Do you feel ecstatic for no reason or down in dumps even if nothing wrong has happened? It might be the color you are wearing or your surroundings that might be affecting your mood.

Different colors have a different effect on your eyes and mind. This effect influences your mood to quite an extent. If you go to a funeral and see every one dressed in black, you might immediately feel somber and down even if the person who has died was just an acquaintance.

Go to a party and see people in shimmering, bright colors and immediately you might feel perked up even if you have had a bad day. Colors make up a vital part of environment and have a greater effect on you than you realize.

Black, blue and gray

Ever wondered why Goths wear black? Only dark colors can portray the truest, darkest, deepest feelings of a goth and so you see them dressed in blacks and grays. Blue is another color that you feel like wearing when you are low. Dull browns and grays come out of the closet when you are reluctant to go to work or when you feel you got up on the wrong side of the bed.

Red, orange and yellow

When you feel bold and courageous, immediately you find the red dress very appealing. When you go out shopping and you are feeling happy and risqué, you might pick up a bright orange or yellow dress for a particular party or event.

It might so happen that you might not feel as much bold when the event comes and instantly realize that you made a hasty decision. Red is also a fiery color, this is why painting all your walls (home or office) in red could be a wrong decision. It might make you lose your temper more easily.

Green, brown and pastel colors

If you wear earthy or pastel colors, you feel subdued and mature. You don’t take hasty decisions or lose your temper easily as you feel grounded and calm. If the walls of your office or house are painted in these colors, you feel relaxed and this why most offices are painted in earthy colors. If you are undecided about what to wear, earthy green and pastel pink and yellow are your safest choice.
