Ever notice how certain colors make you feel?
From calming to invigorating and everything in between…while some just make you want to scream. Colors definitely have an effect on our mood. Maybe that’s why so many of us experience mood swings?
Remember the mood ring? Me neither. The ring apparently changed color depending on your mood. When it went black you knew you were in trouble. When it turned red you knew you were in love. I mean without wearing the ring how would you know how you felt?
Well now I’m poking fun. But really, I’m looking into the psychology of color more seriously now because I want to re-paint two of the rooms in my house. My bedroom walls because I have to, and my office space because I want to.
I’ve lived in the same house for 20 years now and in all that time I’ve only felt like changing the color in only one room – upstairs bathroom. It was a boring neutral beige tone and now it’s not. One wall in that bathroom is now turquoise but it works. I just found out that turquoise is associated with meanings of refreshment, feminine energy, sophistication, wisdom, serenity, wholeness, creativity, emotional balance, good luck, spiritual grounding, friendship, love, joy, tranquility, patience, intuition, and loyalty. Yes; I’m listening!
That’s a lot of explanation for one color. And to think that I only painted it that color because I came across a small can of paint in my garage and thought “I’ll try to use this somewhere – how about my bathroom?”
All the rooms in my place are painted in the colors of the landscape and design found in the Southwest desert. They’re all rich, warm tones. I never tire of them.
My office space is actually a reconverted closet. You would never know it unless I pointed that out. Then you’d look at it again and say “ah, now I see why you have such a small workspace.”
But it’s a really good use of space because when you think about it, you only need little space to put a desk with laptop and a printer, an always hungry paper shredder and few other items. That’s the room I want to now have fun with. Right now it’s a warm yellowish tone but I’ve recently been thinking of having it painted red, or somewhere in that spectrum.
When a spiritual sign appears in your life that is red, it usually represents that you are ready to take action on a new goal or project that you have been putting off. How about that? I’m ready.
I’ve been checking out color therapy too for ideas. Color therapy uses these powers of color to heal, energize, and soothe us. Let’s have fun with this.

LUSCHER COLOR TEST – It might be fun to take this test:
The Luscher color test is based on the assumption the unconscious colors’ choice often reflects a person’s focus on a certain activity, mood, the most stable personality traits, and the functional human state.
