INFLUENCE OF PAINT COLOURS

Colours are one of the accidental inventions of man. Initially, colours were used to differentiate properties from an individual to an individual and later it took a vital role in construction aspects to add on the aesthetics (home, religious constructions).When a variety of colours evolved, researchers examined several colours to conclude whether they could bring any negative impacts on humans (psychologically). So, they took help from newton’s colour dispersion prism theory and made research on colours. As a result of that research, a new term was developed known as “colour psychology”. According to colour psychology, each colour has the quality to reflect the mood of a person due to the different wavelength and density that each colour possesses. With this note, here are some of the interesting facts about the variety of colours that we see in our daily lives.
