The Psychology of Colors

The psychology behind color has been well documented. Red makes you hungry, pink rooms calm you down, and green is very tranquil. Today’s infographic does a very good job of breaking down the primary and secondary colors that affect us the most and in what ways. The infographic starts off by informing the reader on what colors suit certain rooms the best. From there it goes more into the psychology of the primary colors, divulging a secret unknown to me. Babies don’t like yellow.

It also speaks on how companies use a given color to pull at our heartstrings and wallets for their own gain. Enjoy the infographic below and let us know your favorite color. I like purple. Have a nice day! [Via]

MY MOTHER

MY  MOTHER
When you feel you are alone in the Crowd,
When you Think No one can Understand you,
When your love is rejected by others,
& when you hate your Life,
Just Close your eyes,
& see,Her face who Loves you,
More than any one else,
Who Cares for you in loneliness,
& dies when you cry.She is no one else

But your Sweet Loving MOTHER.
Always Love your mom.

Happy Ganesh Chaturthi
