Most of you do... but, do you know which ones evoke which emotion? This fun  and useful information about just a few colors in the palette will help you use color to:  1. Counteract negative emotions  2. Encourage positive emotions  3. Look and feel your best.  GREEN: brings feelings of relaxation, happiness, comfort, peace and hope. It can be very healing emotionally to spend time looking at  green in nature. If you live in a climate where green "goes away" during winter look at beautiful pictures and videos during these months.  YELLOW: evokes feelings of energy, happiness and excitement. It is connoted with summer and sunshine. Soak it in whenever you can!  BLUE: induces a relaxing and calming effect. Think how you feel when sitting by the ocean watching and listening to the waves roll in... or  laying on your back staring up into the sky.  RED: brings thoughts of love and romance which evokes feelings of happiness and passion.  PURPLE: has always been connoted with royalty, but many connote it with laughter and children. Either way, it can make you feel good  when you see it or wear it. BLUE-GREEN: combines the wonderful emotions both blue and green evoke. Blue-green is a color that is becoming to nearly every skin  tone... so, where it with confidence!  YELLOW-GREEN: does NOT combine the wonderful emotions these two colors have separately. It often induce feelings of illness and  disgust. Few people can wear this color well. You need to be certain this is a color for you - if it is, you will turn heads.  Whether you just look at color or you wear color - it is a powerful tool. Use it wisely and freely.
