Why are people attracted to certain colors?
October 31st, 2009 | by admin |During ice-breakers or personality quizzes the question of "what is your favorite color" always seems to end up popping up. Almost every person has their go to response, but what is the basis for this favoritism towards certain hues. Does "color therapy" and holistic healing practices dealing with color associations have any analytical evidence that proves its validity? What makes people associate colors with feelings (I.E; a light green painted room spawns creativity)?
Long ago the Hebrews used the word colors for eyes. This gives a different and deeper meaning to the saying, "A king scattereth away all evil with his eyes". I believe the "attraction" has to do with the evolving spirituality of a person, and their eyes or colors significant of spiritual abilities. This gets complicated but not without understanding. I think it was Mozart or perhaps Beethoven who sat in front of a violet curtain when composing. Analytical evidence? Don’t know of any. It perhaps falls into the struggle between materialism and spiritually intuited truths.
