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.
