Research project in psychology "The meaning of color in human life" Project author: Anna Kulikova, 7th grade student Head: Voronova E.E., pedagogical psychologist, MBOU "Gavrilovskaya sosh" d. Gavrilovka 2014

Introduction From our very birth until the very last day of our lives, we are accompanied by various colors. We see them every day and do not try to focus our attention on this constantly. We choose beautiful colored clothes, furniture, interior, and much more, just on the basis of understanding “like - not like”. We don’t even notice how colors affect our life, our behavior, mood, and character every day. Color is a mysterious phenomenon. Even in a dream and with our eyes closed, we do not stop seeing colors. Color is the source of many paradoxes of thinking. By the way, the main postulate of the council of doctors at the court of the ancient Chinese emperors is interesting. This one of the most ancient laws said: all shades of red are responsible for the physical health of the body, blue tones help to "tune" the mind, yellow gamma is responsible for the state of mind. I really want to analyze the choice and preference of colors for people of different ages. Therefore, I chose the theme "Color in human life." Throughout the study, we learn the relationship between color and the emotional state of a person, as well as the effect of a person's age on color choice.

Objective: to study the influence of color on the behavior and emotional state of a person, the influence of age-related characteristics on the preference of a particular color. Research objectives: To study the theoretical basis of the issue. To study the priority color in people of different ages. To study the relationship of a person’s emotional state and color preferences. To develop recommendations for the use of colors in clothing and interior design. Research methods: literature study, analysis of various sources, observation, questionnaires, synthesis, experiment. Object of study: color gamut. Research hypotheses: each age level has a preference for a particular color, color affects the behavior and emotional state of a person.

Color in human life. Color impact. It is rare that any of us thinks about what role color plays in life, but not only our perception of the world, but also our mood depends on it. Do you want to be in harmony with yourself and the world? Colors can have physical and mental effects. Indeed, our life is unthinkable without the richness and charm of color forms. Color is able to please and upset; it can affect our well-being and ability to work. Green revives the thought of the refreshing effects of nature. The blue color, perhaps, causes us the idea associated with touching cold water, breathing in the dark night. The effect of color is quite strong and spontaneous only if it is the result of intellectual interpretation. Parents infrequently penetrate the saturation of colors in the drawings of children, and therefore lose control over the emotional experiences of the child, which subsequently develop into neurosis, negativity, unwillingness to learn, and later live with someone. Detect and resolve the conflict in the soul of the child will help the most ordinary drawing. Most often, psychologists use it for correction. Moreover, this happens both in schools and in special institutions. Drawing, according to psychologist Oksana Litvinenko, also helps an adult. Therefore, draw more often, especially after nervous excitement. This is much more effective than sedative tranquilizers. And if you see in your works thick brushstrokes of dark colors, especially gray, black, dark brown, - destroy such drawings (burn), as if cutting off everything bad from your "I".

Characteristics of the color gamut The perception of colors and shades can be compared with the musician tuning his instrument. All shades are capable of evoking elusive responses and moods in a person’s soul, which is why he seeks the resonance of color wave vibrations with the internal echoes of his soul. There are 2 main groups into which colors are divided. These are the colors of the Warm gamut, and the colors of the Cold gamut. The warm range is: Red, yellow, orange, brown and all their shades, as you know. They create a feeling of coziness, comfort, relaxation, peace among those who look at them or wear them, cause a feeling of intimacy, emotional attraction. Cold tones, which include all shades of blue, blue, green, violet, gray, make us be more collected and more active. But at the same time, they can cause a feeling of distance, closedness, detachment among the people around you. Characterization of colors Since time immemorial, when a person gained the ability to perceive the beauty of the world around him, his attention was riveted to the magic of color.

Red People from antiquity have been particularly addicted to red. In many languages, the same word denotes red color and in general everything is beautiful, beautiful. For Polynesians, the word red is synonymous with the word beloved. In China, a “red heart” speaks of a sincere, frank person, while the heart of a wicked, insidious person is black. Red is primarily associated with blood and fire. Its symbolic meanings are very diverse and contradictory. Red symbolizes joy, beauty, love and fullness of life, and on the other hand - enmity, revenge, war, is associated with aggressiveness and carnal desires. Red is the main heraldic color. On the banners, it symbolizes rebellion, revolution, struggle, independence. Red encourages people to make quick decisions. The red color also fills with energy and courage, gives a feeling of strength, thanks to which it is possible to fulfill the intended. This is why politicians often wear red ties, especially before the presidential election. Red evokes strong emotions, including passion. But in the home decor, restrictions are imposed on red: use it only in those rooms in which you are going to work or spend time in conversations, in living rooms (if you use red for the dining room, be prepared for what guests will eat twice as much). Red is preferable for walk-through rooms where you do not need to spend much time - in the halls and corridors. In the nursery, it can lead to insomnia. Red captures attention and puts objects painted in it in the foreground. Red is the first color that you lose sight of at dusk; it is not distinguishable over long distances.

