Why Chromotherapy Works
Light is an integral part of human life and color acts as a mood trigger, as well as a trigger for other psychological reactions. When light hits a surface, its wavelength changes and reveals its color, which helps indicate its significance to us. It’s an evolved trait for colors to have such profound effects on our mind and body. For example, bright fruit with saturated color is more appetizing than brown or pail-colored fruit because it indicates ripeness. When you look out at the deep blue ocean, you’ll feel calm. When the sun is setting with reds and oranges you feel energized. These effects are so significant that they’re often implemented to achieve an intended effect.
4 Proven Science-of-Color Cases:
- The restaurant industry discovered that people eat more food off of red plates and less off of blue ones (notice that most fast-food chains use red/orange/yellow coloring in their branding).
- Psych wards have changed their wallpaper color from pink to blue because it has a calming effect on their patients.
- Orange has been proven to inspire impulsive action, which is why e-commerce companies like Amazon, Alibaba, and Etsy use orange for their call to action buttons (“Add to Cart”, “Buy Now”, etc.) and branding.
- 95% of the world’s top 100 most recognized brands only use 1-2 colors to avoid diluting the intended reaction and maximize the brand’s recognition.
