The effects of colors in our lives

Kylie Minogue, a pop singer diagnosed with breast cancer, dreams of healing by painting her hospital room in pink. Famous stars find peace with color therapy. Healthy living expert Işık Kyrgyz commented on healing colors.

Did you know that each color has energy? He said that color therapy started to be applied hundreds of years ago in the Far East. He believes that the right color has a healing effect on many diseases.

Famous pop star Kylie Minogue, who was diagnosed with breast cancer, painted her hospital room pink for surgery and adorned it with pink objects from start to finish. Britney Spears, who was pregnant with her first child, also appeared in pink in her last video. So much so that the seat of the Hummer Jeep was pink. The energy of this color lies beneath the fact that both stars prefer pink.

Pink, the color of emotion and pure love, which reinforces dreams and sense of protection, also has the feature of relieving pain. Color therapy; It provides relaxation in mental, physical, spiritual and emotional sense by establishing the balance and energy of colors with the body. This therapy has a long history.

The therapy, which was introduced in Tibet, hundreds of years ago in the Far East, has moved into a more scientific pot and it has been revealed that color wavelengths have serious effects on the human body. It is determined that the colors that people wear and use in their daily lives reveal their moods and describe their lifestyles.

ORANGE SOURCE
Healthy living expert Işık Kyrgyz says that in order to benefit from colors, it is necessary to know their meaning and place in life: ız We should look at colors not only as tones in our lives, but as the energy it gives us. Every color has meaning. Because they all have different wavelengths. Since they have different wavelengths, they carry different energy. For example, white, which is the source of all colors, is the unfolding of facts about life. ”

Kyrgyz says that those who have some problems or who do not want to get out from under the quilt should wear orange or red, and they tell us that these colors will load the energy they carry. Depressed, tense, angry in cases of red and orange should not be used.

Colors play an active role in purifying and cleansing the body and health. For example, if high blood pressure or high temperature blue is used, a decrease in blood pressure and fever is observed. It also reduces blue bleeding in extreme bleeding. Red blood pressure, circulatory disorders, joint pain, weight problems; Helping to think or use yellow in lazing the intestine.

Pink is a soothing color that alleviates pain. You don't have to wear an outfit of that color to take advantage of the energy of colors. According to the Kyrgyz, you can get the energy of that color by thinking of a stone, object or just.

WEIGHT LOSS
The ”biophoton” treatment filters applied by Işık Kyrgyz also promise to get rid of the problems by using the colors. Biophotons, which use natural light as the mechanism and the body's own energy, are composed of various color waves. Biophotons used by adhering to the body, wrinkles, spots, cellulite, the body provides the disappearance of serious pain. Those with migraine stick to migraine points. The color waves in the biophotons slowly relax the veins and the body relaxes. Thus, for example, migraine pain disappears after a while. Biophotons also give 90 percent success in quitting smoking.

Europeans also carry anti-stress biophotons in their bags and remove them during stressful moments and stick them to stress points. Those who take advantage of the energy of colors and know which color to use in their current situation lead a much easier life. Healthy living specialist Isik Kyrgyz, this application can not substitute for medical treatment; it is just supportive therapy.

All color waves in nature have energy. It is assumed that these energies taken from colors also affect one's psychology.
ORANGE A cheerful color. Extraversion, vitality and excitement stimulate sexuality.

BLUE Color of intuition. It reinforces inner serenity, love, peace, calm and peace.

RED Revitalizing effect. It stimulates motivation, energy, enthusiasm and joy of life, warmth and love, blood pressure and body temperature.

BLACK Color of strength and individuality. It is active in passion, ambition, stubbornness and opposition.

Avoid black at home
When used correctly, colors affect our lives positively. Light warns that Kyrgyz should not be tied to a color for a long time. For example, if you use blue constantly, you will start to feel lazy and stagnant, and using red all the time will cause you to have an aggressive mood. But that doesn't mean you'll be deprived of a favorite color for a long time. For example, if you love blue, you can balance it with orange. It's like using orange accessories with your blue-colored outfit…

Kyrgyz warns that the bedroom should not be decorated with black and red colors. Because after a while, these colors disrupt your soul balance and cause you to have a depressed mood.

HUZUR PASTEL IN TONES

Kyrgyz, black and red lovers of these colors trinket, lampshade, paintings, such as objects would be more accurate to use, he says. On the walls, furniture or general decoration of the houses, lilac, blue, green and pink are the most important colors that should be preferred.

