The psychology of paint colours.ĭon’t worry, I’m not going to put my lab coat on and start analysing you (!), but there is an exact science to choosing the right colour for your home and each colour can trigger certain reactions, conscious or subconscious, in the brain, and can affect how we feel, and how others feel when they look at our paint work. With modern paint technology and the development of new pigments, dyes and additives, the colours available to the home decorator are almost limitless. When choosing paint for your home, it is important to get the colour right first time because there is nothing worse than finishing painting a room, for example, and once the paint dries it looks terrible and you wish you had never done it! The colours of our house, inside and outside, can make or break the house, especially if you are trying to sell it.Ĭhoosing the wrong colour can also cause headaches (seriously) and according to the ancient art of Feng Shui, a poor colour choice can also make the house “feel” wrong.