White White color symbolizes purity, spotlessness, innocence, virtue, joy. It is associated with daylight and celestial bodies, as well as with the producing force that is embodied in milk and an egg. The whiteness is associated with the idea of \u200b\u200bthe generally accepted, legal, true. In the Christian tradition, white denotes kinship with the divine light. In white, angels, saints and the righteous are depicted. White color is associated with purity, innocence, virtue and fidelity. No wonder he is popular at weddings. Before the advent of washing machines, only wealthy people could afford white clothes. It was understood that a man in white clothing has a high social position - he does not have to do dirty manual labor. White color symbolizes truth and justice. From childhood we know that the “knight in white” will always come to the rescue. White is the color of innocence and purity. Among Slavic peoples, white color symbolizes sincerity, purity of soul and thoughts. People who are attracted to white are constantly in search of themselves and strive for excellence.

Black Black color symbolizes unhappiness, grief, mourning, the death of everything that moves and breathes. Black is associated with darkness and earth and is a genuine emblem of everything hidden, secret and unknown. For many nations, blackness is associated with night, and night with evil and witchcraft. At night, human life is most at risk. If a black tie is indicated at the invitations to the reception, this emphasizes the importance of the event and the information is transmitted that the costume should be strict, since the meeting will be official. Black color is authoritarian and in large doses can give the impression of aggressiveness. Black is considered conservative and respectable. It seems to people that black figures weigh more than the same white figures.

Yellow Psychologists say that yellow is the happiest color in the spectrum; it inspires optimism and joy. Association with the sun gives yellow a special aura, denotes wisdom, intelligence, imagination, a tendency to spontaneity. Yellow color is instantly recorded by the brain, stimulating its work and nervous system. A high degree of yellow visibility promotes quick, clear thinking. Yellow “enlivens” other colors, turning hot colors into dazzling and bringing cool colors back to life. That is why this color is a favorite in the home interior, filling any room with warmth and light. The most common use of yellow is in the kitchen and in the dining room - it helps to increase appetite. In small doses, yellow color creates a happy atmosphere for friendly conversations, however, prolonged proximity to bright lemon color can cause brain excitement and anxiety. Yellow is the happiest color, it represents warmth, optimism and joy. Yellow actively protrudes into space, and therefore is considered the most noticeable color; It is preferred for road signs and various kinds of packaging. Yellow color stimulates clear thinking. Yellow activates other colors, making the hot colors shine and revitalizing cool colors. The abundance of yellow can tire. His muffled tones favor communication, and golden ones are associated with the idea of \u200b\u200bwealth. Yellow, as a symbol of the sun, relieves stress and gives hope. A stream of yellow light symbolizes warmth and comfort and strengthens nerves.

Blue Blue is the color of the sky and the sea. It combines some kind of contradiction of excitement and peace, causes a feeling of cold and reminds of a shadow. The blue surface seems to be moving away from the person, captivating the eye in depth. For many nations, the blue color symbolized the sky and eternity. In Christian culture, he is associated with incomprehensible secrets, with eternal divine truth. For romantics, the blue color of dreams and longing for an unearthly ideal. Blue can also symbolize kindness, fidelity, constancy, disposition, and in the language of heraldry denotes chastity, honesty, good glory and fidelity. "Blue Blood" speaks of a noble birth. If blue is your favorite color, then you are from a good company. Blue is the most favorite of all colors. Indeed, if you look closely at the blue color, then this leads to a decrease in the pulse rate and respiration and for some time lowers blood pressure. Before the invention of refrigerators, when food was stored in kitchens and pantries, these rooms were painted in cobalt color to repel insects, which, as noted, avoid blue. Blue color in the kitchens is popular in our time. During an election campaign, politicians often wear blue costumes in order to inspire confidence. Bright blue colors are ideal for outfits that you can wear at a party or social event, in which case you will get all the latest gossip, because you will be more frank with you than with others. Dark blue tones correlate with high social status, stability and dignity ..

