Whether it's the color of a room, the shade of a blouse or the hues of a painting, the mood changes are noticeable when closely observed. There are three color schemes that will affect people of various ages, gender and ethnic backgrounds towards different manners, such as colors that can increase excitement (red, yellow, orange) and colors which can be calming (blue, purple and green)and colors used as a part of therapy by psychologists.
One of the general color schemes that will affect people is red. Red is an energetic color that can cause people to feel excited and stirred to the point of raising blood pressure and heart rate. Red in rooms where people congregate, such as the living room or dining room, can stimulate conversation. Red is the color of passion. It evokes intense feelings like love or anger. If you are looking for passion in the bedroom, red is a great choice. But if painting your bedroom with red can cause difficulty with sleep because this color sets an exciting mood.
Another exciting color is yellow. Yellow is considered to be a "happy" color, and rooms painted yellow can evoke a feeling of joy or intensity. Yellow also can be unnerving, which is why most decorators discourage people from painting a baby's room yellow. It also speed metabolism. Orange is another exciting color, not well suited for a bedroom but great for a workout room.
One of color which can be calming is blue. Blue is a very calming color and can bring down the blood pressure and heart rate.

While dark blues can bring on or intensify feelings of sadness because too much dark blue can be depressing.
Others calming colors are green and purple. Green tends to make most people think of nature, since so much of the natural world is green and feel comfort. It's about connections with nature, or with our fellow humans. It's also good for general stress, since it can help balance emotions. Purple is cause calm, related to imagination, intuition, and insight. In some situations it can also be very peaceful.
Therapists have begun to include color therapy in their work, using color changes and images to bring patients into calmer or more animated states in which they can provide therapeutic assistance. They also help people understand how they react to various colors and offer advice accordingly. For example, on days when people are feeling down, they should wear yellow or red to help raise their moods.
As personal tastes are various, some individuals may be affected differently by some colors and it is wise to experiment with different hues and keep track of how they represent to your mood to find how "color therapy" can work for you.
