Romantic Color Schemes
Joey Lewitin
Color has a very strong and subtle effect on our minds. Just looking at colors
can evoke powerful emotions in us. By carefully selecting the colors you use in
the decoration of your bedroom, you can influence the undercurrents of mood in
the space
Red is a very inspirational color that can evoke passion and desire.
Adding a red comforter or some red pillows to your bed can sometimes serve to
light a flame in your relationships. However, you should be careful not to let
the fire get out of control. Red also evokes aggressiveness and anger. Those
prone to such traits should avoid this color, especially in the bedroom.
Blues and greens are calming, intimate colors. Their use in a room may
serve to create a feeling of ease. Green is also historically a color associated
with fertility and marriage. In this way it may have a powerful potential to
inspire romance in the collective unconscious of a person.
Some colors you will probably want to avoid in an intimate bedroom are white,
grey, yellow, and pink. These colors can be used as accents, but their over
use may lead to certain side effects that you would want to avoid. White and
grey are considered to be very plain colors, and their predominance can create
an almost trance like state for people in a room. Yellow in large doses can
irritate eyes and cause nervousness. Pink will probably have a slightly
beneficial effect subconsciously. Generally pink causes people to feel calmer,
happier, and more romantic at a deep psychological level. However, due to
societal associations this color has been very heavily tied in to females. This
may cause a male in a relationship to feel uncomfortable in a room where this
color is dominant. These are, of course, only loose guidelines, and you should
refer to your own taste when making any decisions on which colors to choose in a
setting.