The amazing effects of colors on us physically and spiritually

Perhaps most of us do not even pay attention to the colors we encounter during the day and the effect they make on us, but the great impact of colors on our mood, behavior and emotions is being applied consciously today by many artists, designers and brands.
Colors, which are a more powerful communication tool than we think, can be used to create psychological reactions and affect mood. For example; in traffic, the yellow light before the red light has a stimulating effect on us; however, there is a specific reason for the use of yellow in signs or direction lines in subways. When we see the yellow color, our brain warns us that there is something we need to pay attention to. But the effect of colors on us is not only linked to universal reasons.

Your feelings about colors are also deeply linked to your personal experience and the culture you come from. For example; In many Western countries, white is the color of purity and innocence, while in some Eastern countries it is considered the symbol of mourning. Or to give an example from history; In the past, purple was considered the symbol of nobility.

What are the psychological effects of colors?

Although the perception of colors is actually subjective, some colors have universal effects. The colors in the red part of the color spectrum are known as warm colors and are composed of red, orange and yellow. These warm colors can stimulate many extreme emotions, from hatred to love, from sincerity to anger.

The amazing effects of colors on us physically and spiritually
The blue part of the spectrum is known as cold colors and consists of blue, purple and green. Although these colors often evoke peace, they also bring to mind feelings of sadness, insensitivity or coldness.

The use of color psychology in therapy

Many ancient cultures have applied chromotherapy or used color to improve people. Chromotherapy is sometimes called light therapy or color science and it is still used as an alternative treatment today. In this method:

Red is used to stimulate the body and mind and to accelerate circulation,

Yellow is thought to stimulate the nerves and to purify the body,

Orange is used to treat lungs and increase energy levels,

Blue is believed to alleviate diseases and relieve pain,

Indigo tones are thought to reduce skin problems.

Current research on color psychology and its results

Research has shown that in many cases, the mood-altering effects of colors predominate only temporarily. For example, a yellow room creates tension and stress at first, but this effect is not long-lasting. Nevertheless, research reveals that colors affect people in more ways than one might think:

- Anecdotal evidence suggests a reduction in crime rates in areas where blue lighted street lamps are installed.

- Ambient temperature can be effective in color preferences. People in warm places tend to say that their favorite colors are cold colors, while those in cold places can choose warm colors.

The amazing effects of colors on us physically and spiritually
- Research also indicates that certain colors have an impact on performance. It is observed that exposing students to red light before an exam affects students' success in the exam.

- Recent studies have found that red causes people to move faster and more strongly. Use of information in athletic activities will benefit.

The effects of colors on us are still being investigated in detail by many scientists.

How do colors affect us?

Do colors really affect our minds and bodies?

How do colors affect us?

“Red accelerates the heartbeat. Sıklık You often hear these and other claims that different colors affect the human body and mind. Is there any scientific evidence or data to support these claims? We know what the physiological mechanisms underlying human vision of color are, but we also began to understand and discover that colors have separate non-visual effects.

We know that the eye performs two tasks just as we do in our ears that support our sense of balance. Cone cells in the back of the eye, known as photosensitive cells in the retina, primarily transmit electrochemical signals to the visual cortex, the brain region where the images we see are generated. However, we know that some retinal ganglion cells react to light by sending signals to the hypothalamus, a central brain region that has no role in image formation.

NO LIGHT IMAGES

The hypothalamus is the brain region responsible for the secretion of a number of hormones involved in controlling the body's self-regulation, such as temperature, sleep, hunger, and circadian rhythms. Exposure to light in the morning, and particularly exposure to blue / green light, suppresses melatonin secretion by triggering the secretion of the hormone cortisol, which stimulates us and allows us to wake up. In the evening, since the amount of blue light from the Sun is diminished, we start melatonin secretion and feel sleepy.

The retinal cells that form a visual pathway between the eye and the hypothalamus are selectively sensitive to the low wavelengths (blue and green) of the visible spectrum of light. This means; color and light; It is clearly the existence of an existing physiological mechanism in which it can affect mood, heart rate, alertness, and impulsivity.

For example, this visual pathway that does not create an image in the hypothalamus is thought to be the cause of seasonal mood disorder, a mood disorder that affects some people during the dark winter months.

Similarly, there is scientific research that exposure to bright, short wavelength light, especially at bedtime, can increase wakefulness and ultimately affect sleep quality. Decreases in sleep quality are now common and are associated with increasing risk factors such as obesity, diabetes and heart disease. It is known that smartphones and tablets, which are used at night and emit blue / green light with wavelengths that suppress melatonin secretion, can affect sleep quality and prevent us from sleeping. This is an effect of blue / green light, but we need more research to support the claims of other colors.