Green Green is the color of grass and leaves. Many nations symbolized youth, hope and fun, although at times immaturity and insufficient perfection. Green is extremely material and has a calming effect, but it can also make a depressing impression (it is not by chance that melancholy is called "green", but the person himself turns green from anger). This color is associated with ideas about life and growth, is considered relaxing, has healing properties, the ability to soothe and refresh. The more muted the green color, the higher its calming properties. This is one of the reasons why the walls of hospitals are painted in the colors of sea foam. Saturated green is the color of mature trees, tall and steady. This color is often found in the offices of lawyers and financiers. And in general, this is the color of money! The olive color is associated with power, it is used by the military, while the color of green grass evokes an idea of \u200b\u200bnew life and growth, symbolizes fertility. Shades of green can be harmoniously used in home decor. Bright green will bring to the house a sense of the pulse of natural, natural, life and will "open" the interior to the park surrounding the house. The green colors are refreshing, which makes them indispensable in the kitchens. The pale green color gives the feeling of a pleasant clear feeling; it is ideal in the nooks of the house - in the bathrooms and bedrooms. The green color combines humility, sophistication and a sense of antiseptic purity, so it is used in the decoration of resorts. Shades of green give a feeling of purity and freshness, they are especially popular on boxes for cosmetics. In general, goods in green packaging are perceived as environmentally friendly. Pale green is a calming and relaxing color. It helps to improve vision. Dark green colors are associated with stability and growth. Throughout the world, green is a symbol of security. Therefore, it is adopted to indicate the beginning of traffic at traffic lights. People who prefer green, reliable and generous. Green is the color of hope, naturalness and freshness. Green color calms, and its abundance can cause depression, "melancholy green." Green lovers are modest, restrained, patient and not inclined to a violent manifestation of their feelings.

Experimental work Stages of research 1. At the beginning of my research work, I found and studied material on the meaning of colors, their characteristics and the effect of color on the emotional state and behavior of people. 2. Then I decided to test my hypothesis that each age level has a preference for a certain color. For this, a questionnaire was conducted among primary school students, younger adolescents, students in older teens and youth, and school teachers. The study involved: - students of primary school age (7-10 years) - 15 hours - younger adolescents (11-14 years) - 15 hours - older teens and youths (15-18 years) - 15 hours - adults from 30 to 45 years - 15 hours

Primary students prefer red and blue-blue colors. Red expresses vitality, activity, means all kinds of inclinations and aspirations to get results and achieve success, impulsiveness, the will to win. Blue means complete tranquility, contentment, peace. He personifies the bonds by which a person connects himself with others; association, a sense of community. Red - blue - harmony and activity in cooperation, emotional satisfaction, cooperation and mutual understanding for the good of creation.

Middle school students prefer blue and black. Blue means complete tranquility, contentment, peace. He personifies the bonds by which a person connects himself with others; association, a sense of community. Black always hides in himself everything that carries; he is "mysterious." He is associated with curiosity, he attracts to himself, scares. Black color always challenges a person to try to free his essence, that is, a person must go through black in order to know how much white is in it.

High school students prefer red and black colors. Red color represents power; he always achieves what he wants. He is always in motion, always a source of energy. It symbolizes passion, excites passion, i.e. passionately loves, passionately hates and passionately believes. He is characterized by maximum feelings. Black always hides in himself everything that carries; he is "mysterious." He is associated with curiosity, he attracts to himself, scares. Black color always challenges a person to try to free his essence, that is, a person must go through black in order to know how much white is in it. Red-black - dramatization, impulsive excessive desires.

Teachers of the Gavrilov school prefer blue (and shades of blue) and red (and shades of red). People who prefer the blue color, try to put everything in order, systematize. They always have their own point of view; devoted to what they are doing. The blue color is constancy, perseverance, perseverance, devotion, dedication, seriousness, severity. Red expresses vitality, activity, means all kinds of inclinations and aspirations to get results and achieve success, impulsiveness, the will to win. Conclusion: my hypothesis that each age level has a preference for a certain color turned out to be true and the color characteristic confirms this.

