promoting healthy minds and bodies ?

• Are the rooms decorated in the colours you like?

• If not, what colours would you change them?

• How are the present colour choices making you feel?

• How do family members feel and behave around the present colour choices ? e.g. are they restless or relaxed? Do they sleep well? Do they suffer with headaches?

 

Wardrobe

Whether you fancy yourself as a sunny yellow, a passionate red or a cool blue, your instinctive colour preferences both within your personal and professional attire really does reveal the deepest parts of your personality and tells the world who you are and what you stand for. 

​

Think about your clothing choices :​

​

• What colour/s are the most common?

• How do your colour combinations feel?  e.g.  safe, life enhancing, draining?

• How often are you drawn to that favourite outfit?

• Have you ever had that urge that you just have to change what your wearing but not knowing why?

• Have you notice wearing certain colours have made you feel out of sorts with yourself eg. chilled-out, calm and quiet, bold and brilliant, restless or even angry?

• What is your favourite colour and what does it mean to you?

• What's your least favourite colour? 

 

Business

Understanding colour meanings in business is an essential ingredient to success or failure.  We dont often realise the impact of our colour choices on our website colours, on our stationery and packaging, in our retail store or office, in our marketing or our business clothing. Indeed even what you choose for the colours of your office can have a dramatic effect on your clients and other visitors. That although the effects are subliminal and instinctive, they have the power to create either a good or bad perception of your business .

​

Think about your business:

 

• What colour is your company’s logo?

• How long did it take you to choose this colour and why?

• What are your website colours? 

• How long did it take you to choose these colours and why?

• What colour is your business clothing?

• What colour mainly predominates your office space?

• How does the colour make you feel?

 

Health

Although our colour choices are mostly unconscious we are drawn to the colours needed to create balance in our lives, the goal in all healing.
