Best Paint Colors for a Bedroom Sanctuary
According to psychologists, advertisers, and experts in the art of Feng Shui, blue is a color that calms us down, make us feel balanced, and allow us to release our emotions. That's why you will find cool shades of blue throughout facilities that tend to cause stress, like hospitals, testing centers, and even prisons. Colors that depict shades of water can be relaxing choices when deciding on a new paint color, and most of the "water" colors fall into shades of blue or green, like a serene aqua color or a light emerald shade.
Blue can make you feel relaxed and harmonious – and researchers do not yet know if that is due to cultural meanings that are associated with these colors, such as the association of a calm blue sky or a beautiful calm body of water, or if it has to do with the effect that certain colors have on the chemistry of the brain.
