What Is Colour Psychology?

We can simply describe colour psychology as the effect of different colours on human behaviour. Colours affect people
differently, especially in different cultures. Some colours, such as blue and green, are universally related to nature. However,
there are others that are more objective; for example, white in the UK signifies peacefulness and purity, and is often used
at weddings, whereas other cultures see it as a colour of death. Colours can be powerful; they can have an effect not only
on the visual aesthetics but also on evoking particular emotions and feelings. This is why it’s important to choose a colour
that reflects you. Here are the colours which mostly evoke these certain emotions:
