Green
The color green is often associated with nature and rest. Green colors absorbed by the eyes don't need to be adjusted, therefore causing less stress. It's often referred to as the color of balance since it is neither warm nor cool. it is in the exact middle.
Blue
Blue symbolizes calmness, peace, and tranquility. This color also represents loyalty and productivity. though too much blue can be depressing. Blue colors may also cause you to loose your appetite.
Red
Red is a very powerful color. It shows courage, strength, and excitement. being near this color speeds up your metabolism making you more hungry. This make red a good color to use in restaurants. Red foods are also more appetizing.
Pink
Pink is a special color. Unlike any other color, red is the only one to have a separate name for its tints. Pink is soothing, nurturing. This color is more closely related to femininity and too much pink can be emasculating. It has also been said that pink is not even a real color. Some think that our eyes can't pick this particular light reflection, and our brains make up the color pink in order to see this light.
Orange
Orange is an interesting and beautiful color. Not only does it share its name with a fruit, but it can stimulate us both physically and emotionally. Since orange is made from yellow and red, it shares some of their characteristics along with its own. Orange is a fun, frivolous color, though too much can suggest a lack in seriousness.
Yellow
Yellow it the brightest color in the spectrum. yellow colors stimulate our brains and can make us more productive and active. Being around things that are yellow helps us be more creative and enlightened. Be careful when using yellow in decorating, too much can over stimulate our brains and cause us to loose our tempers
Purple
Purple symbolizes royalty and class. Back in early days, purple was the hardest color to make for dye. People used to make dye from berries and other natural resources, and it there aren't many natural things that can mix to make purple. So it made anything dyed purple super expensive, only the very wealthy could afford to wear purple products. Purple colors also symbolize romance and luxury.
Brown
Brown is the color of earth, it represents reliability and stability. brown is the color of the leather used to bind books, so brown by association also symbolizes wisdom. Also I'm sure if you think about it you'll notice that brown foods are more appetizing than other colored foods. One reason is that chocolate and meat are brown!
Colors help us understand the world better. Some colors can stimulate and make us productive, while others are calming and relaxing. It's important to find a good balance for all colors because too much of any one color can be overwhelming and can have the opposite from the desired effect.
