What are designers guided by when they use a certain color scheme to create a harmonious interior? Each color evokes a set of emotions and feelings that subconsciously affect the psychomotor in the human body. Everyone has a favorite color and one that evokes negative emotions.
Colors can make you feel good or bad, help you concentrate or distract attention, increase or decrease pressure, influence an important decision, or completely change your reaction to a situation. Scientists have long noticed how important it is to consider color distribution in human life. The science of color therapy deeply studies the effect of color on the body.
What is color and chromotherapy
We can determine the color with the help of the organ of vision – eye. When a beam of light hits the retina of the eye, a reaction to this sensation is sent to the brain. Color is an electromagnetic radiation of the optical range. Colors are distinguished from each other by a long electromagnetic wave that the human eye perceives.
Long wave spectrum – they are yellow, orange and red. This spectrum has a sympathetic-tonic effect on the human body, or rather it helps to increase blood pressure, increases blood sugar levels, increases the production of thermal energy, and tones.
Shortwave spectrum – These are purple, blue and cyan. The spectrum affects the parasympathetic system: it increases the immune system (body resistance), activates the digestive tract, accelerates the excretory function, and helps to calm the nervous system. Green color does not belong to these two spectra, it functions independently.
Chromotherapy or color therapy is a method of treatment by color influence on a person.
The influence of color on the body is carried out in the following areas:
- normalization of metabolism;
- regeneration of physiological processes;
- increasing the body's resistance to an aggressive environment (immunity);
- maintaining the effective functioning of organs and systems;
- improving the mental and emotional sphere.
The influence of color on the body occurs not only through the eyes, but is literally absorbed through the skin. Try closing your eyes and entering a room furnished in a color you don't perceive. Most likely, you will feel intuitively which color prevails. Color penetrates into our body and makes organs work better or slows down development.