Conclusions: 1. A study of the relevant literature showed that each color has its own symbolism and its own psychological characteristics. Green is the color of hope, naturalness and freshness. Green color calms, and its abundance can cause depression, "melancholy green." White is the color of innocence and purity. People who are attracted to white are constantly in search of themselves and strive for excellence. Black is the color of mystery, sadness, evil and death. Dressing in black is preferred by creative individuals, philosophers of life. Yellow color excites and creates a good mood. People who are attracted to yellow are open to everything new. They have good analytical skills and a sharp mind. Blue calms, cools, relaxes and pacifies. The love of blue speaks of conscience and honesty. Red is the color of life, joy, strength and health. People who prefer red are impulsive, energetic - these are true lovers of discussion and debate. 2. Depending on age, each person prefers a certain color: Primary school students - red, blue, which indicates the activity of this age and the desire to achieve success. Younger teens - blue and black, means a sense of community and contradiction, the desire to know everything unknown. Older adolescents and youths are red and black, which indicates the dramatic and impulsive nature of this age. Adult people (teachers) are blue and red, which indicates the presence of their point of view on everything that surrounds them, conscientiousness and rigor, impulsiveness and activity.

Thanks for attention!

Introduction

From our very birth until the very last day of our lives, we are accompanied by various colors. We see them every day and do not try to focus our attention on this constantly. We choose beautiful colored clothes, furniture, interior, and much more, just on the basis of understanding “like - not like”. We don’t even notice how day-to-day colors affect our lives,our behavior , mood, character.

Color is a mysterious phenomenon. Even in a dream and with our eyes closed, we do not stop seeing colors. Color is the source of many paradoxes of thinking.
Believe it or not, the color of your clothes can help you get a promotion, convince in a dispute, call your friends for a frank conversation, improve your well-being, emotional state. The colors of clothes can give us confidence, strength, or vice versa, create a feeling of awkwardness. This applies not only to the field of clothing, but also to the decoration of your home, advertising. The colors in the house encourage or discourage family conversation and can even cause insomnia.

Since color affects people's behavior, does it make sense to figure out how and why certain reactions to color arise?

It just so happened that a person sees the world in colors. Color is present in almost everything, therefore it is true that it affects a person in the same way as everything else. Many do not notice that color is a real miracle - a great gift sent to us from above. And only a few can comprehend all its diversity and power.

By the way, the main postulate of the council of doctors at the court of the ancient Chinese emperors is interesting. This one of the most ancient laws said: all shades of red are responsible for the physical health of the body, blue tones help to "tune" the mind, yellow gamma is responsible for the state of mind. I really want to analyze the choice and preference of colors for people of different ages.

That's why I chosetopic "Color in human life."

Throughout the study, we learn the relationship between color and the emotional state of a person, as well as the influence of a person’s age on the choice of color.

Purpose of work:   to study the influence of color on the behavior and emotional state of a person, the influence of age-related characteristics on the preference of a particular color.

Research Objectives:

1. To study the theoretical basis of the issue.
2. To study the priority color in people of different ages.
3. To study the relationship of a person’s emotional state and color preferences.
4. To develop recommendations for the use of colors in clothing and interior design.

Research Methods:study of literature, analysis of various sources, observation, questionnaires, synthesis, experiment.

Object of study:color spectrum.

Research hypotheses:each age level has a preference for a particular color, color affects the behavior and emotional state of a person.

1. Color in human life

1. Color effect

It is rare that any of us thinks about what role color plays in life, and yet not only the perception of the world around us, but also our mood depends on it. Do you want to be in harmony with yourself and the world?

“All living things strive for color,” the great Johann Wolfgang Goethe once said. Goethe developed the concept of color: all dark colors are calming, light colors are exciting. Blue comes first out of darkness, yellow out of light. These are the main colors, the rest come from them. Colors can have physical and mental effects. Indeed, our life is unthinkable without the richness and charm of color forms. Color is able to please and upset; it can affect our well-being and ability to work. Representatives of various sciences have long noticed the power of the effect of color on humans: many philosophers and physicists, physiologists and doctors, psychologists again and again addressed the problem of color, tried to solve it - each in its own way, more often to the touch, intuitively. At the cradle of color science were the greatest minds of mankind - Aristotle, Leonardo da Vinci, Newton, Goethe, later - I.P. Pavlov, S.N. Vavilov and many others.

