QUIZ: Which colour best represents your true personality?
And why colour can be more powerful than you might think.
EVER FELT MORE energetic while you’re in a red room, or calmed by a blue one? The colour in your environment can have a very real impact. According to researchers from one study*, wall colours like green and white can even lower your perception of stress.
This even filters into your performance at the gym – one study** found that blue light lowers your heart rate. Elsewhere, another publication*** reports that colours such as orange, red and yellow cause us to think the room is warmer than it is (even potentially saving us money), so their impact can be powerful.
So, if your personality was a colour, what would it be, a mood-enhancing bright shade of yellow or a very stylish shade of dark grey? Find out in our quiz below.
