    Color Psychology: Understanding How Color Choices Affects Our Behavior

    How does color affect mood? Wear the right colors to send powerful and mood-boosting messages. In this video, I am going to teach you the psychological effects of color on human behavior, and how colors affect mood and stress levels. Color specialist Leatrice Eiseman explains it best, as she says, “We have a repository of information about a color. For example, the color blue is almost always associated with blue skies, which when we are children is a positive thing — it means playing outside and fun. Evolutionarily, it also means there are no storms to come. This is why it reminds us of stability and calm.” In this video: 0:00 Intro 0:31 What does red mean? Passion 1:16 What does grey mean?