EXPOSURE TO COLORS

A survey conducted in 2015 found that colored light had a small effect on heart rate and blood pressure. According to research data, the red light accelerates the heartbeat while the blue light slows down.

In 2009, blue lights were installed at the end of platforms on Tokyo's Yamanote railway line to reduce suicide. Following the placement of these lights, suicides decreased by 74%, and similar practices were applied at the train stations at Gatwick Airport, England. These practices were based on the claim that blue light can make people less stimulated and calmer, but there is little scientific evidence to confirm these claims, and the three-year study of the effect of colored lighting on impulsivity has not been reached. On the other hand, the colors; Similar studies are underway to explore creativity, impact on students' classroom learning and sleep quality.

The Invisible Effect of Light (Colors) on Our Body

We can often feel that colors have different effects on the human body and mind. For example, red color excites people or blue calms. Is there data or scientific research to support this claim?

We've known for a long time how the physiological mechanism that makes man see nature in color works for a long time, but in recent years we have begun to discover a new pathway that can illuminate the invisible effect of light.

Just as the ears have an effect on maintaining our balance, our eyes have two different functions. Cone and rod cells in our retina are responsible for our vision. Stick cells allow us to see around us and cone cells allow us to perceive colors. Our cone cells produce electrochemical signals for the light it perceives to go to the brain region where visual images will occur, and these signals are transmitted to the brain through the nerve cells (Ganglion cells) in our eyes. However, some ganglion cells in the retina also signal to the hypothalamus, which has no role in visualization. It is through this non-visual pathway that we can understand how light affects our psychology and physiology. But we are at the beginning of this road yol

There Is Light But Not The Image

The hypothalamus plays a role in regulating body temperature, sleep and hunger, as well as in the secretion of hormones.

If we were exposed to morning light (especially if it is a light with blue / green color), this light allows us to awaken cortisol hormone secretion, but it prevents melatonin secretion. Melatonin is the hormone secreted in the dark and regulates the body's sleep patterns. In the evening, the opposite effect occurs with the decrease of blue light and melatonin hormone is released and the person enters sleep.

Retinal cells between the eye and the hypothalamus, which do not form an image, are sensitive to the wavelengths of visible light. With this, we can say that light or color can affect our mood, speed up the heartbeat, or activate us. For example, as a result of these stimuli to the hypothalamus, we may enter into different moods periodically or even indirectly affect our own health. For example, we may be in a depressed mood when the weather is closed. Spending time in short wavelength lights can increase our alertness and adversely affect our sleep quality. The fact that technological products such as smartphones, tablets and computers emit more blue / green light may prevent our sleep by preventing the secretion of the hormone melatonin. Poor sleep quality is known to increase the risk of obesity, diabetes and heart disease.

Color Experience

A group of researchers at the University of Leeds conduct research to understand the effects of light on human behavior and psychology in their research on color experience. In this system called Experience Design, a room is filled with a colored light of any wavelength.


This group of recent research has found that colored light has a small effect on heart rate and blood pressure. It showed that red light accelerates the heart rate slightly and blue light slows the heart rate. Prior to this, blue lights were installed to reduce suicides on railways in Tokyo, and suicides were reduced by 74% in these areas.

Such measures on some railways are based on the claim that blue light is less disturbing and soothing to people, but there is not enough scientific evidence to support this claim. Although a study conducted by Nicholas Ciccone from the same university did not find any definite evidence of the effect of colored light on people's psychology, similar studies continue on creativity of colors, better learning of students in class and improving sleep quality. Light, especially colors, can carry us beyond normal vision.

Thanks to the discovery of this visual pathway that does not create an image, the research that tries to understand how we react psychologically and physiologically to the colors around us has gained momentum.

Color Psychology and Its Effects on People

Color psychology is the study of how colors affect human behavior, mood or physiological processes. Colors are thought to affect our buying options, feelings and even memories. Ideas related to color psychology are applied extensively in marketing and design. Companies choose colors that they believe will motivate customers to buy their products and increase brand awareness.

Color Perception

Color psychology is a relatively new field of study that faces various challenges. An important challenge when investigating this issue is to determine the actual measurement of the effects of color. The perception of color is very subjective, because there are different ideas and reactions about the colors of different people. Some factors that affect color perception make it difficult to determine whether color alone affects our emotions and actions.

