Consider Colour

Psychologists recognise that our relationship with colour is a complex thing. It is not merely a matter of subjectively favouring certain colours, but consideration must also take account of its affect on our characteristics & responses.


Instinctively, we are programmed to respond to colour in certain ways. Grey is associated with the descent into winter and associated hardship, green with fertility and plenty, blue with the cooling, powerful waters…

Of course these associations are not as simple and linear as I suggest here. They are complex, multi-faceted and adjusted by personal, geographical and spiritual experience.

Have your say ... all feedback is appreciated ... make yourself heard
