Color Your World
Why are spas blue? Why do restaurants decorate with red? Why are
legal pads yellow? (Blue is relaxing, red is stimulating, and
yellow-while unnerving in large doses-helps us concentrate better.)
For an instant mood booster, dress up your white walls or beige
blouse with a splash of color.
Get cool. Blues, lavenders and greens calm your senses.
Why do you think celebs sit in a "green room" before they go
onstage?
Go warm. Reds, oranges and yellows excite and
stimulate. Try displaying a bowl of fresh lemons or tossing orange
throw pillows onto your sofa. Feeling more daring? Paint your
kitchen cabinets fire-engine red.
Wear your color. Whether you don a fuchsia scarf
(fun!), a red dress (sexy!) or a black suit (in control!), the
color you wear sends a message about who you are.
