Do you know anything interesting about colours? Did you know that colours can affect (影响) our moods? Colours can change our moods and make us feel happy or sad, energetic or sleepy. This report explains what colours can do and what characteristics (特征) they represent.
Calm colours
Have you ever walked into a room and felt relaxed? It could be because the walls were painted blue, a calm and peaceful colour.
Some colours make us feel calm and peaceful. Blue is one of these colours. Wearing blue clothes or sleeping in a blue room is good for our mind and body because this colour creates a feeling of harmony. Blue can also represent sadness, so you may say “I’m feeling blue” when you are feeling sad. White is another calm colour. It makes you feel calm and peaceful. You should wear white if you are feeling stressed. White is also the colour of purity. Many women like to be in white on their wedding day.
Warm colours
Some colours can make you feel warm. These colours can give you a happy and satisfied feeling. People living in cold climates prefer to use warm colours in their homes to create a warm and comfortable feeling there. They would rather use colours like orange or yellow than white or blue.
Orange represents joy. It can bring you success and 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 study for exams. For example, they may use yellow stationery.
Energetic colour
When you feel tired or weak, you should wear energetic colours, such as green. Green can give you energy, as it is the colour of nature and represent new life and growth. However, it is also the colour of envy. When we says someone is green with envy (妒忌), it means he or she is very jealous.
Strong colour
Anyone in need of physical or mental strength should wear red clothes. Red is the colour of heat and represents power and strong feelings. Wearing red can also make it easier for you to take action. This can help when you are having difficulty making a decision. 382words
