How do colors affect you?

Look in your closet. What colors appeal to you the most right now, not from the past choices. Today's preferences.

What about the color you prefer for a car if you were buying a car now ?

In your house? Walls, carpets, furniture?

Are they all different in tone and intensity then they were when you brought them into your life? Why do you think you feel more comfortable with your choice of today's colors? Have you changed.

Please be brief because those of us with anxiety issues have problems focusing on too many words.

At the moment I am choosing neutral colours - white, beige, cream coupled with dark colours - black navy brown. No bright colours today!

Car neutral colour

Home light furniture with a splash of colour in carpet.

Used to like more colours and patterns.

Continue to pay attention to yourself and what works for you. Life is always changing us.

Concentrate on yourself to learn about yourself.

Bright colors can aggravate anxiety.

For most anxious people, dark clothing is a comfort zone. It can be a buffer for the depression. Soft tones are more helpful at different stages of the day.

Same with your environmental colors.

My favorite color of all time, for everything, is blue-green.

I also like different greens, browns, and a light peach color.
