Colours and how they affect us

What colours does one wear during winter? Why does everything have to be dark and dreary? why not brighten things up with colour and pizazze?  Instead of  blacks and  greys , choose reds and pinks, even  bright yellows.
  The colours we choose to surround ourselves with greatly affect our moods and sometimes even choices.


 I was searching through some blogs  on colour and their meanings. I found some of these on a few  blogs..  Its a very interesting topic. Id say research it some on your own. I know that one year I had a  deep purple  paint on one of  the walls in my apartment. Whenever I walked by that wall a deep calmness surrounded my essence. It wwas awsome.  I love purple, so i really odn't know if the same colour would affect everyone in the same way. Try it!  Find a colour you love. See  how it affects you and your life!
