Get the Vibe. Melissa Perry Moraja
It gives people a feeling of calmness and peacefulness. It allows one to be perceived as open, reliable, credible and loyal. That’s the power behind color.
As I mentioned in the chapter called What is an Energy Vibe, color affects you because it is made up of energy. All the colors in your environment affect your emotional, mental and physical state. Let’s take an example. What is the color of your living room? How do you feel when you are in the room? Now take a moment and visualize all four walls of the room painted in a bright lime green color. In addition, visualize your furniture bright neon orange. How do you feel now? I’m sure you’re feeling a bit stimulated, excited, and perhaps even uncomfortable. In fact, you may even feel a headache coming on. These two colors would be a great color for a child’s playroom, but not for a living room or bedroom—two places where you would like to be able to relax and hangout in.
If you recall in the chapter called Get the Vibe! Principles one of the Principles stated, “Everything and everyone affects you and is affected by you.” The news, the phone call, the child that smiles at you in a store, the woman yelling at her boyfriend, and the music you listen to all impact your moods and mental state; and eventually will affect your physical well-being. Color is no different.
In fact, throughout history, color has been used to symbolize more than our emotional state. It is used to identify seasons, holidays, traditions, branding and ethnic background. Each country personally chose the colors of its country flag to communicate to the world who they are and what they represent. Each sports team carefully selected its team colors to again communicate to its fans and rivals who they are and what they represent. In art, it’s used to tell a story without words and without sound. In product design, it’s used to create a brand image for a specific product. In politics, color is used to identify various parties. Color has a voice of its own creating a certain feeling and aura with how it’s used and what it represents.
