How Color Affects Mood

Date:

Color can affect mood. According to color therapy, orange not only boosts energy levels, but also increases blood flow to the brain, which aids in intellectual activity.

Have you ever heard that color can affect your mood? A lot of people don’t really care much about color when choosing clothes, but in fact, color can affect your mood.

When we look at an object, a wave of reflected light passes through the cornea and stimulates retinal cells. When a cell is stimulated by light, it transmits a message through the optic nerve.

The brain images the messages it receives, but these images can be interpreted in the light of experience or related to past experiences.

Through this process, we can see a world full of colors and images that convey a variety of emotions. Let’s take a closer look at how color affects mood.

How Color Affects Mood

1. Red

Red is the color with the longest wavelength in the light spectrum. Because it is an eye- catching color, it is used in various traffic signs around the world.

In Spain in the 18th century , red and yellow were chosen as the colors of the flag so that ships on the sea could recognize the flag at once from a distance and not be mistaken for another flag.

Some argue that red can promote strong physical and emotional responses. Red can attract people’s attention and convey a feeling of passion and energy.

According to a study on color emotions, which analyzes color perception according to the response color evoked and its relationship to fashion consumption, 55% of people associate red with excitement.
