Weird Facts: Colors

We all know colors. They are the spice of life. They come in various tonalities and intensities, and they fill our everyday with their simple, charming grace. As you might already know, colors have the ability to cause different reactions in us, like happiness or sadness. So today I'm gonna talk about the weird effects color has on us. Every color has bipolar effects, and I'm gonna show you how they are used to influence you subliminally.

RED: Our friend red here has many strong effects, and it immediately grabs our attention. Red conveys  aggravation, strength, anger. It symbolizes danger and makes us alert and hungry. On the positive side it conveys love, passion, speed and other powerful effects. Red is by far the most intense color, and the one that most impacts us subliminally. Red has been proven to increase our heart and breathing rate. Red also promotes quicker decision-making processes (due to the brain being in alert-mode).

Examples: 

• Red is used in fast food logos because it promotes hunger, and also shows speed. Red also incites quick decision-making and increases expectations, so it is also very much used at casinos.
• Red ties are often used by political leaders when they want to show strength and conviction, and when they want to get their points across. 
• Red increases the attraction of women (meaning men love women with red skirts)

BLUE: Our pal blue is smooth and relaxed. Blue conveys wisdom, trust, honesty, calm, and relaxation. Blue lets out calming hormones and whoever wears blue will seem like an ally, who is saying the truth and is a wise person. Blue on the other hand, can also convey sadness and depression if used in the correct situation.

Examples:

• Blue dyes convey comfort and relaxation, making you feel good. This is why Twitter's, Facebook's, Intel's, Samsung's, and Hp's logos are blue.
• Blue ties are often wore by political leaders when they want to show credibility, trustworthiness, "everything is allright", and "I'm your ally".
• Men that wear blue are more attractive to women, because they show honesty and trustworthiness.

GREEN: Green symbolizes nature, protection, home. We used to live under the canopy of the trees so I supppose this makes sense.

Examples:

• Green dyes, similarly to blue dyes, convey relaxation and peace. Green is often used to symbolize nature and organic things.
• Babies that sleep in green-painted rooms are less prone to crying, since they feel more safe.

Other colorful facts:

• Babies cry more often if they sleep on yellow rooms. Specialists believe that since we lived under the canopy of the trees, the sun would mean we were not protected by foliage, so babies would scream to alert. Remember this is your reptile brain and your subconscious working.

• The least liked colors by both males and females are brown, orange, and purple, so try to avoid these colors (brown can work for certain clothing and details).

There's a lot to colors, and an obscene amount of subliminal messaging going on, so be careful on what you chose to wear today, because you might unknowingly be changing what people think about you.
