I was going through the BBC Homes website and came across this section about the psychology of colour. Before painting a room it’s useful to know what the colour means and what moods and feelings it creates.
I also found this on the internet - the psychology of colour in the Western culture (since some cultures can perceive colours differently)
Red: urgency, passion, heat, love, blood, excitement, strength, sex, passion, speed, danger
Yellow: warmth, sunshine, cheerfulness, happiness, cowardice, brightness
Blue: truth, dignity, power, coolness, melancholy, heaviness, trust, reliability, belonging, coolness
Orange: playfulness, warmth, vibrant
Green: nature, health, cheerfulness, environment, money, vegetation, nature, freshness, cool, growth, abundance
Purple: wealth, royalty, sophistication, intelligence, spirituality, dignity
Pink: softness, sweet, nurture, security
Black: sophistication, elegance, seduction, mystery, death, rebellion, strength, evil
White: purity, cleanliness, lightness, emptiness, virginity, clean, youth, mildness
