For example, cool colors are good for sunny, southern exposures, while warm colors work well in rooms that do not get direct sunlight. RED increases heart rate and blood pressure, producing feelings of energy, intimacy, passion and sexuality. Yellow makes people feel happy, although bright yellow can have an agitating effect. Greens remind us of natural settings, and are thus relaxing and easy on the eyes.
Greens are also good for institutional settings such as hospitals, workplaces and schools.
The rose family of colors tends to be received more favorably. May be used in children's rooms and play areas. To make a room seem larger, use a light, monochromatic color scheme. Several light hues from one color family may visually expand a room. If the ceiling seems too low, paint it bright white, or paint vertical stripes on the walls.
