Yes - there is actually a science to the psychology of color. Red raises our heartbeats, green soothes, pink calms, etc. I personally HATE being in an orange environment. It is supposed to be an aggrevating color and that is sooooo true in my case.
-
Yeah...I like to be around blues and greens.
-
Well.... I hate yellow. Does that count??
-
I like this question..what really makes my mood peaceful.. light blue (sea)
-
no but some where along the line a lot of people have been convinced that colour of places does effect moods, unLess of course it is your fave colour
-
Yes, and I think that colors affect everyone in some way. I went to the local nursing home to visit a family friend. When I walked in, my eyes were seared by the walls they had painted so garishly. Reds, yellows, blues and greens and orange..not the restful ones either. LOUD, bright, tacky colors. I was shocked that whoever had approved this did not seem to know how colors affected people. A month or two later, I went back and the walls were a nice, neutral beige.
-
Yes, it does. I cannot stand yellow or too many bright colors in one setting. I like soft colors.
-
Hmmm...I think it is more like, "does the color 'match' my mood"(?). I can be in a really cool, mellow mood and the colors of a place, whether a restaurant or club, can clash with that. They may be too "in my face", gaudy, etc. I have favorite places that I like when I am in a particular mood.

I don't like primal colours. Jade green is very nice.

It would seem so. One of the most interesting examples of color effects is Baker-Miller Pink - a color that's close to the bubble gum pink background color of this web page ( R:255, G:145, B:175) . Also known as :drunk tank pink," this color is used to calm violent prisoners in jails. Dr. Alexander Schauss, Ph.D., director of the American Institute for Biosocial Research in Tacoma Washington, was the first to report the suppression of angry, antagonistic, and anxiety ridden behavior among prisoners: "Even if a person tries to be angry or aggressive in the presence of pink, he can't. The heart muscles can’t race fast enough. It’s a tranquilizing color that saps your energy. Even the color-blind are tranquilized by pink rooms." (1) In spite of these powerful effects, there is substantial evidence that these reactions are short term. Once the body returns to a state of equilibrium, a prisoner may regress to an even more agitated state.

Very much. I don't like being surrounded by drabness like black or dull grays, I feel bad in light pink rooms. I like light and gem colors. They make me feel alive.
-
... most definitely ... depending on which color ... i.e., cool blues, lilacs and purples are very soothing and peaceful ... blah... blah... blah...
-
apparently yes they do. Not only does blue and green have a calming effect...I believe that McDonalds uses bright colours (reds,yellow, oranges) to make people want to eat and leave--like stimulate the appetite but don't block the chairs for a long time....A number of studies have been done by (advertising?) firms on this topic.

Yup, I like green. I think that's fairly common. I come from the North Atlantic people, and Ireland, even though not my ancestral roots, feels like home to me. So yes, the rich black earth, and green foliage, can make me feel a certain way. Colours matter.

Yes, it's a fact of psychology: http://www.infoplease.com/spot/colors1.html (Great question).

soft pink calms

Yes. I don't go into Target stores. All of that red makes me very irritated and edgy. I have found most colors have an effect on me to some degree. Sometimes so small that it is hardly noticeable.
