What does blue do to you?

Colours can evoke different moods and feelings, and some research shows that colours can have psychological effects. I love blue. These months I almost only paint with the blues shades. Blues is not just blue. There are so many different tones. My favourites are the turquois and petrol blues shades. Colours can evoke different moods and feelings, and some research shows that colours can have psychological effects. Blue is a colour often found in nature as pale blue sky or the clear turquoise or dark blue of water. Maybe that is why people often describe the colour blue as calm and serene.

BLUE AS A BUSINESS COLOUR

Blue calls to mind feelings of serenity or calmness and is often described as peaceful, tranquil and orderly. It is a colour that is often seen as a sign of stability and reliability. Therefore the colour is very popular in some branches as logos and marketing efforts.

Blue is also often used to decorate offices because research has shown that people are more productive in blue rooms.
