Have you ever thought about what attracts you to certain colours or patterns? Are you a person that wants to chase that rainbow or admire its beauty? Or do you prefer darker hues?
Well our Paint Plot Paint by Number and Diamond Painting enthusiasts; if the colour of psychology is something that interests you, please read on.
Have a look around at your current décor. It may be great, or some adjustment could be just what you need.
Preferences for light, warm or darker colours it is often a very individual choice. Your feelings and reaction to colour are often personal or embedded into your psyche, due to your own experiences throughout life, or due to our cultural upbringing.
An example of this would be the colour white. In Western society white is considered a symbol of purity or innocence. However, in many Eastern countries it is considered a symbol of mourning.
What is colour psychology? According to Wikipedia it is the study of hues as a determinant of human behaviour.
There’s not an abundance of research available to substantiate which colours are calming to a person or which colours evoke different emotions in individuals, because everyone is different and here at Paint Plot, we believe these differences are part of what makes us incredible as humans.
You wouldn’t believe the vast contrasts we see in individual votes during our weekly Wednesday Vote. Some people love certain styles and some people do not.
We can, however, take a look at a generalised indicator of which hues are perhaps healing and calming or others that are exciting and fun.
Let’s have a look at 5 basic colours, in relation to Paint Plot’s paint by number kits.
