The Power of Colour #IndiaNEWS #National ,IANS Life
By N. Lothungbeni HumtsoeNew Delhi, July 17 (IANSlife) Upon entering a space, we are instantly overpowered by feelings. Sometimes a sense of serenity washes over us and sometimes we feel ready to take on the world. At the same time, some spaces can intimidate us while others can inspire us. The interior design of the space dictates the mood for the room and the people in it. One of the most critical components that help set the tone for any space is colour.
Interior designers are akin to artists. When they splash colours on a blank canvas, they invoke a wide spectrum of emotions in us. Have you ever wondered why the paint on the wall, the hues of furniture and the floor colour make such a great impact on our minds and emotions? From plush pastels to vivid neon to calming whites, the human mind perceives each colour distinctly. As a result, different colours evoke different emotional responses.
What is colour psychology?
In interior design, colour psychology is the school of thought that gives precedence to colours as a mechanism for creating a specific ambience and mood. Based on the colour theory, each colour affects a persons mood, cognitive functions, productivity and creativity. Colour psychology ascribes different emotions to each colour and interior designers influence their impact with different tints, tones and saturation. Each hue is chosen meticulously to invoke specific emotional responses in people.
Colours are now being used even more emotively, irrespective of hue harmonies or rules. The power of colours, be it in apparel, decor or facades is huge as they have a direct influence on a persons psychology. Colour psychology is concerned with the ability of colours to evoke different emotions within us and how we might use them to achieve the desired atmosphere or inspire a behaviour inside the interior. Nowadays, artists and designers appear to be breaking colour boundaries more than ever before, elaborated Nihal Kalra, CEO and Co-Founder of The Decor Kart.
Role of different colours
To understand the role different colours play in interior design, we can divide them into three categories: warm, cool and neutral. Warm colours like red, yellow and brown tend to be vibrant, exciting and strong. These colours can be used as accent colours for focal points in the space to inspire social activity, interaction and optimism. On the other hand, cool colours like blue, green and purple evoke a sense of calmness, serenity and deep thinking. Neutral colours like white, grey, beige and black are flexible and give a sense of space, harmony and elegance.
Colour psychology is used in interior design to emphasise allure. Colours unquestioningly have shades of meaning for every one of us.
