Color Your World Happy!

Just imagine how drab life would be without color! Nothing around us but black and white and gray— wouldn’t such a world be depressing! Certain color names instantly and unmistakably express states of mind, emotion or health. "Blues" songs are sad…when you say you feel blue, everyone knows you’re not happy. If you’re in the pink, you’re blooming with health. You can be green with envy; turn red with rage or white with fright. When selecting a color scheme, test your colors by day and by night. Artificial light can make some colors appear totally different at night. Incandescent bulbs generally give a yellowish glow. While this may be flattering to warm colors, it an also create weird effects on cooler shades.
