The color green is closely linked to the environment, which can put you in a relaxed or refreshed mood. “There is some tentative evidence emerging in the literature showing that green is relaxing because it is associated with growth and nature,” says Elliot. Green also looks good on every skin type and has a wide range of shades that allow you to modify your mood — from serious and sophisticated to fresh and bright.

I think the color yellow increases my mood at work and stimulates my performance. I have a little yellow stuffed animal in my office that I look at when I'm grading papers or when I'm stuck in my research. Looking at it relaxes me.

Hi

I agree with you Dr. Barbara.

you answered clearly .

Colors exert great influences on our moods （color psychology/color therapy）. Cool colors give serene, restful and calm sensations while warm colors give some hot, energetic or celebrative sensations.

Thanks dear brother Prof. Salam for the great lessons on color via your important question. Best regards

Dear Dr. Salam,

I believe that there is no single best color to improve the performance, it’s likely because elements such as personal preference, upbringing, cultural differences, context, etc., often muddy the effect individual colors have on us. So the idea that colors such as white is  able to mouring emotions in some countriesand vice versa.

REGARDS

Nice comments by Dr.Barbara.

Hi

Colors are one of beautiful things in this life and they have an effect on nearly each body either posatively or negatively.

I like the white color because it refer to peace and clean

And I like the blue color because it is so quite color

And like green color because it's very quite and so beautiful color.

Also color refer to the high and difinit capability of Allah.

Regards

I have weakness about GREEN color of different varieties.

I don't know the reason.

Thanks.

This differ from person to person.

Certain shades are decent and whenever we see feel pleasant.

I like variety of colours in food, in clothes, in my classroom. Autumn is my favourite season, because it symbolizes the carnival of colours.

Some colours make me angry. Recently, the buildings on our campus are being painted in another colour. And there is an attempt to change the variety and achieve some uniformity. Driving on the campus makes me feel awful. And I just keep whining.

In fact, orange is the perfect substitute if you’re not comfortable seeing red. But the color is by no means ho-hum — orange evokes action. “Orange is much more of a casual, active color—it’s big in active wear—whereas red is much more sophisticated,” explains Harrington. The perky shade is your best bet when you want to rev yourself up so you can hit the gym or channel creativity for a work project. “Orange is said to stimulate enthusiasm and creativity,” says Mai. “It symbolizes vitality and endurance.”

Hello,

Current research on the issue of colors and their influence on human mood has revealed that various colors have different effects on human beings both mentally and physically. In general, we respond to colors on a conscious and sub- conscious levels so much so our health and the proper functioning of our immune system depends on them. In point of fact, chromotherapy, using color to balance the mood of overly stressed individuals, is now regarded as a strong stress management cure.By wearing the right colors, such people can find themselves feeling more relaxed. By wearing a variety of colorful clothes such as green , violet, blue, pink, etc. , we can experience a change of mood for the better because colors help us to connect with our surrounding world smilingly always feeling that good days are never far away.

Best regards,

Temperamental personalities can't wear bright- red, yellow, orange clothes. They are full of their own inner energy. Being a beam of energy I feel discomfort in red, that's why I prefer green, black, grey or pastel colours to harmonize the internal with the external.

One of the greatest scientists recommended, "Wear grey- the unique colour of the grey matter"

Dear Dr. Salam Jassim Hmood,

Interesting question! I prefer light colors as they seem energizing to me everywhere. Personally, I like to see everywhere in GREEN. It's the color of life.

Best,

effect so colors on your mood at work

Thank you for always asking the best color white, green, pink and purple

for me blue makes me more productive. I like to see blue everywhere.

I hope your life is as bright as your favorite color.

Colors act in three basic ways: active, passive and neutral. You can easily match every room’s colors to your personal desires, to your taste and to the room’s purpose. Light colors are expansive and airy, making rooms seem larger and brighter. Dark colors are sophisticated and warm; they give large rooms a more intimate appearance.

Red has been shown to raise blood pressure and speed respiration and heart rate.

