Influencing Your Mood With Color

 

Colors really do have an impact on how we behave, feel, even respond. Much of this is a result of automatic behavioral responses that we aquire over our lifetime resulting from our background, culture, etc. When you are picking out colors for decorating, remember that your choice of colors will affect how comfortable you will be in your surroundings and the atmosphere that is created. After doing a little research on what experts say about color effecting your mood, this is what I came up with. These results are a combination of several different opinions and/or studies.
