What colors seem to boost your mood? What colors seem to calm you?

It might be an odd way to choose paint for my house🤷🏼‍♀️ But do you feel like colors subconsciously have an effect on your mood?

I really like Kelly green but would probably not put it on walls (it's just too intense to see everyday) maybe a really soft sunny yellow ?

Soft sunny yellow sounds like a good color for the mudroom or the Hallway heading out the back door to the back or even a bathroom.

Yes I do, have all my life. I love Red. It could be used as a trim. I am a big fan of yellow, it makes me think of sunshine and flowers. I like some pastels, mauve, apple green, I find them mellow and soothing. Years ago I took a class at night school on colors, I am Winter, the bold colors. With a touch of Spring.....When I had my house built I had it painted a light green with green blinds, so it would blend in with nature.....Thanks for asking.......Sprinkle 1......

Its my favorite color too! I just can’t paint the walls pink because I want to resell it soon.

Shades of blue like the ocean. Serenity for me. The time I spend there clears my head

tropical colors...especially the clear turquoise blue water of the south pacific.

Light blue calms me and red seems to upset me
