Going Green

My final installation of a Color Blog that started last week after waking up to grey skies and "Brown-Eyed Girl" playing on the radio.  Color certainly does have an impact on us.  Surround yourself in colors that you like -- there's a reason why you like them.


Dark Green is associated with wealth and money. But green actually symbolizes nature and represents tranquility and good luck. The color is often used for it calming effects.

Orange you glad….
This fabulous, energetic color combines red and yellow, resulting in a dramatic effect. Orange represents enthusiasm, excitement and warmth. It is the color of a beautiful sunset and is quite the attention-getter.

I don’t know why they call it   Mellow Yellow 

Yellow is another attention-getting color; it's warm and cheery. Because it is stimulating, we often find it in restaurants (so we eat more). Although considered cheerful, there is a school of thought that it can cause over-stimulation and agitation -- which is why the color is not usually recommended for an infant’s room. And it's worth noting that yellow reflects a good amount of light, making it difficult on the eyes in certain settings; especially office settings where the glare on computer screens is increased.

Purple Rain 

This is an interesting color that combines stable blue and energetic red. Most often associated with power, royalty, wealth, and extravagance, it also represents dignity and wisdom. (Years ago I was told that it was associated with death in some European countries but have no idea if that is true or not.) 

Live life in full color.  Happy Home Staging Charlotte!