Most psychologists point out that the claimed effects of color are often extremely exaggerated. Colors have different meanings in different cultures. Research has shown that in many cases, the mood-altering effects of color can only be transient. A blue room may initially cause you to feel calm, but the effect will soon dissipate.

However, current research has found that colors can affect people in a variety of surprising ways. For example;
One study found that warm colored placebo pills were more effective than cold colored placebo pills.
Another study suggested that the installation of blue street lamps could lead to reduced crime in these areas.
Researchers have discovered that red causes people to react faster and more demanding, something that can be useful during sporting activities.
Factors affecting color perception include age, gender, and culture. In some cultures, e.g. white is associated with happiness and purity. This is why the effect of white wedding dress. For someone from a different culture, wearing white can mean sadness. Because in this culture, white is associated with grief and death. These and similar factors should be considered when investigating the effect of colors on human emotions and behaviors.

Color Relations

While there is no direct cause and effect relationship between color and behavior, there are some generalizations that colors and symbolize. Colors such as red, yellow and orange are considered warm colors and arouse exciting emotions.

Red

It is the longest wavelength of light in the light spectrum. In Western cultures, red is associated with power, control and power. It also indicates danger and triggers alertness. The red on the traffic lights signals the drivers to trip and stop. Some animals have red colors to show that they are dangerous and deadly.

Red points to aggression as well as passion. Red is thought to increase the metabolism and blood pressure needed to prepare for action in an alarming situation.

blue

It is associated with calmness and tranquility. Logic is the symbol of communication and intelligence. It is associated with low stress, low temperature and low pulse rate. Blue is often chosen as the most popular color in research surveys worldwide.

In addition, blue light resets our sleep-wake cycles. They are blue wavelengths from the sun that prevent the pineal gland from releasing melatonin during the day. Melatonin tells the body that it's time to sleep. The blue light warns us to stay awake.

Yellow

It is a bright color and most visible to the eye. Happiness is associated with friendship and expresses competence. Yellow is the color of optimism and creativity. It draws our attention and shows attention when black is often used along with yellow on traffic signs, taxis and school buses. Interestingly, yellow is also associated with fear, cowardice and disease.

Green

It is located between yellow and blue in the light spectrum and represents the balance. It is the color of spring and is often associated with growth, life, fertility and nature. Green represents security and is linked to prosperity, wealth, good fortune and finance. It is considered a relaxing, soothing color that is thought to have a calming effect and relieve stress. Green and negative connotations include greed, jealousy, apathy and drowsiness.

Orange

It is found between red and yellow in the light spectrum. The combination of high-energy color red and emotionally rising color yellow is thought to symbolize the qualities. Orange is associated with warmth, enthusiasm and courage.

It is also thought that orange increases hunger and increases appetite and increases mental activity. Studies have shown that exposure to orange light increases cognition and alertness. Orange is the main color of autumn and is also associated with summer. Dark tones are fraudulently defined, while light orange tones are welcome.

Purple

It is the shortest wavelength in the light spectrum. It is a combination of blue and red. It represents nobility, power and copyrights. Purple conveys value, quality and sense of value. It is also associated with spirituality, holiness and elegance. Light purple colors represent romance and refinement, while dark purple symbolizes sadness, fear and attention.

Pink

It is the color most associated with femininity. It depends on the ideas of happiness, love, volatility and warmth. Pink is also about harmony and intimacy. Light pink represents sensitivity and kindness, while hot pink represents passion and flirtatiousness. Pink is thought to have a calming effect. Negative associations with pink color include immature, physical weakness and low self-confidence.

Black

Absorbs all wavelengths of the light spectrum. It does not reflect color and adds different shades of color by adding black to a color. Black is seen as mysterious and associated with fear, death, unknown and evil in many cultures. It also represents power, authority and sophistication. Black expresses seriousness and independence and is often associated with sadness and negativity.

White

It is anti-black and reflects all wavelengths of visible light spectrum. In Eastern cultures, white is associated with grief and death. It represents purity, innocence and infertility in Western cultures. White is also associated with security, spirituality and belief. Negative associations with white, isolation, gap and inaccessibility.

PSYCHOLOGY AND COLOR

The Effect of Color in Psychology
The color created by light is a kind of energy. This energy affects both body functions and our minds and emotions. Although the basic organ of vision is the eye, studies have also said that the brain actually sees it. The image is taken by millions of nerve endings in the retinal layer of the eye and transmitted to the center of vision in the brain and the image is detected. Nowadays, with advanced technology studies, we know that color affects brain waves, autonomic nervous system, hormonal activity and arouses various emotions. So, our reaction to a color is both physiological and psychological.

