22 October is National Colour Day – a day to learn how colours influence our daily lives, mood, behaviour and productivity.
It is hard to imagine a world without any colour – filled with only black, white and shades of gray. Colour has been used to create feelings of coziness and spaciousness for a very long time, however the effect of different colour stimuli on people varies from person to person.
Different colours are perceived to mean different things, such as the following:
• Red – Excitement, love and strength
• Yellow – Competence and happiness
• Green – Good taste, envy and relaxation
• Blue – Corporate and high quality
• Pink – Sophistication and sincerity
• Violet/Purple – Authority and power
• Brown – Ruggedness
• Black – Grief and fear
• White – Happiness and purity
Celebrate National Colour Day by wearing something bright and colourful. Use #NationalColourDay to post photos on social media.
