Color has a profound impact on mood. Different colors can create different emotions, and when used correctly, color can be used to enhance the mood of any space. Color can have a big impact on the feel of a room, so it’s important to choose colors that create the mood you want. If you want a room to feel happy and bright, you would use different colors than if you wanted a room to feel calming and relaxing.

While personal preference plays a role in what colors someone may want to use in their home, it’s also important to consider the purpose of the space when choosing colors. For instance, using softer colors in a bedroom can help promote relaxation and sleep, while brighter colors in a kitchen or living room can help energize those spaces.

Here are some tips on how to use color in your home to create different moods.

It is said to promote creativity and imagination. Orange is a energetic color that is perfect for kitchens or playrooms. It is said to promote happiness and excitement.

Tertiary colors and their moods: brown, black, white
