Color Therapy

Put some color to change your mood!

Red
has strong symbolism as life and vitality. It brings focus to the essence of life and living with emphasis on survival. Red is also the color of passion and lust.

Wear a red accent piece when you want to present yourself as bold and dynamic. It can boost your confidence if you are attending a function or interview where you feel unsure of yourself.

Put some red in your life when you want:

• increased enthusiasm and interest
  
• more energy
  
• action and confidence to go after your dreams
  
• protection from fears and anxieties
  

Brown
gives a feeling of solidity, and allows one to stay in the background, unnoticed. Too much brown can make a dull effect. Some shades of brown create a warm, comfortable feeling of wholesomeness, naturalness and dependability.

Wear brown clothing if you want to show no direction or attitude in particular. Brown is a disguise that can be used to effectively hide your true nature. Prior to the introduction of denim, brown was the color worn by manual workers.

Put some brown in your life when you want:

• a solid wholesome feeling
  
• to blend with the background
  
• a connection with natural earth and the stability this brings
  
• orderliness and convention
  

Orange
offers a more thoughtful control than explosive red. Curiosity is a driving characteristic of orange, and with it comes exploration of new things.

Wearing orange during times of stress, or shock can help to balance your emotions. It can bring about the willingness to embrace new ideas with enjoyment and a sense of exploration and creative play.

Put some orange in your life when you want:

• to spice things up when you feel time is dragging
  
• to become more involved in something
  
• to increase creativity
  
• relief from things becoming too serious
  
  

Purple

is associated with imagination and inspiration. Wear purple when you want to encourage fantasy, mystery and imagination.

Put some Purple in your life when you want:

• to use your imagination to its fullest
  
• to re-balance your life
  
• to remove obstacles
  
• to calm over activity or to energize from depression
  

Wearing Black

Dress in black if you want to become inconspicuous. Black is also used in clothing to make a bold statement of mystery and self control. Black clothing can say "Notice me but do not intrude."

Put some black in your life when you want:

• to become inconspicuous
  
• to open the door to mystery
  
• to prepare for the unknown
  
• a restful emptiness
  

Yellow
symbolizes wisdom. Yellow means joy and happiness.

Wear yellow to present a cheery, uplifting effect. Use it around your office to help keep a clear your mind, and improve memory and decision making.

Put some yellow in your life when you want:

• clarity for decision-making
  
• relief from 'burnout', panic, nervousness, exhaustion
  
• sharper memory and concentration skills
  
• protection from lethargy and depression during dull weather
  

Blue
is the calming color. That makes it a wonderful color to use in the home, especially for babies. Blue is so soothing that is a good choice for pajamas. Dark blue is the color of truth and moderation.

Wear dark blues for a stable, calm conservative feeling. All shades of blue will help to make easy communication, whether it is with yourself or others. Use blue paper for notes when you want help in remembering a speech or other information.

Turquoise is the symbol of youth.

Aqua is the color of high ideals.

Put some blue in your life when you want:

• calm and relaxation to counteract chaos or agitation
  
• to open the flow of communication
  
• to broaden your perspective in learning new information
  
• solitude and peace
  

Wearing White

Wear white to impart a pure, wholesome impression. Surround yourself with white if your surroundings feel cluttered and you want to refresh your mind.
