Perception of color has an individual character. This is the ability of the human eye to see the electromagnetic radiation of waves of a certain length, which has different properties of refraction, reflection and absorption. From the picture that our eye sends to the brain, the emotions experienced by us, our mood and health depend. There is a whole science - color science, which deals with these issues. It includes physics, psychology, physiology and studies the entire spectrum of existing shades, including blue. Color in psychology as a science is one of the main tools for studying the behavior of a person and his personal characteristics.
In addition to individual perception of color, there is its relationship with external conditions, traditions and foundations in the human society. The dark-blue color of the psychology of a Muslim will make us remember the transience of being. The Christian will take it as God's light, leading to truth. We often see blue domes with golden stars. In Buddhism, this denotes the center of the universe.
The same happens with other colors. In the northern part of China, red is a symbol of mourning, and in the southern part everything is vice versa. About the dreamer, we say that he sees the world in pink glasses, and associate the pessimist with black color. Our brides marry in white, to emphasize their innocence and purity, and in China, white is meanness and danger. The value of blue in the psychology of the people of our country also has a mixed assessment. On the one hand, it is reliability and thoroughness, on the other hand, folk sayings: "drank to blue", "blue from the cold," "burn everything with a blue flame" - point to the negative side.
The influence on the person or the perception of a color is successfully used in their projects by designers of clothes, decorators of premises, creators of advertising brochures and other representatives of selling professions. Warm colors, such as red, yellow, orange, are designed to encourage a person to own a particular thing, and therefore, to buy. These shades are aggressive, faster pulse and palpitations. But in banking institutions prefer a more relaxed palette, for example blue. In psychology for a long time this method is known, when the tone makes you favorably treat the interlocutor. He inspires you with confidence by his thoroughness, efficiency, and his words sound not crazy, but very reasoned. This effect is particularly noticeable in the elderly. Why does blue color in retired psychology play such a role? There is an explanation for this. They subconsciously remember the forms of civil servants of green and blue tones, which means that there is an association with the authorities, hence they conclude that they will not be deceived.
Nutritionists also began to use color therapy for their patients. Not only do they develop a menu for full-fledged and rational nutrition, they also advise what color dishes should be, from which we eat. Warm tones arouse appetite, this is useful for those who need a strengthened diet. The dishes, which have a blue color, will work differently in the psychology of the eater, he will quickly get enough and will not want to eat more. This is useful for losing weight. Even in nature, very few edible plants have a blue tinge. Designers of the premises offer it to be used in the bedrooms as a color that brings peace and tranquility. And in industrial buildings, it helps to focus and helps increase productivity.
No matter how we relate to this or that color, at the subconscious level, any of them has influence on us. Trust your intuition, it will tell you what color will bring good luck and good mood.
