Color Profiles for Handyman Painting

Yellow. Yellow, the color of the sun, is an energetic color that can lift the spirits and warm a room. It can also enhance concentration and speed metabolism. While it’s associated with happiness, yellow is also disturbing when overused. Studies have shown that people lose their tempers and babies cry more often in yellow rooms.

Blue. Considered the most relaxing color in the spectrum, blue causes the body to release tension. But it can also create a sense of formality and be cold or even depressing. Blue has been found to be an appetite suppressant, so it should be used only as an accent in areas where you prepare or serve food.
Painted a vivid yellow, the all contrasts with adjacent white surfaces to magnify the room’s sunlit quality. Always clean and refreshing, aqua reflects the calming influence of blue. A range of blues creates a tranquil bedroom, highlighted by white furniture and trim.

Green. The easiest color on the eye, green is both calming and refreshing, providing a feeling of renewal and harmony. It has also been associated with feelings of safety. It is more versatile than blue because it is a blend of warm and cool colors (yellow and blue). One of the basic hues of nature, green is effective in almost any room, but particularly appropriate in kitchens and dining rooms.

Violet. Like green, violet mixes warm and cool colors. It combines the calming effect of blue with the energy of red. Violet is associated with royalty and luxury, but – perhaps because it is rare in nature – it can feel artificial. It is the favorite color of many young children.

White. Although white is non-color, it does impart a specific mood of cleanness, purity, and innocence. White reflects all light and is a good choice for rooms with odd or irregular features, because minor flaws will nearly disappear in the absence of color. For anyone who finds imperfections stressful, this can have a direct effect on mood.
