Mama Aliaa @ Kak Ya: Psychology of Colors (in House)

I think you must have heard about the power or the aura of colors in our life? Well, I do believe that these colors play apart in creating mood and expressing emotions. Rumah I sekarang pun ada byk2 color so did our old house (apartment). Tapi in different context la. Kat apartment, the colors are more on the wall paintings but the new house, the colors are mor thru furnitures and others. Lets take a look of the psychology of colors here.. Manalah tau boleh ambik idea I ni kalau nak menghias rumah or sebagai..

RED

True red is the most vibrant, compelling colour in the spectrum, expressing excitement, speed, power, joy, danger and passion.

- Red attracts immediate attention and brings objects or images to the foreground.

- Red makes people feel warm. Coffee will seem hotter in a red cup than in a blue one.

- Red is the first colour you lose sight of at twilight and is not well seen at a great distance.

- Barn, claret, and crimson reds are considered regal, exclusive, and strong and have great appeal for men.
