White is the best reliever of pain. Silver is the color of peace and persistence. It is the major purging color so it is very good for removing unwanted diseases and troubles from the body. It is best for cancer of tissue and blood. Gold is the strongest color to help cure all illness. It is so strong that many people are not able to tolerate it, so people have to be conditioned to gold over a period of time. Gold strengthens all fields of the body and spirit. Black: is a color that is not used very often but it will help bring a patient to a state of grace. It will help them reach the silence and the peace of God. For example, women are more aware of color and prefer red to blue while men prefer blue to red. Elderly people have a significant preference for light colors over darker ones. People with schizophrenia tend to prefer neutral colors such as white, black, brown, and gray. People with bipolar disorder and mentally healthy individuals tend to prefer chromatic hues such as red, yellow, green and blue. Red and yellow aren't the only warm colors; nor are blue and green the only cool ones. There are warm and cool versions of all colors. It depends on what other hues a color contains. Green with more blue in it will seem cooler than a green with more yellow. Often, more might be just a few drops of a cool or warm color. Nowhere can this be better seen that in the great variety of white paints. Cool whites have the slightest bluish or purplish cast, while warm whites might carry a tinge of pink, yellow, red, or orange. These little differences in quantity can make a big difference in the way a color is perceived. The definition of color is different depending on the culture that a person lives in. What may indicate danger in our culture may indicate extreme joy in another culture. I have found in my research that many colors have different meanings in different places. In broad way hues in the red area of the color wheel are called Òwarm, Ó while those in the blue and green range are referred to as Òcool. Ó these terms are relative rather than absolute.
Faber Birren defines this commonalty of the colors of the spectrum by associating each with two moods. The warm colors are active and exciting such as a red and its neighboring hues. The cool colors, which are passive and calming, are blue, violet and green. Likewise, light colors are active, while deep colors are likely to be passive. Modern researchers in Japan put their finger on this point precisely. For example, Choku Akashi (1986) demonstrates a number of his research results, which imply that red is often felt to be active and may be connected in some circumstances with aggressive. In contrast to the warm colors, the cool colors are inactive or passive. Faber Birren said Òthe rather strong observation is to be made that division of the spectrum into warm and cool colors holds very evident and simple meaning with reference to human personality. Indeed, though the conclusion may be largely empirical, warmth and coolness in color are dynamic qualities, warmth-signifying contact with environment, and coolness signifying withdrawal into oneself. In conclusion, emotionally the red is exciting the blue is subduing. Physically and physiologically, the same sort of complementation exists. Red colors tend to increase bodily tension, to stimulate the autonomic nervous system, but green and blue colors release tension and have a lesser physiological effect. It is to be granted, of course, that direct connections exist between the brain and the body and that reactions take place independently of thought or deliberation. As with everything else the interpretation of color is dependent upon the culture in which someone is raised. There are many things in the world that is like this. In one culture a woman is thought of as more beautiful the more she weighs, however in the American culture there is much pressure on women to be thin. There are many examples related to men as well. One such example comes from the village of Zumbadia. Men are expected to paint their bodies with the blood of the animals that they kill.
The more blood they have on their bodies when they return from a hunt the more respected they are. In America is a man were to come back from hunting covered in blood he would most likely be arrested and put into jail. From the colors on different countries flags you can see what colors are important to for each country pride. In America red, white, and blue have a certain type of significance. When a person wears these colors here they may feel a certain sense of internal pride. Proud of the nation in which they live and proud of how much our forefathers have accomplished.
In chromo therapy, red is believed to stimulate physical and mental energies, yellow to stimulate the nerves, orange to stimulate the solar plexus and revitalize the lungs, blue to soothe and heal organic disorders such as colds, hay fever, and liver problems, and indigo to counteract skin problems and fevers. Most people have skeptical opinion about color healing; however, the medical profession makes use of color in certain treatments. For instance, premature babies with jaundice are cured by a chemical reaction triggered by exposure to blue light for several days. The relation between blue light and jaundice is beginning to be well understood scientifically. The research has shown that there is direct correlation between color and personality. In planning the next painting of ones house they should take this data into account.
