| colorful The easiest way to change the look of a room is by painting its walls. Color is simultaneously form (because it occupies space) and content (because it expresses mood). Warm colors move forward and cool colors recede. Some people are warm and some people are cool. Paolina Bonaparte, while planning a party at Villa Borghese, learned that her arch rival was to wear a red dress. So the night before, Paolina had her walls covered with red fabric and thus obliterated the presence of her rival at the party. Red on red is just red. Sameness neutralizes. |

Itten charts show how the rapport between one color and another changes the color itself. The visual behaviour of red next to green is not the same as that of the same red next to orange. People are like colors. They change according to who they're with. |
| I like black
because it intensifies any color that's placed next to it. I don't like
brown. Like wilted flowers, brown is the color of that which has
gone away. |
| color affects our mood Research does suggest that color can affect your being and that your choice of color or combinations of color is significant to your mood. An example of this is that healthy people will prefer colors and color mixtures that reflect their health both physically and mentally. Furthermore, your color preferences are not necessarily fixed and that they will vary even within a given day depending on your mood. |