It is believed that the expressiveness of color is based on associations. Red color excites because it reminds us of the phenomena associated with fire, with blood. Green revives the thought of the refreshing effects of nature. The blue color, perhaps, causes us the idea associated with touching cold water, breathing in the dark night.

However, as the well-known American art psychologist Rudolf Arichheim quite rightly claims, the associative theory in the study of color gives as little as in other areas of knowledge. The effect of color is quite strong and spontaneous only if it is the result of intellectual interpretation.

Max Luscher, the world famous Swiss psychotherapist, was the first to create color diagnostics in the 20th century. Intuitively preferring or rejecting certain colors, a person appears as he really is. It can be said that the color choice cannot lie.

Parents infrequently penetrate the saturation of colors in the drawings of children, and therefore lose control over the emotional experiences of the child, which subsequently develop into neurosis, negativity, unwillingness to learn, and subsequently live with someone. Detect and resolve the conflict in the soul of the child will help the most ordinary drawing. Most often, psychologists use it for correction. Moreover, this happens both in schools and in special institutions.
Drawing, according to psychologist Oksana Litvinenko, also helps an adult. Therefore, draw more often, especially after nervous excitement. This is much more effective than sedative tranquilizers. And if you see in your works thick brushstrokes of dark colors, especially gray, black, dark brown, - destroy such drawings (burn), as if cutting off everything bad from your "I".

1. Color gamut

The perception of colors and shades can be compared to a musician tuning his instrument. All shades are capable of evoking elusive responses and moods in a person’s soul, which is why he seeks the resonance of color wave vibrations with the internal echoes of his soul.

There are 2 main groups into which colors are divided. These are the colors of the Warm gamut, and the colors of the Cold gamut. Let's take a closer look at their impact on us.

The warm range is: Red, yellow, orange, brown and all their shades, as you know. They create a feeling of coziness, comfort, relaxation, peace among those who look at them or wear them, cause a feeling of intimacy, emotional attraction.

Cold tones, which include all shades of blue, blue, green, violet, gray, make us be more collected and more active. But at the same time, they can cause a feeling of distance, closedness, detachment among the people around you.

1. Color characteristic

Since time immemorial, when a person gained the ability to perceive the beauty of the world around him, his attention was attracted to himself by the magic of color.

Red. People from ancient times showed a special addiction to red. In many languages, the same word denotes red color and in general everything is beautiful, beautiful. For Polynesians, the word red is synonymous with the word beloved. In China, a “red heart” speaks of a sincere, frank person, while the heart of a wicked, insidious person is black. Red is primarily associated with blood and fire. Its symbolic meanings are very diverse and contradictory. Red symbolizes joy, beauty, love and fullness of life, and on the other hand - enmity, revenge, war, is associated with aggressiveness and carnal desires. Red is the main heraldic color. On the banners, it symbolizes rebellion, revolution, struggle, independence. Interestingly, in many tribes of Africa, America and Australia, soldiers, preparing for the battle, painted their body and face in red. Carthaginians and Spartans wore red clothes during the war. Red color was also attributed to healing properties, the ability to withstand evil eye and witchcraft, red threads, fabrics, corals, flowers and plants help from evil spirits and evil eyes. The Chinese tied something red to children to the hands, accustoming them to look at this color as the best safeguard against evil spirits. In many countries, women tie their hands with red thread so that they do not hurt, and no one jinxed. Red also means power, greatness. In Byzantium, only the empress had the right to wear red boots. The emperor signed in purple ink, sat on the purple throne. For many nations, the red color symbolizes the south, flame and heat.

Red indicates danger, excitement, passion, strength, aggression, and success. This is not only an emotional, but also a physiological reaction. Red color causes shock; it completely captures attention and requires effort to perceive. Focusing on red leads to an increase in heart rate and blood pressure. Ever wondered why many fast-food restaurants are painted red? This color activates the salivary glands, which leads to a feeling of hunger and tires our eyes, forcing us to eat more and then leave the room faster. Due to its powerful effect on your nervous system, red can make you restless and tireless. The owners of the casino noticed that when red, people make more bets and play riskier, and therefore it is used in sectors where they play big. Red encourages people to make quick decisions. The red color also fills with energy and courage, gives a feeling of strength, thanks to which it is possible to fulfill the intended. This is why politicians often wear red ties, especially before the presidential election. Red evokes strong emotions, including passion. But in the home decor, restrictions are imposed on red: use it only in those rooms in which you are going to work or spend time in conversations, in living rooms (if you use red for the dining room, be prepared for what guests will eat twice as much). Red is preferable for walk-through rooms where you do not need to spend much time - in the halls and corridors. In the nursery, it can lead to insomnia. Red captures attention and puts objects painted in it in the foreground. Red is the first color that you lose sight of at dusk; it is not distinguishable over long distances.

