Black: Sophisticated. Black is the absence of light and color. Use it as an accent color to sophisticate your room. Don’t get carried away, though, as too much black can be depressing.

Green: Balance. Green is found in the middle of the color spectrum and evokes feelings of balance within. Use it in a bedroom or kitchen to bring that balance to a place of comfort in your home. Use lighter shades to set apart the space from others in your home.

Purple: Spirituality. Purple takes our minds to deeper thought and allows us to think from within. Use it in a room where deep thought is invited or use a lighter shade to give the space a sense of relaxation and peacefulness.

White: Purity. White is clean and pure and creates a fresh feeling in any space. When used throughout a room white makes a space feel larger but as an accent can offer a sharp contrast.

Blue: Peaceful. Blue is the color of peace and calming and has been shown to lower our pulse rate and body temperature. Lighten or darken the shade to give your area a wide array of feeling and bring the calming nature into your home. Blue is most commonly used in the bedroom to release its full effects.

Brown: Warmth. Brown is the color most often found in nature and creates an earthy feel in the home. Used in spaces where we can utilize the comforting and soothing effects of brown.

Red: Energy. Red is energetic and passionate. Being the most stimulating of any color red gives off strong feelings and is best used in the dining room. Use lighter shades to tone down the effects in places throughout your home.
