With so many colours to choose form, it can be daunting to know what colour to add to your home. This quick guide tells you all about the meaning of colours, so you can decide what you want to say with what colours.
WARM COLOURS
The colours of sunrise and dawn — yellows, oranges and reds. They frequently inspire people to act and be motivated.
Red: Passion, love, importance, flame
Yellow: Sunshine, hope, joy, neutral gender
Orange: Energy, creative, change (frequently associated with Autumn), health and vitality.
COOL COLOURS
Blues, purples, and even green fall under the “cool” colours category. They traditionally evoke a sense of soothing calm, and can be used to create a relaxed feel in a room.
Blue: Strength, calmness, reliable, melancholy
Purple: Royalty (was frequently reserved for the upper echelons of ancient Roman society), luxury, romance, imagination.
Green: Nature, harmony, newness and wealth
NEUTRAL COLOURS
These are the colours typically used as the background or base of a design. They complement most of the above colours, and can be used in conjunction to help the other colours stand out bolder. They can still be powerful statements on their own, or combined with other neutral colours.
Black: Power, formality, elegance.
White: Purity, virtue, simplicity
Grey: Modern, professional, conservative
Tan/Biege: Adaptable, conservative, simplicity
