Different colors on room walls have different psychological effects on us. Color therapy or art therapy is widely used to ease emotional and mental stress. So if you're looking for any subtle ways to improve your mental & physical wellbeing, it could be a good idea to get the right room color/home color.
 
Let's have a look at how each color can influence your mood & behaviour.
 

              Top Colors for Room Walls to Affect Mood and Behavior

Uplifting Yellow Color

Yellow is a lovely color and makes any space come alive. It signifies joy, happiness, and freedom. But an excess of this color especially bright yellow can lead to frustration and uneasiness. So, we suggest a very simple solution, get a yellow accent wall or use a pale yellow for the entire room. This would balance out any excess. If we talk about living room wall colors, yellow will top the list as it adds brightness to your living space

Healthy Green Color

Green is considered one of the healthiest colors of the family. It has a certain calming and healing effect. Consider green for your bedroom for a good and refreshing sleep. Or go for a green living room to encourage warmth and togetherness amongst family.

Pretty Lavender Color

Purple is warm, dramatic, and sophisticated at its darkest shade for eg.eggplant. It is synonymous with luxury and creativity; it gives a breadth of a scheme as an accent or secondary color. Lighter versions of purple, such as lavender and lilac, carry to bedrooms the same restful qualities as blue but without the possibility of feeling cold.

Cool Blue Color

Be it your bedroom or the entire home, blue is one of the most popular choices. Blue brings in a feeling of serenity, calm, and coolness to your space. In fact, it is one of the colors which can be tolerated at a higher amount. An excess of it though can promote pessimism, separation, and anxiety.

Active Red Color

Any discussion on color is incomplete without mention of this prominent shade. Red promotes vitality, activeness, and vibrancy. It promotes health, ambition, and strength. But the excess of red can be super damaging too - irritation, anger, or hostility.  Thus we suggest going for one red accent wall only.

Warm Orange/Peach Color

Orange color is considered to emote a lot of energy and warmth. So it is a highly recommended color for your living room or exercise space. As orange is a variation of red, its excess invites the same feelings of irritation, anger, and hostility.

Basic White Color

We can’t miss the neutral colors in the color palette. White has been a ruler of interior decor for a reason. White is generally used to create an illusion of space and calmness. You can also use this white background to mix and match with other colors. Thus in practicality, an excess of white hardly happens.

Perfect Grey Color

Another color we can’t miss when talking about neutral colors is grey. It is a perfect neutral signifying balance and sophistication both. As it comes as a mix of black and white, the absence of any other color might induce low feelings or depression. We suggest bringing it up by using wooden or bright-colored design and decor.

Picturesque Pink Color

Though pink is derived from red, its effects are in the complete opposite of red. The more you are exposed to pink, the more you experience calm. A lighter shade of pink is great for a kid's room, reading, or meditation room. There is no downside in going all pink too!

Pitch Black Color

You can’t really go all black either a room color or home color completely. But use a black and white theme in your living or bedroom. Black signifies wisdom, mystery, and curiosity but still is always matched with white to create a style statement.

Earthy Brown/Beige Color

Well, earthy colors have their own fan following! These are considered very safe, subtle colors and promote people to sit around and talk. You can use these colors in your kitchen or living room. Also very conducive for commercial, office spaces, shops etc.

Analog Colors

When you want a set of colors on the color wheel next to each other, you either look to the right or to the left of the color to find the color scheme being equivalent. A few combinations can be - yellow and orange, pink and lavender. Pick the colors sitting next to each other and combine the goodness of both!

Complementary Colors

Any color you pick on the wheel for your home color, just pick the polar opposite of it on the color wheel. For example, red & green, black & white, purple & yellow. Again, you can offset the brightness of yellow with the calmness of lilac.

Triad Colors

Instead of grouping three or more colors on the color wheel that neighbors each, you can take three colors that are evenly spaced and decorate your room with these lovely, contrasting shades. This is a perfect way to achieve a balanced look.

Monotone Colors

This is a great scheme if you are still unsure about how to mix and match your room color and want to avoid an excess of anything. Now that we know the effects of colors on mood, going monotone is a perfect solution.

Don’t be someone who picks just random colors based on aesthetics. Wall colors can affect your mood. Decide on colors for each room based on the vibe you wish to generate in your dream home. Choose anything between warm or cool colors, happy or sad, energizing or calm colors variations. The possibilities are endless!
