Creative Environments

I read somewhere that certain colors trigger certain responses in a0. humans brain. I'm a firm believer that the environment you're in plays a big role in the quality and the over all feel of a persons work. If you've ever been in a bright, vivid setting, you'll notice that you feel different depending on all the colors you see. This is because of the brains trigger and the connection to the color spectrum. If you don't believe me go, and check for yourself but for most peoples brains, the colors has the following effect on the brain and over all emotion.

Red - the first primary color of the spectrum. It emotionally triggers the sense of power, impulsively, sexuality and increases one's appetite. Be careful how you use red. It can also shout anger, forcefulness, impatience, intimidation, conquest, violence and revenge toward your site visitors.

Blue - The second primary color. It is the easiest color for the eyes to focus. It generates feelings of tranquility, love, acceptance, patience, understanding and cooperation. Its negative qualities if used inappropriately are fear, coldness, passivity and depression. Blue is a favorite color choice among all age groups.

Yellow - The third of the three primary colors. It triggers the following emotions: intelligence, joy, and organization. Its opposite effects when used in the wrong manner or with the wrong combination of other colors can create feelings of criticism, laziness, or cynicism. It's also the easiest to remember (that's why notepads and post-it notes are more than likely yellow).





Orange - a secondary color comprised of the primary colors, yellow and red. It emotionally triggers steadfastness, courage, confidence, friendliness, and cheerfulness. Its opposite effects are ignorance, inferiority, sluggishness and superiority. Orange is generally considered a social color but used in the wrong manner and with the wrong color combinations could create the opposite effects listed.

 


Green - a secondary color comprised of yellow and blue. It includes all the qualities of yellow and blue and the emotions it triggers depends on which of the two primary colors is dominate. Green triggers the following positive emotions: hope, growth, good health, freshness, soothing, sharing, and responsiveness. Its negative attributes are envy, greed, constriction, guilt, jealousy and disorder.






Purple - a secondary color comprised of the Primary colors, Red and Blue. It emotionally triggers intuition, imagination, Universal Flow, Meditation, wealth, and creativity. Purple is considered the color of royalty and is used to calm or relax the brain but used in the wrong manner could create opposite.
