"The Secret Language of Color"
by Inna Segal
"Color is a power which directly influences the soul."
~Wassily Kandinsky
One of the most powerful reasons many artists love to paint is Color! Color is a way of communicating what you want to say without using words. Using mindfulness along with knowledge acquired about how humans perceive color, the use of different shades can create calm within the nervous system, influence mood and create peaceful feelings.
Hospitals are now using color to help patients feel better. Some hospitals and nursing homes also use music, writing and animal therapies to create a happier and calming environment. Certain colors are considered healing. The top seven are:
Yellow = playful, optimistic
Orange = happy, positive
Pink = loving, compassionate
Red = stimulating, energizing
Purple = meditative, creative
Blue = calming, tranquil
Green = soothing, refreshing
"The Secret Language of Color Cards" book by Inna Segal contains 45 different color cards. The guidebook talks about what the colors mean and how they can help you. There are also meditations for each color. More new shades can be brought into a person's surroundings by displaying pleasing art, wearing certain colors of clothing, spending time in nature, decorating, serving up a colorful plate of food ... and, of course, by painting and drawing.
Speaking with color is a wonderful way to communicate, improve your emotional state and create the ambiance you desire!
