Psychology of colours – what colour we should choose?

Psychologists have proven that colours have a significant impact on our comfort and even our behavior! This is because seeing a particular colour, eye sends a nerve impulse to the brain, which in turn stimulates the corresponding organ to cause hormonal response. That is why it is very important for us when choosing colour to drew attention to its properties.
