A. Millie has found an article about the relationship between colours and moods in a magazine. Here is the article. Find out what the different colours represent and how they influence us.
Colours and moods
Some people believe that colours can influence our moods. You may wonder whether it is true. In fact, colours can change our moods and make us feel happy or sad, energetic or sleepy. This article explains what colours can do and what characteristics they represent.
Calm colours Have you ever walked into a room and felt relaxed? It could be because the walls were painted blue. Blue is a calm colour. It brings peace to our mind and body. Blue can also represent sadness, so you may say "I'm feeling blue" when you are feeling sad. White is another calm colour. It is also the colour of purity. Many women like to wear white on their wedding day.
Warm colours Some colours, such as orange and yellow, can make you feel warm. People in cold areas prefer warm colours in their homes to create a warm and comfortable feeling.
Orange represents joy. It can cheer you up when you are feeling sad. Yellow is the colour of the sun, so it can remind you of a warm sunny day. Yellow is also the colour of wisdom. Some people prefer this colour when they hope for success.
Energetic colours When you feel tired or weak, you should wear energetic colours like green. Green can give you energy, as it is the colour of nature and represents new life. However, it is also the colour of envy, so we may say someone is "green with envy".
Strong colours If you require strength in either body or mind, red may be of some help to you. Red is the colour of heat. It represents power and strong feelings. Wearing red can also make it easier to take action. This may help when you are having difficulty making a decision.
Colours can influence our moods and make us feel happy or sad, energetic or sleepy. They represent different characteristics.
