The Impact of Color on Mood

Color Psychology and Mood

Color psychology is the study of how different colors can elicit specific emotional responses. Various shades and tones carry different meanings and can evoke a range of emotions, from calming and soothing to energetic and uplifting. Understanding color psychology can help us harness the power of color to create desired feelings or atmospheres in our surroundings.

The Power of Bright Colors

Bright and vibrant colors have a particularly strong impact on our mood. Colors like magenta, sunshine yellow, and vivid blue have the ability to stimulate our senses and uplift our spirits. These colors are associated with energy, happiness, and positivity. By surrounding ourselves with these vibrant hues, we invite more joy and vitality into our lives.

The Story Behind "Color Me Happy"

Let's travel back to the early 1980s, where the story of Color Me Happy begins. At that time, I found myself flunking out of college and working at a homeless shelter called The Salvation Army in Laramie, Wyoming. The shelter, located above a thrift shop, was situated in a less-than-ideal neighborhood, right next to a set of railroad tracks. The atmosphere inside the shelter was equally bleak, with everything painted in drab institutional beige.
