Color affects our mindset.
Colors are well related to human behavior. Although in our busy lifestyle, we merely choose the color as per our strength, but it works continuously. Our mother nature has gifted us many things that help us to create ourselves. Even in our Vedas, there is the description of human lifestyle that focuses on balancing the four quadrants of life. These quadrants are- physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. Surprisingly along with other common factors, colors play a vital role in balancing these quadrants i.e., balancing life.
In human beings, like other senses, we have a great sense to see the object and to feel them. When we look at any object, the first thing that clicks our mind is the color. Then it gets associated with the thoughts. Based upon the color we decide many other things like liking or disliking, adoption or rejection, loud or soothing etc.
Colors affect our mind and soul to enhance the ability to make decisions carefully and cheerfully. The colors we choose reflect our inner personality and life’s approach. Vastu tells how to choose wall colors in accordance with the directions in order to reap rich outcomes in the form of good health, wealth, peace, progress and harmony.
