Painting is paint, color, it is embedded inside our body. Her outbursts are large and demanding.

Rainbow psychology
As children, we all rejoiced at the appearance of a rainbow in the sky after the rain. Everyone tried to memorize the number and sequence of colors of the rainbow. Who among us does not remember such funny phrases as:- TO every ABOUT hunter AND wants Z nah, G de WITH goes F azan
- TO ak ABOUT once AND ak- Z lantern G tin WITH broke F onar.
- And other options.
- TO each is red;
- ABOUT hunter - orange;
- AND elaet - yellow;
- Z nat - green;
- G de - blue;
- WITH goes - blue;
- F azan - purple.
But we didn’t even think at that time that each color influences us, our character and our life to one degree or another.
And now, having already become adults, we can trace the psychological connection of a certain color we prefer with one or another trait of our character.
People who are irritated by this color have an inferiority complex, fear of quarrels, a tendency towards solitude, stability in relationships. The red color symbolizes excitement and energy. This color is also a symbol of eroticism.
Disgust and ignoring red reflects organic weakness, physical or mental exhaustion.
Prisoners of war, forced to live for years in life-threatening conditions, were especially likely to reject him.
Red is the color most preferred by teenagers.
Being loved means being sociable, curious, courageous, adaptable, and enjoying the opportunity to please and attract people.
When he is unpleasant, then we are talking about a concentrated, pessimistic person with whom it is difficult to establish an acquaintance. Yellow comes from mixing green and red and is the color of energy.
The greatest preference for yellow is given to pregnant women expecting a successful outcome of childbirth, as well as people who are prone to changing places.
Yellow is also interpreted as the color of illumination (halo/aura of Christ or Buddha).
The one who prefers it is afraid of other people's influence, looking for a way to assert himself, since this is vitally important for him. Anyone who does not love him is afraid of everyday problems, the vicissitudes of fate, in general, all difficulties.
The color green contains hidden potential energy and reflects the degree of volitional tension, therefore people who prefer green strive for self-confidence and confidence in general.
Eccentric people, who achieve their goals not through targeted volitional activity, but through emotions, reject green as an unattractive color.
Along with them, green color is rejected by people who are on the verge of mental and physical exhaustion.
If you like him, then this speaks of modesty and melancholy; such a person often needs to rest, he gets tired quickly, a sense of confidence and the goodwill of others is extremely important to him.
The rejection of this color reveals a person who wants to give the impression that he can do anything in the world. But, in essence, he is a model of uncertainty and isolation. Indifference to this color speaks of a certain frivolity in the field of feelings, although hidden under the guise of courtesy.
In short, choosing blue as the most preferred color reflects a person's physiological and psychological need for peace, and denying it means that a person avoids relaxation.
When you are sick or overworked, the need for blue increases.
Anyone who prefers to dress in black often perceives life in dark colors, is unconfident, unhappy, and prone to depression, because he has no doubt that his ideals in life are unattainable.
Frequently changing a black suit or dress to another, brighter, catchier one, indicates that pessimistic moods often dissipate. The constant choice of black indicates the presence of a certain crisis state and characterizes aggressive rejection of the world or oneself (remember the black banners of anarchists).
Children who are acutely experiencing a lack of care and love often use black shading in their drawings. Normally, black is generally rejected.
It is also a neutral color favored by those who are afraid to make a statement too loudly. If you don’t like this color, then this is an indicator of an impulsive, frivolous character.
Often, gray color is also preferable in case of severe overwork as a barrier, fencing off the irritants of the outside world. In situations of psychological testing, this color is used as a means of protection against the penetration of another into the inner world of the subject.
A study of about two thousand young men in a situation of competitive examinations for vacant positions showed that the color gray was put in first place by 27% of the examinees instead of the usual 5% in a normal situation.

Psychology of colors in the interior
Most likely, you have already been able to verify from your own experience that the color of the walls of the room you are in can influence your mood and radically change it in both positive and negative directions. Of course, it is for this reason that you need to approach interior solutions with special attention. Obviously, color is one of the most important components of the environment, and it has the power to make adjustments to our well-being and mood in life. If you skillfully use colors and their combinations in the interior of a particular room, the result of such efforts will be a feeling of comfort and coziness. Otherwise, often being in a room with poorly chosen colors, you will only feel anxiety, apathy or despondency. Surely, you have heard that dim, light and cool shades that have a minimum of contrast can visually “push apart” the walls premises, and as a result it will seem more spacious than it actually is. In turn, dark and warm shades visually narrow the space. As you understand, a certain color can not only improve the interior of a home, but also ruin it. Study this issue carefully, study the nature of color and take note of the most successful color solutions. As we already mentioned, there are warm and cool colors, and the overall impression of the room will depend on which color you choose.How does color affect a person and his life?
Many seriously underestimate the influence of color on a person’s well-being and mood. At times, color can influence the occurrence of certain reactions, which subsequently directly affect important decisions. For example, color can affect a person’s blood pressure and appetite, without him even noticing it. Remember what feelings you often experience on a cloudy and chilly day, looking out of the window and getting ready to leave the apartment. Seeing the grayness behind the glass, you probably feel a significant deterioration in your mood. Positive energy seems to disappear somewhere and the world around begins to evoke unpleasant emotions. It’s unlikely that you have thought that the cause of all these bad moods is precisely the perception of color. Some time ago, medicine began to pay closer attention to such a phenomenon as color therapy. What is the essence of this technique? Color is used as one of the ways to influence the emotional, mental and even physical state of the patient. The basis of the technique was the wavelength of each color - it turned out that each length has a certain effect on the human body. By the way, color as one of the aspects of treatment was used during the existence of ancient civilizations. For example, in ancient Egypt, special rooms were allocated in temples in which the refraction of sunlight took place - this subsequently influenced the appearance of different colors of the spectrum. The person seemed to be bathed in bright colors, and this technique even got its name - “Ra-therapy.” Today, this unusual treatment method has been replaced by chromotherapy, a science that studies how certain colors affect human health.How color can influence a person
How and where it is successfully used The human psyche can be somewhat influenced by color, and advertising creators who want to promote their product most effectively are well aware of this. We are talking not only about commercials and election campaigns, in which competent specialists ensured the predominance of certain “effective” colors, but also about supermarket shelves. According to psychologists, light and color are of great importance in order for the product to be promoted more actively. The light seems to challenge the buyer and stimulate a certain action on his part. Different shades of lighting affect a person's mood. If you choose the right combination of different lighting elements, you can get an interesting play of light and shadow that helps demonstrate products in the most advantageous way. Color scheme - as a method of manipulation Sometimes we don’t notice how unobtrusively and subtly we are manipulated with the help of color. Think about the example above with store shelves, and when your hand once again reaches out for some product that you initially did not plan to purchase at all, think about why you are doing this - you need this purchase so much or you reacted to the packaging. Most likely, the matter is in the second option: your subconscious reacted in a certain way to a successful color combination, and there is a high chance that this did not happen for the first time. Color manipulation also occurs in other circumstances. For example, if there is a need to increase the efficiency of the team without notifying the employees themselves, experienced managers use green - it is simply added to the interior or some kind of work equipment. It is no coincidence that the most common color of school desks is green - it promotes high concentration of attention. Knowing how a particular color affects others, you can also learn to manipulate this circumstance.
