With many research articles suggesting that colours can effect peoples emotions I thought that it would be a good idea to look at the meaning of all of these colours and see what they actually mean. Below is a brief description on how the colours can be related to emotions:
Cool colours - Blue, Green, Turquoise, Gray, Silver, White
These colours can have two effects. In some ways they are classed as cold and impersonal on the other hand they also relate to calm, peaceful and tranquil. Cool colours are usually overpowered if laid against a warm colour though though some people say that these cool colours bring a room a nurturing feel.
Warm Colours - Red, Pink, Yellow, Gold, Orange
Like cool colours warm colours have two different effects. On one side of the spectrum these warm colours can represent excitement and have a vibrant appeal when looked at. Although these striking colours can also trigger violence, anger and danger.
With colours representing different emotions this could maybe help me suss out what children are relating to when participating in my colouring activity.
