In general, this is a life-affirming color, symbolizes joy and positive, maturity and fertility, it is intended to stimulate. In postauric vision, it is the complete opposite of blue.
How the yellow color affects a person can be described in two words: it calms nervous people (it is not for nothing that in mental hospitals it is a favorite color for decorating space), apathetic and depressed personalities - tones up, stimulates their creativity and their mental abilities.
If you know thoroughly how the yellow color affects the psyche of an adult or a child, you can successfully use it to correct the emotional state, health, mental abilities and mood. For adults and children, yellow shades of color have different effects. This is due to the degree of maturity of the psyche and its disorders.
The child itself is an immature person, all processes are at the stage of formation. Adults are a mature psychoemotional system, but they can be disturbed by various stresses, life situations. Therefore, it is impossible to say unequivocally what effect the yellow color will have on this or that person. It requires an individual approach and the help of a specialist.
How does yellow affect the psyche?
The sunny shade of yellow is a strong impetus for something new, it arouses the desire to do something. People surrounded by this light cannot sit still, they are driven by the desire to communicate, to create. To avoid the intense influence of yellow on the human psyche, do not decorate the bedroom, schools and childcare facilities in this color scheme.
But for the repair of a student room, study or kitchen - yellow and all its shades are just a godsend. It is categorically impossible to use this shade in the bedroom if you have insomnia, but if, on the contrary, it is difficult to wake up and feel constant sleepiness - add elements of bright yellow to the interior, the effect of yellow on the psyche in this case will be limited, it will add emotional activity and the desire to move ...
It is also not recommended to use a lot of yellow design elements in the children's room. This color should be present in the interior, but to a limited extent.
Yellow color influence on the psyche of a child and an adult
Children themselves are too impulsive and active. Yellow wallpaper, walls, interior elements will excite them even more. The same applies to the bedrooms of adults and children - in this room people relax and they don't need extra emotional activity.
Psychologists note that young children react very negatively to an excess of yellow, they begin to cry. But, not only small children give out a similar reaction, if an adult with an unbalanced psyche is placed in a yellow room - he loses restraint and control over himself, begins to live with his emotions.
Health effects of yellow
Want to use the positive effects of yellow? Remember that yellow, like orange, is an excellent appetite stimulant; it will help restore digestion processes, improve the work of the pancreas, stomach, and intestines.
But unlike orange, its effect is associated with an increase in the absorption of nutrients, especially on the absorption of calcium by the body, which means that it can indirectly influence the strengthening of the bone skeleton of the human body. If there is not enough yellow, then this can lead to disruptions in the work of the musculoskeletal system.
Experts have identified another beneficial effect of yellow shades of color: improving skin health, restoring elasticity, softness of the skin.
If you want to get a positive effect of yellow on the psyche, then use it to bring a person out of depression, relieve apathy and pessimistic moods.
