THINKING OF PAINTING YOUR ROOMS....WHAT COLORS ARE BEST, AND WHAT DO THE SAY?
RED:
Increases energy and heart rate; creates excitement and stimulates the appetite. BEST FOR: Dining rooms
ORANGE:
Adds comfort, warmth and cheerfulness, but too much can bring about cautious feelings. BEST FOR: Living rooms & Family rooms.
YELLOW:
Brightens mood and promotes welcoming & joyful feelings, increases positive thinking. BEST FOR: Poorly lit foyers & Hallways. Buttery shades of yellow for living rooms.
GREEN:
Most restful color. Reduces nervous activity and muscular tension, calms and relaxes. BEST FOR: Living rooms (light green) and accent for kitchens and Dining rooms (mid tones)
BLUE:
Promotes calmness, security and cleanliness. Lowers blood pressure, cools a room and serves as an appetite suppressant. BEST FOR: Bedrooms or any peaceful area of the home.
PURPLE:
Boosts creativity and imagination, but can have unpleasant, subconscious responses. Many adults dislike purple walls, especially lighter shades, which are perceived as more youthful. BEST FOR: Children's bedrooms and play rooms.
Although people's color choices vary and are very personal, they don't have to be McDonald's yellow or Red Roof Inn red. A subtle tint or tone of those particular colors often create the warming effect buyers want in their homes.
