Can Color Change How You Feel?

How can the mindful use of color change the overall feeling in your space? What kinds of emotions do different colors evoke?

Every color has the potential to be beautiful in the context of harmonious combination, and certain color ways can be employed to curate a different look or feel in your space. Intentional use of color has the power to change the mood of a room’s occupants, hopefully, for the better.
