I loved the fact you wrote about chromotherapy! The science of colors is something I really believe.
We should also remember the effects of colors for healing. Yellow lights tend to make us tired, depressed when blue and white lights make us more focused ~ that's why in schools we use very bright lights inside the classrooms.

Loved it! You do really rock!💋

[Wowgirl30q]

You're too sweet

[SydneySentinel]

I love the blues in that picture! I don't know exactly what shades they are but they're pretty.
I'm interested to hear about how psychology differs for those that perceive it differently.

[Wowgirl30q]

What do you mean,?

[SydneySentinel]

Like colorblind people

[Wowgirl30q]

I doubt there's been a study done. None I've heard of anyway

[Juxtapose]

A lot of color association can be attributed to nature and how we evolved.

Red, blood.

Yellow? Urine.

Blue? Water, sky, and usually not a color found in bodily fluids or other things that can cause a feeling of disgust.

Etc.

Good mytake.

[Wowgirl30q]

Nasty ass😂

[coachTanthony]

Red is what I always tell my female clients to wear during photo shoots. Spot on! Cool photos and cool take! Always interesting !!! Nice job!

[Wowgirl30q]

Thank you good sir.

[Wowgirl30q]

@coachTanthony that's why I wear pink. They never see me coming..😂

[loveslongnails]

Hey coach, we finally disagree on something, and it's women's clothing? LOL When I see a business woman in red, I think " there's a woman who bought into the hype that 'red means strength, power, aggressive confidence and security'. In my experiences, I've found it to mean exactly the opposite. Women who consistently rely on, or wear red, lack those qualities but are trying to convince onlookers that they have them. To me, it's like wearing a neon sign that says "look, I really don't have going on what I want to make you think I have going on". If I see a red dress at a cocktail party, it screams "look at me, I want your attention because I can't get it any other way". Ok, it's safe to say, I loathe that color choice most any time.

[coachTanthony]

@loveslongnails It's all good man. All my female clients wear red in at least 2 photos out of 5 when it comes to their online dating profile. Check out this video of my friend Haley doing an experiment with the color red!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nHPW5qV368M

[loveslongnails]

Ok … I object !! This experiment is faulty.
1) That's not a true red, it's much softer like it's been mixed with white, leaning towards rosy pink.
2) That woman is super good looking, dude ! It wouldn't matter what color coat she wears!
3) There's no "control" video … she'd have to do the same thing wearing different colored coats, in the same location under very similar conditions!

This is BAD science! LOL I'm going to have to watch her a few more times, though. haha

[Wowgirl30q]

@loveslongnails pinks better

[coachTanthony]

@loveslongnails Ha Ha Ha @wowgirl30q I love me some pink! No pun intended.

[loveslongnails]

I agree … pretty much anything BUT red. To clarify, I'm talking about "cherry red" or "fire engine red', not every color with some read in it.

[OlderAndWiser]

Quite an interesting myTake, and one that would have never occurred to me to write. I general, l think that men are less attuned to the role of color in emotional responses, and perhaps one of the reasons is that about 10% of men have some form of colorblindness while less that 1% of women have that deficit.

[razelove]

When I was doing lighting I had to look this all up, but slightly different effects for light you're projecting vs. refracting. Always before picking a color scheme, asking your client for one, or steering them to another one you have to ask what the function is, what the purpose of it is, what kind of people will be attending, and how they want them to feel.

Pair that with some subsonics, a good public speaker, and you're off to the races.

Nothing is worse than having a meal for fundraising and they want yellow, not gold, (more red and green saturation) but straight yellow color, most of the food isn't touched. No one wants to donate unless they had an obligation to beforehand.

Color makes a big difference. Just look at what happens at a concert when you fade the lights down, bring up the white, and it isn't a strobe, people go to either the bar, bathroom, or the exit.

You pick your sequences, patterns, and the timing for them beforehand, program your chases in, alter the tempo if needed, manually control some spotlights and change programs as needed, and just let it fly looking for issues as they come up. Generally you'll program a few and keep using them over and over again for different events and shows, just adjusting for location, amount of lights, etc.

Same for the subsonics. Why would a frequency no one can hear and can barely feel make a concert or public speech so much more intense?

[lightbulb27]

Great info!

I wonder if the colors trigger similar emotions in us or if it is more cultural. e. g. for christian/west, white is pure.. savior... good. For Muslims, black I believe is that color and white is "bad".

I found having my "colors" done helped in finding the tones that worked best for me. Til then, I would wear orange and feel ill. It does have an effect, not just that it's orange, but that I didn't look or feel good in it.

good point about taste! things that look "bland" often are... overcooked vegetables as example.

[Shezadi]

First of all, it was an amazing article and I appreciate these light hearted topics.

You forgot to mention pink, which is my favourite colour.

I heard light pink means hope.

As a girl, I am very happy to say that light pink means hope.

[Lauren-green]

I love this ❤️ I love drawing and doing arts, and often use colours to represent moods in the art piece etc. Today somebody said green was a primary colour, when I corrected them and said it was a secondary colour they started insulting me 😒

[Secret6620]

You really should post original works... I already did a Mytake covering colors and Psychology... Next time give credit to the person you are copying... You are not original in the slightest 💎
What Does Your Favorite Color Say About You?

[LoU_Hades]

I'm blue person. I like blue color (not especially on clothes) but I like decorations and even now I have blue desktop background.
Blue light wavelength increases testosterone level in males and I'm addicted to this hormone because it makes me think clear and focused.
I dislike brown and yellow. Brown has in my culture the meaning of decay and autumn, yellow means envy. That's why you should never give someone yellow flowers.

[MillenniumBill]

Frankly, I've never subscribed to the notion that colors "mean" anything. Colors either fit or don't depending on who is looking at them.
Any other interpretation is for overpaid psychologists, poets, philosophers, and writers for Disney who have too much time on their hands.

[Robertcw]

This is helpful. I may play around with this myself. But what do golds (chino color), silvers and grays communicate?

[Wowgirl30q]

Google it I'm not sure off hand 🙂

[skeetskeetskeet]

Those represent tacos, low riders and hairy greasy wops

[humanearth]

Back when I used to job bids for a construction company and went to interview the customer. I alway wore my blue shirt and my red tie.

When I wore that I got the job most of the time. My boss said I was the best he had.

So yeah color can work for your job as well.

I know about these secrets of color since high school.

Thanks for bringing back the memories

[Sensmind]

Very good take - Yes there are layers and layers of psychology going on at a subconscious level, it is fascinating sometimes to take a step back and think about it.

[worldscolide]

There is a lot of merit to this, the reason the film maker that made nightmare on elm Street, Freddy Kruger, red and green shirt is because it evokes strong emotion.

[CubsterShura]

I love wearing bright colors. It just has such a fresh and life-giving vibe!

[Iwillneverunderstand]

Interesting take you have here.
Pretty cool to know little fun facts of this sort

[Powderpuff97]

Color yellow makes me happy and it’s my favorite color

[ShadowofRegret]

I tend to wear a lot of black, blue and purple colors...

[TheDreamer21]

My go to color is blue. I noticed that when I do wear red, I feel more confident.

[Jjpayne]

It's a fun new way to look at colors and how we feel about them :)

[Wowgirl30q]

Thank you 💛

[DiegoO]

It's relative. Depending on your culture a specific colour can mean something different than what it would mean to another culture.

[lovedejj_xo]

Pink and black are my favorite colors depends on the day.