White color symbolizes purity, spotlessness, innocence, virtue, joy. It is associated with daylight and celestial bodies, as well as with the producing force that is embodied in milk and an egg. The whiteness is associated with the idea of \u200b\u200bthe generally accepted, legal, true. In the Christian tradition, white denotes kinship with the divine light. In white, angels, saints and the righteous are depicted. Byzantine writers spoke of the whiteness of truth. For some peoples, white clothing was worn by kings and priests, which symbolized solemnity and grandeur. In Lithuanian, “white people” are honest people, in Hungarian “white people” are women. In Russia, "white" meant free, noble, righteous: "white Russia", "white king", "white peasants" free from all taxes, "white land" - church land, "white light". This light opposes the underworld, like the white day of a black night. However, white color can get the opposite value. The Slavs dressed their dead in white clothes and covered them with a white shroud. In some tribes of Africa and Australia, it is customary to paint the body with white paint after the death of someone close. In China and some other countries in Asia and Africa, white is the color of mourning. In the old days, white mourning was also used by the Slavs. The ancient Greeks always wore white linen at night to see good dreams. In India, China and Japan, the white color symbolizes death, because it is identified with angels and heavens. In white clothes, ghosts and ghosts appeared to people. "White man" was called in the Bryansk region brownie.

White color is associated with purity, innocence, virtue and fidelity. No wonder he is popular at weddings. Before the advent of washing machines, only wealthy people could afford white clothes. It was understood that a man in white clothing has a high social position - he does not have to do dirty manual labor. White color symbolizes truth and justice. From childhood we know that the “knight in white” will always come to the rescue. In the good old westerns, good guys always wore white hats, and bad guys always wore black hats. Medical devices most often have a white color, so, apparently, the sterility and cleanliness inherent in health care institutions is emphasized. White staff robes, white bandages and cotton wool come to mind. Although white refers to neutral colors, it is considered cold, as it is associated with snow and ice. White is often used to express sterility and safety. In international law, a white flag is considered a call for a truce. White is used on packages of dairy products and refined products.

White is the color of innocence and purity.

Among Slavic peoples, white color symbolizes sincerity, purity of soul and thoughts.

People who are attracted to white,

The black   color symbolizes misfortune, grief, mourning, the death of everything that moves and breathes. Black is associated with darkness and earth and is a genuine emblem of everything hidden, secret and unknown. For many nations, blackness is associated with night, and night with evil and witchcraft. At night, human life is most at risk.

In ancient Mexico, during the ritual sacrifice of man, the faces and hands of priests were painted black. Black eyes are still considered dangerous, envious. In black dressed ominous characters whose appearance portends death. According to the assumption of the English ethnologist V. Turner, the black color, often denoting death, fainting, sleep, or darkness, is associated with an unconscious state, with the experience of dullness, darkening of consciousness. For Arabs, the expression "black eyes" means beloved, "blackness of the heart" - love. Thus, black can also have a favorable meaning. It is perceived as, for example, in the arid regions of Africa, where there is little water and black clouds promise fertility and abundance. Black bulls, goats or birds are sacrificed to guardian spirits sending rain, while the priests are also dressed in black. Black is the most authoritarian and overwhelming color of the spectrum. It is associated with death and darkness, creates a disturbing feeling of suspense. People fear that the world may disappear in a black hole, and if a black cat crosses the road, then wait for trouble. The impression generated in black is endowed with great power. Guards, bodyguards prefer a black uniform. Dear limos are usually black, this is intended to suggest that those in the car are important people. A recent statistical analysis of American football games has revealed an interesting pattern: referees are more likely to punish a team in black uniforms, as its players appear to be more aggressive to referees. If a black tie is indicated at the invitations to the reception, this emphasizes the importance of the event and the information is transmitted that the costume should be strict, since the meeting will be official. Black color is authoritarian and in large doses can give the impression of aggressiveness. Black is considered conservative and respectable. It seems to people that black figures weigh more than the same white figures.

