22 October is National Colour Day – a day to learn how colours influence our daily lives, mood, behaviour and productivity.
It is hard to imagine a world without colour – a world with only black, white and shades of gray. Colour has been used to create feelings of cosiness and space for a very long time; however the affect of different colour stimuli on people varies from person to person.
Different colours are perceived to mean different things, like the following:
? Red – excitement, love and strength
? Yellow – competence and happiness
? Green – good taste, envy and relaxation
? Blue – corporate and high quality
? Pink – sophistication and sincerity
? Violet/ purple – authority and power
? Brown – ruggedness
? Black – grief and fear
? White – happiness and purity
To celebrate today wear some colour and use #NationalColourDay to post photos on social media.
