When choosing the color to paint the walls of your home, it is important to think beyond matching with furniture and decor. You also need to consider the emotions and sensations that each space should evoke, since both people and animals respond differently to the shades surrounding them.
Psychologist Bárbara Ayub, from the Psicointegral team, explains that there are different levels of response to colors. Some are more physiological, such as fear in response to the color red, and others are psychological, specific to human beings. According to her, the color of a wall does not only produce sensations, but something deeper: emotions, which can directly affect one's state of mind.
According to the specialist, it is possible to make a broad division between warm and cool colors to understand their effects on emotions. Warm colors, such as yellow and red, are more associated with fire and are considered stimulating.
