Is there a colour that you find relaxing?


Question:Mine is blue. Or lilac. Both of these colours seem to help me relax. Do you have a relaxing colour?

Answers:
Although it goes against all the psychology of colours...I love a pale, butter yellow. I find it calming and soothing. Balanced out with blue and white florals...it is the most appealing and relaxing for me. Whenever I look through magazines, I am immediately drawn to that colour scheme...and having now incorporated into into my kitchen...for a french country feel...I can say that it makes me smile every time I sit there.


I find olive green very relaxing.
Cant beat a tan color for calming and relaxing
Mine is Green just like FindHomeAnswers, more lighter though. But color selection always depends on what you want to do with it. A color on furniture may not look good on a big wall, like wise.
I love light apple green. It's pleasant and bright.
I find light blues, or sandy white colors very relaxing in a room. Quite calming. Dark colors tend to make me feel kind of down, and tired.
Forest green is the most relaxing color for me.
Periwinkle blue is quite nice, too.
I use those colors in my bedroom.
very pale blue, like ice blue, its very cooling and relaxing for me.
There is definitely psychology behind color. The most relaxing colors are as follows but not definitely in this order:

light blue
lilac
pink
soft olive green
