The effect of colors on human life and mind



Colors can change people's behavior, which is also effective in people's characteristics and personalities.

Effects of colors in terms of psychology

Although the effect of colors is somewhat subjective and varies from person to person, some effects of colors have unique meanings worldwide. The colors in the red spectrum are known as warm colors, such as red, orange, pink, and yellow, which range from warm and sincere feelings to feelings of anger and rage.

And colors in the blue spectrum are called cool colors, which include blue, purple and green. These colors are usually soothing, but sometimes they create a feeling of sadness and indifference.

Psychology of colors as a treatment method

Colors were used for healing in some ancient cultures, including the Egyptians and Chinese. This work is still an alternative treatment method, sometimes called light therapy or color therapy.


In this method:

From red to stimulate the body and mind and increase concentration.

From yellow to stimulate the nerves,

From the orange Color to raise the energy level,

From blue Color to reduce pain and relieve the patient, and

Indigo color is used to relieve skin discomfort.

Most psychologists are skeptical about color therapy and say that the possible effects of colors are exaggerated and colors have different meanings in different cultures.

Research has shown that in many cases, the effects of colors in changing the state of people have a fleeting and temporary effect. For example, placing people in a blue room may initially make them feel relaxed, but this effect will gradually decrease after they regain their relaxation.

The psychological effect of Color on children

In the research, red, orange, yellow and blue are children's favorite colors, and gray, brown, black and white colors are never their favorite.

Babies also stare at bright colors such as yellow, white, pink and red, and as children grow up, their interest in yellow gradually decreases and red and blue take their place.

The exciting effect of colors on the human body and spirit



We all have experienced the effect of colors, whether we realize it or not.

Most psychologists agree that colors affect how we perceive certain situations. Some researchers believe that our brain inherently associates colors with emotions. On the other hand, some believe that the emotions we associate with each Color are acquired. For example, psychologists who have studied the Color red believe that most people associate it with danger.

This may be an available connection, but most psychologists believe that our brain interprets colors for a reason, and therefore each Color should affect us differently.

To what extent do colors affect learning?

Colors strengthen the power of learning.

Children learn faster when different colors are used in classes and educational materials, and information stays in their minds longer because 80% of the human brain receives information visually since colors are the sense of sight. They stimulate and improve, and strengthen the power of learning.


Children remember colors better than words.

Combining lesson materials with colors makes children remember information better. For example, to teach some things, we can use flashcards with a colored background so that each group of information is assigned a specific color, and flashcards with the same Color will be displayed. In this way, children remember colors more easily by matching colors with information.

The effect of colors on creativity

Colors inspire creativity and innovation and make students come up with new ideas. The use of colors not only helps in artistic designs but also stimulates creativity and innovation in writing stories and helps them to answer questions and be evaluated more efficiently.


The effect of colors in the home environment

Parents can also use colors at home to strengthen their children's sense of creativity and learning. It is better to start teaching your children from infancy, so why not consider a room full of different colors for your children from the very beginning?

The alertness and understanding of children with colorful rooms increase much faster than other children deprived of this possibility.


The effect of colors on adult learning

The effect of Color on learning is not only for children; colors also affect adults in several ways. Colors should be used in educational environments and university classrooms to help students learn better.

According to the results, the red Color makes people pay more attention to details, while the blue Color increases the creativity of the mind.