Yellow. Psychologists say that yellow is the happiest color in the spectrum, it inspires optimism and joy. Association with the sun gives yellow a special aura, denotes wisdom, intelligence, imagination, a tendency to spontaneity. Yellow color is instantly recorded by the brain, stimulating its work and nervous system. A high degree of yellow visibility promotes quick, clear thinking. Yellow “enlivens” other colors, turning hot colors into dazzling and bringing cool colors back to life. That is why this color is a favorite in the home interior, filling any room with warmth and light. The most common use of yellow is in the kitchen and in the dining room - it helps to increase appetite. In small doses, yellow color creates a happy atmosphere for friendly conversations, however, prolonged proximity to bright lemon color can cause brain excitement and anxiety. Yellow is the happiest color, it represents warmth, optimism and joy. Yellow actively protrudes into space, and therefore is considered the most noticeable color; It is preferred for road signs and various kinds of packaging. Yellow color stimulates clear thinking. Yellow activates other colors, making the hot colors shine and revitalizing cool colors. The abundance of yellow can tire. His muffled tones favor communication, and golden ones are associated with the idea of \u200b\u200bwealth.

Yellow, as a symbol of the sun, relieves stress and gives hope. A stream of yellow light symbolizes warmth and comfort and strengthens nerves.

Blue   Is the color of the sky and the sea. It combines some kind of contradiction of excitement and peace, causes a feeling of cold and reminds of a shadow. The blue surface seems to be moving away from the person, captivating the eye in depth. For many nations, the blue color symbolized the sky and eternity. In Christian culture, he is associated with incomprehensible secrets, with eternal divine truth. For romantics, the blue color of dreams and longing for an unearthly ideal. Blue can also symbolize kindness, fidelity, constancy, disposition, and in the language of heraldry denotes chastity, honesty, good glory and fidelity. "Blue Blood" speaks of a noble birth. It was considered mourning in ancient Egypt and among some peoples of America, the French call horror "blue fear" (recall the tale of the "Blue Beard"). Among the Slavic peoples, blue served as a symbol of sadness, grief, was associated with the demonic world.

If such “bursts” periodically occur, such as the situation with a red dress, then this indicates what mood you were exposed to at a certain moment in your life, perhaps it was a matter of a few minutes, or a big new stage.

Based on this, it is obvious that we are able to influence our mood and well-being, knowing which aspects are characteristic of a particular color. That is, you yourself can set the direction for your mood, putting on things in certain tones. You can study the definition of colors in the previous paragraph.

Psychology of flowers in the interior

Most likely, you have already managed to verify from your own experience that the color of the walls of the room you are in can affect your mood and radically change it both in a positive and a negative direction. Of course, it is for this reason that you need to pay special attention to interior solutions.

Obviously, color is one of the most important components of the environment, and it is within its power to make adjustments to our well-being, mood. If you skillfully use colors and their combinations in the interior of a room, the result of such efforts will be a feeling of comfort and coziness. Otherwise, often being in a room with a poorly selected color, you will only feel anxiety, apathy, or despondency.

Surely, you’ve heard that dull, light and cool shades that have a minimum of contrast can visually “push” the walls of the room, and in the end it will seem more spacious than it actually is. In turn, dark and warm shades visually narrow the space.

As you know, a certain color can not only improve the interior of the house, but also spoil it. Carefully study this question, study the nature of color and take note of the most successful color solutions. As we already mentioned, there are warm and cold colors, and the overall impression of the room will depend on what color you choose.

How does the color scheme affect a person and his life

Many seriously underestimate the effect of color on the well-being and mood of a person. At times, color can influence the occurrence of certain reactions, which subsequently directly affect the adoption of important decisions. For example, color can affect a person’s pressure, his appetite, and he himself will not notice this.

Remember how you often feel on a cloudy and dank day, looking out of the window and getting ready to leave the apartment. Seeing the glass gray, you probably feel a significant deterioration in mood. Positive energy seems to disappear somewhere and the world around it begins to cause unpleasant emotions. It is unlikely that you thought that the reason for all these unkind moods is just the perception of color.

Some time ago, medicine began to pay closer attention to such a thing as color therapy. What is the essence of such a technique? Color is used as one of the ways to influence the patient’s emotional, mental and even physical condition. The basis of the technique was the wavelength of each color - it turned out that each length has a specific effect on the human body.

