FREE REFLECTION

We use the colors in every aspect of our life from decorating to wearing without being aware of their effects on our moods, perceptions, and emotions. Each color arouses different emotions on people. That is, some colors affect people positively while some affect them in a negative way. For instance, the black which has a light absorbing property is often seen as a symbol of menace or evil, so movies, books, and magazines typically depict the bad guys in black. Similarly, it is a color of mourning, death, and sadness, so people put on black color in funeral ceremonies. On the other hand, white color which reflects light symbolizes innocence, purity, and cleanliness. Therefore, brides wear white in their wedding ceremonies to symbolize purity or doctors and nurses wear it to imply sterility. As far as I am concerned, the colors really affect our moods, and perceptions. To illustrate, I fell calm, and relaxed when I wear blue. Similarly, I notice the person who wears red immediately. Morover, the wearer appears more serious to me as it’s very attractive and immense color. If we think from the point of the perception, the red color is issued in traffic signs to grap attention easily, and the white color is popular in decorating since it is light, neutral, and goes with everything. To conclude, colors play an important role in the human mind, and the way the things are perceived, processed, and performed.
