Most people find the interior selection of colors to be a difficult part of a project since colors play such an important role in our daily lives and have a profound impact on us. I have prepared a list of colors and the effects they can create depending on their tone, so read on to learn a little bit more about colors!
Wall painting brands and their selections
Every year the brands do a selection of the colors that will trend for interior design, and for the year(2022) the selected color by @benjaminmoore is the beautiful October mist, a green tone that brings to any space a calm and relaxing vibe, and @sherwinwilliams selected color is the Evergreen Fog (SW 9130), a versatile and calming hue of green-meets-gray, with just a bit of blue.
However, I know the colors chosen for this year are just ideas of what will be fashionable this year, and we cannot use them as a rule.
The basic recommendations for choosing a color are:
When you do the color selection of our home, it is helpful to identify how we want to feel and what we would like to have in that space.
If you live in a colder area and would like your home to feel comfortable and cozy, the recommended colors are shades of red, orange, yellow, and brown. These tones are known as warm tones.
If you live in a warm region, you should consider using cool tones, which are blue, green, and violet tones. They produce a feeling of freshness and cooling.
Okay, I know that this basic doesn’t tell much, and for that reason, I made a list of colors and described them a little bit better telling about some of the sensations that they can bring to us when used in spaces:
Blue:
It is linked to loyalty, respect, and responsibility.
When mixed with green, it relieves stress and tension. It can be applied in workspaces, as it will help to calm communication between people.
Pastel tones can bring calm and also visually increase the space as they reflect a lot of light. It is a suitable choice for rooms and spaces to relax.
Dark and gray tones can induce introspection. However, caution is necessary when using these tones as they can also bring the feeling of sadness when used too much.
Violet and purple:
They are linked to sensitivity, intuition, spirituality, and sophistication, in addition to helping in the development of perception.
Violet is used to stimulate the artistic side of people, but strong hues can depress.
Dark and strong shades of violet can create an atmosphere of refuge and introspection.
Lavender is delicate and calm, it can help to raise self-esteem. Recommended for closets and bedrooms, bringing a feeling of refreshment and tranquility.
Red:
In addition to being stimulants and linked to aggressive behavior, they can create an oppressive, stressful, and irritating environment, in addition to visually reducing the dimensions of the space.
Magenta encourages introspection and can help induce change.
Cherry cherries are elegant and warm.
Pink and peach help people communicate with each other.
Pink shades are feminine and can stimulate affection in people.
Orange:
It is linked with intellectuality, warmth, movement, and action. Terracotta, cinnamon, caramel, and honey are warm and energetic but can reduce the size of rooms.
Peach, apricot, and orange are delicate colors that enhance the feeling of well-being.
They speed up reasoning in the office or while studying.
Orange tones are effective for stimulating socialization, creativity, and fun.
Yellow:Childhood color, joy, and wealth stimulate creativity and intellect.
Cream variants can be used in any setting.
Small and dark environments gain light with yellow, but if used with white it can generate insecurity.
It is not very suitable for bedrooms, as it helps to stimulate the functioning of the brain.
Gold, bronze, and mustard are vibrant, rich, sophisticated, and elegant warm colors. However, they can encourage pessimism and negativity in people.
Green:
It is linked to balance, harmony, honesty, stability, reliability, charity, compassion, and hope.
Considered a color that “lowers blood pressure”, it is comforting and anti-stress, stimulating silence and relaxation.
Pastel tones can be used in relaxation, waiting, study, and meeting rooms.
It is all about what you want to feel