Yellow captures the joy of sunshine and communicates happiness. It is an excellent choice for kitchens, dining rooms and bathrooms, where it is energizing and uplifting. In halls, entries and small spaces, yellow can feel expansive and welcoming.

Blue is said to bring down blood pressure and slow respiration and heart rate. That is why it is considered calming, relaxing and serene, and it is often recommended for bedrooms and bathrooms.

Green is considered the most restful color for the eye. Combining the refreshing quality of blue and the cheerfulness of yellow, green is suited for almost any room on the house. In the kitchen, green cools things down; in a family room or living room.

How can anyone compete with Barbara's compehensive thesis? Also Mohamed's graphic is quite revealing! It would be interesting to see how a color blind person reacts to that.

Since you asked about colors in the street in the morning, Salam, let me answer that I especially like the colors at sunrise and sunset. For some reason, they are both very relaxing, and hold much promise for what is to come. Imagine a nice, warm, orange sunset in Tuscany, with cypress trees and green, rolling hills, and a winding, tree-lined, country road. Talk about promise!

Our senses certainly affect our mood. Color is one, but sound, taste, feel, all have an impact on our mood.

Its dependent ,,but the firm truth is that our life without colors have no mean ,, Best regsards ,, Jawad Ali

I think that light (neutral) colors like beige - stimulate my performance.

I like light colors to surround me always.

I wasn't imagine that I will recieve these outstanding contributions from you Drs, Esraa T. Al-Azawee , Sheela Sobana Rani , Leonid V Vladimirov , Jawad Ali , Albert Manfredi ,

Color can have a direct impact on our mental states. My favorite colors are warm colors, especially orange, which can transmit positive energy like the sun.

I agree and recommend the answer of Dr. Barbara Sawicka

Dear Dr.Pardis Hafez Taghva

Thanks for valued addition

You are welcomed dear colleague

A lot of color make me feeling angry

Psychologists feel that color impacts us at a deep, subconscious level.

White: is an absolute ‘no no’ for office walls.  It’s too sterile and it reminds us of things such as hospitals and clinical offices. Not fun places to be.  These feelings cause us to be uneasy and distracted.

Blue: is a calming, soothing color and may reduce stress and heart rates. It’s also a good color to promote creative thinking.  It’s reflected in nature with blue skies inspiring the saying ‘Blue sky thinking’.  Blue would be a good color for your office if you want to keep the mood calm and creative.

Red: is a strong, passionate color. While it can stimulate the brain and productivity, unfortunately it can also stimulate aggression.  If you want to create an atmosphere of energetic, fast paced work, this would be a good choice. However, it’s probably best to limit it to an accent color rather than painting your entire office red.

Yellow: reflects light, it’s bright and it stimulates optimism and energy. Being a strong color, it’s probably best to use as an accent. An entirely yellow office could be a bit too much stimulation!

Green: is relaxing and welcoming. Green and blue are the most common colors in nature so you know that they are both good for us humans.  Both promote a feeling of safety, comfort and peace.  They’re great colors for areas where you need to do individual work that requires a lot of focused attention and concentration.

Greige: is a very popular interior color right now.  It’s a warm grey or a cool beige – depending on the shade and your point of view.  This is often used as the ‘go to’ color when you want to play it safe, yet still look trendy.  However, unless teamed with attractive accent colors, beige is boring and research indicates that grey tends to lead to irritation and bad tempers, it might not be the wisest office color choice.

Of course, each of these colors comes in a myriad of shades and combinations.  The ideal office situation is when you can designate different areas for different functions and paint them accordingly.

That way, you can use a particular colored space to evoke specific types of behaviors.  An important consideration is the type of business you have and whether you have clients visiting or not.  If you are in financial services, you might want to consider using various blues in your reception areas and client meeting rooms.  Blues and greens would also work well in the ‘number crunching’ areas, while more stimulating colors could be used in collaborative spaces.

If yours is a creative services organization, you’d be more inclined to use bright, lively accent colors that stimulate creativity and collaboration.

The great thing about color is that when it’s used on the walls, it’s easy and cost-effective to change things up if you find your choice isn’t working as planned.  It’s often easier and safer to keep your hard furnishings neutral and experiment with accents.
