Colorful Moods
By Jade Emerson

Ever since humans first harnessed the power to develop paint, color became a means of storytelling. Emotions were described in hues: green with envy, crying the blues, and red with passion. Studies have proven that color affects mood, hunger and energy levels. Thus, picking the perfect paint color for a home can do more than just transform a room — it can transform how a person feels. With the accent and painted walls trends, the options for bringing color — and its effects — into the home are limitless.
White, the color that reflects the most light, conveys clarity and purity. With its ability to brighten a room and present the illusion of taller ceilings, the color white creates the feeling of openness and peace.
CREAM, DOVE, PAPER Blue is known to be both calming and relaxing, making it the ideal color for rooms used to slow down both mind and body. Its meditative properties also allow the color blue to enhance clear thinking.
PACIFIC BLUE, POWDER BLUE, TEAL
The Effects of Paint Color Because of its ability to increase heart rate and brain activity, the color red is both intimate and passionate. For a bold refresh, opt for a red accent wall.
BURGUNDY, CORAL, CRIMSON
Evoking the natural motif of sunshine, yellow reflects happiness, working as both a mood booster and memory stimulator. Use yellow paint to brighten a darker area of the home or to add a spark of cheerfulness.
GOLD, SAFFRON, BUTTERCREAM Orange: Radiating both warmth and energy, orange is a stimulant for hunger and activity, making it ideal for a kitchen and other active spaces in a home. With a variety of shades and tones, orange perfectly blends into any style.
TERRACOTTA, MANDARIN, APRICOT
Green: Green helps control anxiety by creating a soft transition from the natural world into the home. Whether in the city or the country, bring the earthy hues of green indoors for a sense of renewal and refreshment.
