Color Psychology | Mental Health Day 2020 Colors evoke emotions which impact our mood & mental state. Color therapy is known to help people heal. It is also evident from the fact that we feel relaxed looking at green grass & feel calm looking at blue water. Brands have been using this tool of certain hues to attract a given demographic. So why don't we also use this heck for ourselves! Well, it is important to know the psychology of colors to find the right fit for yourself - 💜 Purple is mixture of blue & red, hence adds a depth of mystery, opulence and prestige. 💙 Blue is a calming color which also indicates intelligence & creativity. Blue elicits a soothing feeling. 💚 Green might be the best color to help calm your nerves.
