How Does Yellow Affect the Mind?
The things that might come to your mind when you see the color yellow are: • Sunshine • Warmth • Cheer • Happiness • Playfulness This is true because the color is associated with the sun. The sun wakes us up every morning, helps us stay warm, and feeds our crops! It is the source that we go to when we want to play and feel cheerful and relaxed! It is important to note that the sun is actually white in color; however, we perceive it as yellow because these colors contain higher wavelengths that are easily scattered by Earth’s atmosphere. Moreover, the color yellow has been used to improve seasonal affective disorder which is a type of depression that occurs when the seasons change and lack sunlight.
