We often say that an optimist sees life through rose-tinted glasses, that somebody is “feeling blue” of they’re sad or that they’ve “seen red” if they’re angry. It’s a fact – colours play an important role in our daily lives. Some of them even have a specific effect on our body organs. Many practitioners use chromotherapy equipment to treat a sprain or to balance blood pressure. But did you know that each colour vibrates with a particular energy, and has the potential to influence our mood?

Mood and the power of colour

Red is a powerful colour, which can provoke anger or encourage creativity. Use with moderation!

White symbolises innocence. It’s a gentle colour, capable of promoting feelings of openness with others.

Blue is a cool colour, conducive to meditation. Just contemplate the sea or the sky to see how effective this colour is at freeing our bodies of tensions connected with stress.

Yellow is a dynamic colour, which tends to promote optimism, and favours concentration.

Pink is a feminine colour, which represents softness and romanticism. It eases pain and sadness.

Green is associated with nature. It brings inner peace, and helps deal with sleep disorders.

Orange is a warm colour, which tends to have a liberating effect on the mind.

Black is not associated only with sadness; it also represents status and elegance.

For the maximum feelgood factor, try blue to eliminate stress, go back to nature with green, concentrate with yellow, use orange to get rid of dark thoughts, and encourage your creativity with red!
