Creativity and Color

In talking about the Creative Self, I feel that I need to expand on the artistic part of myself. One of the topics I speak about is Color Therapy. There are several books written about color therapy and its uses. I want to give you a brief summary of some of the colors and their meanings.

We choose colors based on how they make us feel.  Colors can lift one’s spirit, increase one’s sense of well-being, and, at times, create agitation or anxiety. Colors can create a serene setting to live in. Where does color come from? Color exists in your mind, and is a non-verbal communication. They create a physical and emotional reaction.

Warm Colors such as       Red:    bring feelings of love, passion, heart, joy and                                                       power

                        Pink: bring feelings of sweet, nice, romance, playful                                               and delicate.

                                       Yellow: bring feelings of happy, joy, cheer,                                                                         and remembrance.

                                     Gold: bring feelings of wealth, extravagance, bright,                                                     and tradition.

                                     Orange: bring feelings of energy, warmth, change and                                                       health.

Cool Colors such as         Blue: bring feelings of strength, importance, peace,                                                      and intelligence.

                                     Green: bring feelings of growth, health, harmony and                                                    environment.

 

These adjectives to describe the colors come from our cultural meaning given to the particular color.  We also can have negative feelings associated with color.  In our lives, we can become aware of who we are through color.

Colors affect us inside, we see it all around us, especially in nature.
