Understanding colour

HOW COLOURS MAKE YOU FEEL

Whole books have been written on the psychology of colour. But here is just an idea of how most people react to colours

Red = Love
Light Blue = Tranquillity
Black = Hatred or Sorrow
Orange = Jovial
Violet = Spiritual
Mid Blue = Peace
Yellow = Happy
Green = Life
Blue = Nobility

Of course, no two people react in the same way, but the above list is useful to bear in mind when choosing your colour schemes.
