Alright, folks. It’s time for another little lesson.
Well, lesson’s a biiiit of an odd term, but it’s pretty true here.
Let’s discuss color theory.
So color theory’s a known phenomenon within the brain that subtly influences thoughts based on what color we’re presented with.
Like for example, how almost every food place uses red as their main color?
That’s because red can subtly influence thoughts of hunger within the mind.
It’s how every time you go to eat fast food, there’s that little feeling, that little weakness that wants just a biiiit more food.
That’s color theory working against you.
Now, let’s talk about what would happen if color theory worked in your favor.
Like for example, blue is a color that calls upon thoughts of relaxation and focus.
It’s why you see so many places that focus on relaxation use blue as a highlight color.
You see, the way our brain detects colors and processes them as subtle feelings is something that’s just simply hardwired into our DNA.
There’s not a lot we all know about it yet, but we do know how it influences our brains.
Let’s call back on blue for a moment.
A deep and dark blue can remind you of the ocean.
The relaxing waves, the sounds of the water crashing against your mind.
The depths of the ocean that seem to draw you into their splendor.
That’s what I’m talking about.
And notice how the blues make you feel just a bit more relaxed when you read them?
That’s the power of color theory, dear.
And it gets crazier when we mix in colors.
Like a painter with a canvas, mixing colors creates new results.
Like if I wanted to combine the relaxing warmth of green and the deep focus that only blue can provide.
Because while blue is also relaxing, green is the color of nature.
Of the beauty that Mother Earth has blessed us with.
And those little thoughts create a deep warmth within, much like the primal relaxation we feel when we’re out in nature.
And mixing the focus and relaxation of blues together with the warm and deep comfort of green creates this beautifully mixed feeling of belonging and deep relaxation.
Where the two seem to perfectly mesh and perfectly wreck the brain.
Or let’s think about two more colors.
The dumb ditziness that pink provides, the color of the brain and yet the color of dreams and desires.
Mixing together like the dreamy design of cotton candy, the slow loss of thought once the pink starts up can shut off the mind.
But, there’s also an underlying arousal to pink. How it seems to knock the brain a bit loose and make it a bit happier in the process.
Because even if there are other feelings associated with red, we as humans see red as the color behind our deepest desires.
How it seems to etch permanently inside of us feelings of romantic resolve and pleasant passion.
And there’s always a deep desire within red.
A warmth that just won’t go away.
And if we combine red and pink?
Well, you get this ditzy desire.
This underlying, deep feeling of passion and persuasion.
A little arousal starting within the body as the brain gets dumber and the body gets hotter.
And it grows stronger as the colors mix and mix more and more.
Throwing in the deep shades of blue and green to deepen the feelings.
All mixing together on the beautiful canvas of the mind.
Don’t hesitate to reblog or comment, either.
I’d love to hear your thoughts.
Until next time, stay cool for me. ‘kay tiger?
