Whispers of Colors to the Subconscious Mind
Colors are a type of light product that carry a significant amount of energy. As our eyes are the organs that perceive colors, the images that enter through the retina have a functional impact on our body both mentally and emotionally.
Each color acts as a separate stimulant and the message that each one sends to our brain is unique. The psychology of colors plays a direct role in affecting people.
Studies have indicated that colors can influence brainwave activity, the functioning of the central nervous system, and hormonal responses in our bodies, as well as trigger a wide spectrum of emotions. This demonstrates that people’s response to colors involves both physiological and psychological reactions.
