When dealing with interpersonal relationships people’s personalities are a large part of how people get along. When you meet a new person you may say that you “hit it off” or that “you just clicked”; this is due to how each other’s personalities coincide with one another’s. People’s personalities are impacted by there surroundings. This paper will discuss how color affects people’s moods and personalities. All people are affected by their surroundings. Emily Landen after a pilgrimage to several third world countries stated, “The children were so malnourished that it made me physically ill to continue to be around them everyday.” This is just a brief example of how one’s surroundings can affect not only a person’s psychological health but their physical health as well. It is the findings of this author that subtle things like color can affect a person’s personality. At times in our busy lives it is sometimes easy to overlook some of the little things that may cause influence on how we interact with our wives and children. After much consideration value was found for the argument that there are influences on us daily by the colors that we surround our selves with. Interesting to thing that the color that we paint our rooms may influence whether or not we have a good day at work or whether or not we are in a great mood when we get home. The first known studies of color were done in ancient Greece by Aristotle, theorized that color existed in the form of rays sent down from the heavens by God. His theory was not disputed until the Renaissance when Aguilonius and Sigfrid Forsius developed more sophisticated color systems. Aguilonius's system was the first attempt at defining all colors and was based on his observations of the changing color of the sky from dawn to dusk The world is full of beautiful colors. Colors have subtle effects on our moods everyday. Psychologists have long since theorized that people's preferences for color and color mixes have deep physiological affects on you mood or feeling. In fact, research does suggest that color can affect your being and that your choice of color or combinations of color is significant to your mood.
An example of this is that healthy people will prefer colors and color mixtures that reflect their health both physically and mentally. Furthermore, your color preferences are not necessarily fixed and that they will vary even within a given day depending on your mood. An evaluation of what each color must be made.
