Psychological Effects of the Color Green

Use the psychological effects of the color green to create a gentle, relaxed feel for your home.

The psychological effects of the color green are similar to those of the color blue; green is perceived as calming and reassuring.
On a 'primitive' psychological level, the color green tells us that we are safe: In a fertile, water-rich environment, above freezing temperatures, there is enough to eat and we will survive. We can relax.
Green is a "feel good" color.
Green color is very easy on the eye, and nature keeps us entertained with an abundance of green hues, tints and shades.
However, using the color green in interior design is a bit of a challenge - green is one color that can really go wrong on walls and fabrics.
I think this is because the natural greens we have around us are never just one color. Even a small blade of grass contains several hues of green.
So if you can see trees and lawns from the window, a solid green wall color might look a bit fake by comparison.



One way to use the color green in interior design is to combine different hues of it, or combine the color green with other colors. (Check out these color combinations with shades of green!)
Sage, gray, pink and magenta go well together (think English country cottage garden). Or, you could combine greens with neutrals and blues for a 'coastal' look.
You could also try mixing a tiny bit of the complementary color, red, into your green paint. That mutes it slightly and adds complexity and depth.
Alternatively, you could tint it with white or light gray, or discolor it with some yellow or blue - these are all ways to utilize the psychological effects of the color green while avoiding the decorating pitfalls.
Lighting influences any color in interior design - colors change their 'personality' under different lights. So it's really important that you test any green paint you want to use thoroughly in every possible daylight situation and under artificial lighting.

Psychological Effects of the Color Yellow

Use the psychological effects of the color yellow to create a bright, optimistic feel for your home.

"Yellow never works", said a seasoned interior designer to me a little while ago. I'm not sure I agree!
However, the color yellow is definitely a force to be reckoned with. People respond strongly to it; they usually either love yellow or they hate it. Whatever you think of this color, you'll probably admit that ...
... Yellow can add a burst of sunshine to any room!
Yellow is often described as an optimistic, life-affirming color that reminds us of sunshine and stimulates our mind, body and emotions.
Some people also find that it helps them with concentration.
The effect of the color yellow obviously varies with its intensity and hue.
A pale, atmospheric tint of yellow on the walls or ceiling can add 'sunshine' to a room, while saturated, intense yellows might make you feel cranky after a while.



Because opinions about this color are so divided, I suggest you don't worry too much about how the color yellow affects others - unless you share a home with them, of course.
Your personal response to all things yellow will help you get the most out of this color. (Here are some ideas for yellow color combinations!)
You may not necessarily want it on a wall in your home, but there are other ways of utilizing the psychological effects of the color yellow.
For example, yellow makes for great "highlights".
You could use smaller doses of it in accessories, flowers, or pictures to brighten up darker areas and make them 'smile at you'.
