Do you want your home to feel refreshing, joyful, or relaxing? No matter your vibe, there’s an emotion-evoking paint colour to match.
Studies have shown that colours directly affect our thoughts and emotions. Although the cause hasn’t been entirely determined, psychologists believe it may relate to survival instincts. In nature, colour can indicate things we should avoid, the things we can eat, and the places we can rest. So really, the effects we feel when we view colour make a heap of sense.