By the way, color as one of the aspects of treatment was used back in the period of the existence of ancient civilizations. For example, in ancient Egypt, special rooms were allocated in the temples in which the refraction of the sun's rays took place - subsequently this influenced the appearance of different colors of the spectrum. The man seemed to bathe in bright colors, and this technique even got its name - “Ra-therapy”. Today, this unusual method of treatment has been replaced by chromotherapy - a science that studies how certain colors affect human health.

How color can influence a person

How and where is it successfully applied

It is possible to exert some influence on the human psyche with the help of color, and creators of advertising who want to most effectively promote their product are well aware of this. We are talking not only about commercials and election campaigns in which competent specialists ensured the predominance of certain “effective” colors, but also about the shelves of the supermarket.

According to psychologists, light and color are of great importance in order for the product to move more actively. The light, as it were, challenges the buyer, stimulates a certain action on his part. Different shades of lighting affect a person’s mood. If you choose the right combination of different lighting elements, you can get an amusing play of light and shadow, which contributes to the demonstration of goods in the most beneficial way.

Color scheme - as a way of manipulation

Sometimes, we do not notice how unobtrusively and subtly we are manipulated with the help of color. Think about the above example with store shelves, and when your hand once again reaches for a product that you didn’t initially plan to purchase, think about why you are doing this — you need this purchase or you reacted to the packaging. Most likely, the matter is still in the second embodiment, your subconscious in a certain way reacted to a successful color combination, and there is a great chance that this did not happen for the first time.

Color manipulation also occurs in other circumstances. For example, if there is a need to increase the efficiency of the team without notifying the employees themselves, experienced managers use green color - it is simply added to the interior or some kind of work equipment. It is no coincidence that the most common color of school desks is green - it contributes to a high concentration of attention. Knowing how a particular color affects others, you can also learn how to manipulate this circumstance.

The meaning of colors is a separate branch in psychology, which has a special effect on human consciousness. Some colors can cause apathy or emotional uplift, help you make choices or show your own status. Have you ever wondered why so many commercials show red shades? Or why cars of deputies and businessmen are all black? Let's see what this or that color means in psychology.

Red color: value

This color attracts attention like no other. It is often used in advertising. And it doesn’t matter that most people associate it with danger and aggression. They even say that if you look at the red color for a long time, a person’s heart rate may increase and pressure may rise. Psychologists, interpreting the meaning of colors, say that typical leaders, persistent, stubborn in their aspirations and often cruel, prefer red. And it is a red dress that most often will be worn by a woman who wants to be in the spotlight and flirt with men.

Green color: value

Green is a shade of nature. It calms and relaxes, tunes in a peaceful manner. In contrast to red, it normalizes blood pressure and is even able to heal ailments. Green lovers are confident and self-confident people. They are serious about business and are always ready to help others. The inner world of such people is very rich, but they are in no hurry to share it with the first person they meet.

Yellow color: value

Yellow color symbolizes warmth, optimism and the belief that everything will be fine. Text written on a yellow background is best remembered, and advertisers often use it.

These are creative and artistic natures. They have a high self-esteem, critical of themselves, but also require a lot from others.

Blue color: meaning

If you look closely, you will notice that the walls of offices and gyms are often painted in this color.

White and black colors: meaning

These colors, opposite in the spectrum, have different meanings in psychology. If white symbolizes purity, fidelity, freedom, then black declares authoritarianism, mystery, significant social status. White color is often used in medicine and religion. A black car, a man or a woman in a black suit - in our eyes automatically looks successful and significant for society. People dressed in white are open to the whole world and devoted to their occupation. Black lovers - unconsciously isolate themselves from reality and want to attract attention. By the way, those who study the meaning of colors noticed an interesting nuance: during football matches it is the teams in black that receive the most warnings from referees, yellow and even red cards. Why do you think so?

Human abilities to see the colorful world are unique. A person can distinguish a huge number of shades of the same color. He wears some colors and tries to avoid others. Why is this happening, why is color in human life?

Because of what, when it’s cold we tend to red shades, and in the heat it seems to us that blue shades give coolness? Why do we call some shades warm and others cold? Why can the same colors in one situation improve mood, and in another they can spoil it hopelessly? Why is psychology inclined to link the often used color and character of a person?

Perhaps our perception of a particular color is due to its effect on us. Consider the influence of color in psychology, the importance of primary colors.
