COLOR PSYCHOLOGY

The fascinating thing about color is that it’s such a powerful (yet subtle) tool that sometimes without even realizing it directly impacts our mood, our feelings + even our physical behaviors… oftentimes we don’t recognize it. You see, when we talk about the impacts color has on us, research has shown that cognitive conclusions (or feelings) about color are “often deeply personal and rooted in your own experiences or culture.” In other words, we have preconceived thoughts that immediately appear when we’re looking at a specific color. So, when it comes to Roy G. Biv we can all be a lil judgyyy :) If you’ve ever painted a wall before, you know how excruciatingly painful deciding the right color can be. What if it’s too light? Too dark? Too cool? Too warm? And the list goes on + on... How many times do you remember standing in the middle of the paint store thumbing through what feels like a trillion paint swatches while muttering things like, “eh...I don’t like that; mmm...I kind of like that one; or heck idk, they all look the same. I guess this one’s pretty good...” Boo, I get it. Choosing the right color is tricky. However, as your color confidant, I’m here to tell you that not all memories are created equally. You see, when it comes to coordinating + selecting paint colors, as much as we’d like to think those overwhelming feelings of frustration were caused by having too many options (or even the bad lighting) –– it’s not!

In fact those crazy feelings, that are often paralyzing, were actually triggered by an emotional memory or rather the emotional response that's associated with a previous encounter you had with similar colors. Crazy, right?

As early as 1890, the philosopher + psychologist William James suggested that emotional events leave “a scar upon the cerebral tissues.” To this day I can still recall a time when I was 8 years old. Peering out the window in the back seat of my parents car. Admiring all of the beautiful homes as we drove through a brand new neighborhood on our way to see a dear family friend of ours. As we pulled into their driveway, I slowly opened the car door + despite my excitement I couldn’t help but notice that a neighbor (who recently moved into the house across the street) had painted their house a glorious shade of toilet bowl blue! Yikes...now don’t get me wrong, I love me some turquoise, but living in the PNW this was a pretty bold statement. But needless to say, every time I flush a toilet + see that sparkling blue water in the toilet bowl I am eerily reminded of that moment.

Understanding how colors + emotions are so closely related, I’m curious then, what emotions does color potentially impact? To name a few: color has the ability to make us feel happy, comfortable, safe + peaceful but it also has the ability to create a sad, uncertain or even, as you gathered from my reminiscent story above, an uncomfortable feeling in a space. On a very basic level, warm color tones can tend to conjure up positive warm, fuzzy emotions like energetic, optimistic + joyful. Think about, if we wanted to create a sunny southern california vibe, what do you immediately envision (besides laying on a private beach with a good book + a tall glass of fruit infused water in hand)? You’re probably landing on colors with a warm tone like: taupe, yellow, pink, orange or even some shade of red. But, if our goal was to create a moody or masculine atmosphere for a powder room… now what colors come to mind? Probably not those same color tones from above. In fact, you’re probably going to immediately lean towards muted, saturated or dark colors. While cool tones tend to create a feeling of serenity, peacefulness + calm, selecting color options can be tricky. Here’s what I mean. Not all warm tones are bright, fully saturated, energetic colors. For instance, envision a soft pastel pink or yellow — still a happy evoking warm tone. Likewise, not all cool tones are dark, moody, sad tones. Instead, envision a soft grey or pale blue + I bet you’re overcome with a serene feeling of tranquility.
