Some colors have been associated with elevated blood pressure, increased metabolism, and eye strain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Color psychology is focused on the mental and emotional impact of color on people in all aspects of life. There are some very subjective color psychology elements, as well as some more agreed and established elements. There will also be differences in understanding, context, and perception between cultures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oddly, very little theoretical or empirical work has been done to date on the effect of color on psychological functioning, and the work that has been done has mainly been motivated by practical considerations, not scientific rigor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the general lack of research in this area, the definition of color psychology has become a hot topic in marketing, art, design, and other fields. Most of the data in this new field are, at best, hypothetical, but researchers and experts have made some important findings and observations about color psychology and the impact it has on moods, emotions, and behaviors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below is a list of colors and the emotions and feelings they convey individually-<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>Black\n<ul><li>Intelligence<\/li><li>Evil<\/li><li>Authority<\/li><li>Strength<\/li><li>Power<\/li><li>Death<\/li><li>Mourning<\/li><\/ul>\n<\/li><li> White\n<ul><li>Neutrality<\/li><li>Cleanliness<\/li><li>Serenity<\/li><li>Purity<\/li><li>Innocence<\/li><li>Mourning<\/li><\/ul> \n<\/li><li> Grey \n<ul><li>Practicality<\/li><li>Neutrality<\/li><li>Timelessness<\/li><li>Calm<\/li><\/ul>\n<\/li><li> Pink \n<ul><li>Love<\/li><li>Agitation<\/li><li>Romance<\/li><li>Calming<\/li><li>Gentleness<\/li><li>Infatuation<\/li><\/ul>\n<\/li><li> Red \n<ul><li>Anger<\/li><li>Love<\/li><li>Aggression<\/li><li>Life<\/li><li>Blood<\/li><li>Excitement<\/li><li>Romance<\/li><li>Warmth<\/li><li>Intensity<\/li><li>Energy<\/li><\/ul>\n<\/li><li> Brown\n<ul><li>Warmth<\/li><li>Comfort<\/li><li>Organic<\/li><li>Reliability<\/li><li>Stability<\/li><li>Nature<\/li><li>Security<\/li><li>Friendship<\/li><\/ul> \n<\/li><li> Orange \n<ul><li>Stimulation<\/li><li>Energetic<\/li><li>Warmth<\/li><li>Sophistication<\/li><li>Happy<\/li><li>Enthusiasm<\/li><li>Wealth<\/li><li>Change<\/li><li>Prosperity<\/li><li>Excitement<\/li><\/ul>\n<\/li><li> Purple \n<ul><li>Mystery<\/li><li>Prosperity<\/li><li>Royalty<\/li><li>Sophistication<\/li><li>Exotic<\/li><li>Respect<\/li><li>Wisdom<\/li><li>Spiritual<\/li><li>Wealth<\/li><\/ul>\n<\/li><li> Yellow \n<ul><li>Attention getting<\/li><li>Laughter<\/li><li>Warmth<\/li><li>Cheery<\/li><li>Happiness<\/li><li>Hunger<\/li><li>Anger<\/li><li>Frustration<\/li><li>Optimism<\/li><li>Intensity<\/li><\/ul>\n<\/li><li> Green \n<ul>\n<li>Fertility<\/li><li>Money<\/li><li>Natural<\/li><li>Envy<\/li><li>Cool<\/li><li>Calmness<\/li><li>Growth<\/li><li>Health<\/li><li>Harmony<\/li><li>Tranquility<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li><\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Color is a potent communication tool that can be used to convey intent, influence mood, and even trigger physiological reactions.
