The influence of the colors on human behavior.

The influence of the colors (A.E. colours B.E.) on human behavior.

Firstly let’s understand what is COLOR – it depends on the different degrees on that various wavelengths of light stimulate the eye. Light may be perceived either as originating directly from a light source or as reflected light. White light is perceived as colorless because the eye is completely synchronized to the characteristics of such light, and only a neutral color sensation is stimulated by it. Color has so many meanings for different observers that a strict definition is difficult, if not impossible.

In other words, color PERCEPTION is the process of distinguishing varying ways in which points or homogeneous patches of light appear to a subject. The appearance may be described in terms of hue (red, orange, green, blue, yellow, and violet being the spectral colors or chromatic colors); saturation (from pure, through pastels or brown, to unsaturated, hue less grays); and lightness or brightness (blacks, through grays, to white or achromatic colors).

The next classification divides the chromatic colors into groups by tone, that is, all reds are together, all blues are together, and so on. In doing so, a continuous circle of overlapping hues is formed, ranging from red through orange to yellow, and then through green to blue and violet. Violet overlaps red, thus completing the circle.

As we gained knowledge that color is a sensation that is recognized when light falls on the retina of the eye. Let’s understand that other categories also study them and the Chemistry says that color is a quality concerning a pigment or a tone, the Physics may define color in terms of qualities such as the wavelength of light and its intensity and Psychology describes color in terms of visual perception. The psychologists say that “The color you decide wear in any situation—business, social or romantic — says a lot more about you than the words you speak”.

Well, we want to show you how the colors of the clothes may influence our performance. For this way, we have to realize that in old days you might have chosen your clothes without thinking about your goals. But now, knowing how other people react to certain colors, you certainly will dress them in order to obtain a valuable purpose and help yourself!!!

Red — says energy, power and passion. Red immediately attracts the eye and there is no way you cannot look at it. The red color is associated with sex and imaginary but you also suffer from ups and down.

Yellow — is anything but mature. The eyes see yellow faster than any other color. Yellow creates anxiety and makes you more stressed out but you’re spiritual and intelligent. You are always in high-astral, and enchant the people through where you pass. In the love, you know to seduce and how to make happy as nobody your friends. To feel yourself hold, you must be conviction of the feeling and of the friend's fidelity.  Only this way you surrender and live intensely the love.

Blue — is considered as friendly and approachable. Wearing the darker blues — royal blue and navy — in business situations can score you points. Very pale blue encourages fantasy and flights of the imagination and you’re tranquil and in peace with yourself.  When the subject is love, you are demanding and jealous. The fear being alone makes you diffuse at random in the foot of the kitten and fight without reason. 

Blue-green — is another emotionally pleasing color. In the darker tones, blue-green is associated with prestige and favored by the wealthiest 3% of  North–Americans . These colors, worn by police and armed forces, automatically express authority 

White — is associated with purity and chastity as well as with status. White looks good with virtually every color but worn alone it can signify a desire for freedom. Wearing a white suit or driving a white car implies that you can have enough money to keep your possessions immaculate.

Black — is not a friendly color and people are inclined not approach you in the daytime. But it complements all the female skin tones and has a fragile, thin, and slim effect and you put mystery in your life.

Green – you’re an optimist, well-adjusted joiner who likes the good things in life, including money. Certain, she is not afraid of the challenges that can paint and she knows how to face the front problems. You worry too much about money and, that, he/she leaves a sideways little the ballads and the encounters with the friends. When he/she loves, it is faithful and he/she does to maintain the passion and the affection with its pair of everything. 

Purple – artistic and creative, you may seem eccentric but your passion for expressing yourself impresses others.   

Silver – you’re secure and optimistic about doing financial success.

Brown – you’re conservative. Rather than act on impulse, you plan everything out carefully.

Beige – you have a strong sense of duty. You’re a stable person who tries to lead a productive life.

Gold – independent and showy, you’re a devil-may-care type (do tipo Deus dará) who’s likely to be flashy (ostentatious).

Clothes may make the man, but for women, color may have the equivalent effect, according to Hollywood designer Nolan Miller.
