GREEN
Physiological
Effect: Green is said to be good for you heart. On a physical
and emotional, green helps your heart bring you physical equilibrium
and relaxation. Green relaxes our muscles and helps us breathe deeper
and slower.
Psychological
Effect: Green creates feelings of comfort, laziness, relaxation,
calmness. It helps us balance and soothe our emotions. Some attribute
this to its connection with nature and our natural feelings of affiliation
with the natural world when experiencing the color green. Yet, darker
and grayer greens can have the opposite effect. These olive green
colors remind us of decay and death and can actually have a detrimental
effect on physical and emotional health. Note that sickened cartoon
characters always turned green.
