Colour Psychology

1. Green : Indicates balance. Used to show nature, peace, contentment and calmness.

2. Red : red is a powerful colour. Used to symbolise danger, lust, love and intimidation.

3. Blue : Blue is the colour of the mind and is essentially soothing. Used to add coolness, dullness or a serene affect to the picture/video.

4. Yellow : It is an attention seeking colour. Visible from afar, this colour is primarily used in road signs since it grabs ones attention from a distance. Also known as the colour of hate.

5. Violet : It is highly introvertive and encourages deep contemplation, or meditation. Symbolises wealth, royalty and pride. 

6. Orange : Since it is a combination of red and yellow, orange is stimulating and reaction to it is a combination of the physical and the emotional. Depicts anger, aggression and fear.

7. Grey : Pure grey is the only colour that has no direct psychological properties. It is, however, quite suppressive. Used to show depression, anxiety and confusion.

8. Pink : Being a tint of red, pink also affects us physically, but it soothes, rather than stimulates.

9. Black : Black is all colours, totally absorbed. The psychological implications of that are considerable. Depicts anger, rage as well as sophistication.

 10. White : Just as black is total absorption, so white is total reflection. In effect, it reflects the full force of the spectrum into our eyes.
