RED
stimulates energy and can increase blood pressure, respiration, heartbeat, and pulse rate
YELLOW
stimulates the nervous system and activates memory. It also encourages communication.
GREEN
night vision goggles use the color green because the human eye is most sensitive to and able to discern the most shades in this color.....hmmm
BLUE
blue is the favored color choice for toothbrushes. It also aids intuition
PURPLE
Leonardo da Vinci believed the power of meditation increases 10 times when done in a purple light, as the purple light of stained glass
BLACK
self-confidence, power, strength
BROWN
stability, reliability, and approachability. It is the color of our earth and is associated with all things natural or organic
WHITE
projects purity, cleanliness, and neutrality. Doctors don white coats, brides traditionally were white gowns and a white picket fence surrounds a safe and happy home
GREY
timeless, practical, and solid. A longstanding favorite suit color, grey can mix well with any color. Although well liked and often worn, people rarely name gray as a favorite color possibly because Grey also is associated with loss or depression.
John Ruskin
"Of all God's gifts to the sighted man, color is holiest, the most divine, the most solemn."
Marie Rilke Rainer
"Painting is something that takes place among the colors, and one has to leave them alone completely, so that they can settle the matter among themselves. Their intercourse: this is the whole of painting. Whoever meddles, arranges, injects his human deliberation, his wit, his advocacy, his intellectual agility in any way, is already disturbing and clouding their activity."
Pablo Picasso
"Colors, like features, follow the changes of the emotions."