There's a connection between the brain and human behavior. Stimulating the brain can make people happy, angry, sad, anxious. Central nervous system, the central control center of human behavior. According to research, each stimulus received by nerve cells affects the brain stem and then the whole nervous system. People are exposed to many stimuli during the day, including most vision. These stimuli can be more or less.
(Mahnke, 1993)

The Effect of Color in Psychology
From Past to Present
Some Research
Colors affect body functions, mind and emotions with the energy produced by light. Studies have shown that colors benefit brain development, creativity, productivity and learning.

In 1875, the European doctor Ponza experimented with colored windows, colored walls and colored furniture in various rooms. The colors he used were red and blue. A man who refused to eat for days wanted to eat. An aggressive patient entering the blue room also calmed down over a 1 hour period.

In 1942, Goldstein studied the effect of color on organisms, studied patients, and observed which color had a positive and negative effect. One of his most important studies is about Parkinson's patients. Red has made the pathological problem worse in parkinson's patients, green has improved and corrected it. Patients with brain damage also reacted negatively to red.

In 1957, red had a more stimulating effect on visual activity and autonomic nervous system functions than on blue.

In 1974, K.W. Jacobs and F.E. Hustmyer noted that red is more stimulating than green and blue and yellow. According to this study, long wavelength colors are more stimulating than short wavelength colors. According to these studies, leaving a person in a red room is to ensure that a person is constantly exposed to stimulation, but the effect is not a permanent effect that is permanent. When he leaves the red room, after a while, his body reactions return to normal.

Excessive stimulation creates changes in breathing, pulse, blood pressure, muscle tension. Incomplete stimulation can also cause restlessness, insomnia, excessive reaction to emotional reactions, impaired concentration, and irritability. For example, the fact that the medium is completely white is incomplete stimulation and, contrary to what is known, does not produce a balanced, neutral effect.

In 1976, Rikard Kuller showed that colors affect not only the outer layer of the brain, but the entire central nervous system.

It has been shown in studies that colors change the alpha brain wave. Men and women react differently to colors according to systems that measure EEG and pulse rates. When color is transmitted from the eye to the brain, the brain secretes a hormone that affects emotions, mental clarity and energy level. According to the combinations of colors can have negative or positive psychological effects on people.

In 1981, Ashler showed that color had a major impact on EEG and heart rate, and on emotional perceptions of subjects.

COLOR AND LIGHT

Color is a feeling that adds excitement and enthusiasm to our lives. When we look around, there is color everywhere the eye sees. A world without color would have been incredibly seedy.

But to understand the color you need to know the light. It is not possible to speak of color in a place without light. If there is no light, there is no color. Color is a visible light effect. We call each of the emotions that occur in our eyes from the reflected rays after the light hits the objects.

The word color has passed from the Persian word rang / reng into our language and has carried the meanings of paint, blood, and shame over time.

Colors
People
How does it affect?
Colors; blood pressure, breathing, digestion, body temperature and brain activity causes different physiological responses. According to neuropsychologist Kurt Goldstein, even the visually impaired, due to the dermo optic vision on their skin, give different physiological responses in different colored lights. Color blind and blindfolded people were also able to distinguish between color and shapes. Electromagnetic (infrared, radio waves) under the red color and wavelengths on the violet (ultraviolet, Xray, gamma rays) have physiological effects. There is evidence of the effects of electromagnetic waves on our health. This evidence is the result of studies with melatonin and serotonin. These hormones are secreted from the pituitary gland in the brain. Research has shown that parts of the brain react not only to light but also to different wavelengths (colors). Different colors interact differently with the endocrine system to stimulate or reduce the hormone.

Light Effect
Since children spend most of their time at home after school, color and light in schools have a significant impact on children.

One of the most important characteristics of a class is lighting. It allows you to see many different elements. (Fielding, 2000; Lyons, 2003) Creating an appropriate visual environment for learning materials requires emphasis on that work. The visual environment affects the student's ability to perceive the visual stimulus, idea, thought, attitude and performance. Dunn (1985) insisted that the light of a school is one of the most effective and decisive elements of the entire education system. He found the psychological effects of good lighting rather than aesthetics. Luckiesh and Moss (1940) found that the test results of 5th and 6th grade students were better in a well-lit classroom than a poorly-lit classroom. According to Philips (1997), there is a direct link between good lighting and student performance. According to Rouner (1982), lighting is so important that they increase the bright light around the person even in seasonal mood changes. Poor lighting, restlessness and discomfort.
