Characteristic of Colours - Red, Orange, Yellow

So, though at the first sight a colour is just a colour, and a rose is just a rose, in fact, colour signals are much more complex. And as soon as you comprehend all hues of colour signals, you'll be able not only to interpret them but also to manipulate them. You'll be able to use colour signals to form certain impression and receive desirable respond.

First, let us consider signals of basic spectrum colours - red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet. After that we will turn to more neutral colours - white, gray, black, beige and brown.

Each colour sends more than one signal. Some colours send positive signals, the others send negative ones.

We will discuss both positive and negative colours.

RED

Among the spectrum colours, red causes the most intensive physiological reaction - i.e. speeding up the heart-beating. Red colour won't allow you to pass by, it attracts attention and controls situation. In all world cultures with the development of the language red acquire its name in the first place after white and black.

Let's talk about the conception of "warm" colours. Red is the main warm colour. Sometimes it really create the sense of warmth. The room with walls painted red (or, at least, pink) requires less heating, the a room painted cold colour, for example, blue. During many years red colour was used for festive table-cloth, because it aroused warm feeling and warmed those sitting at the table.

In wild nature red colour is the colour of abundance, the colour of ripe berries and tomatoes, the colour of rubies and garnet, the colour of poppy and puansettiya. Don't forget that it is also the colour of blood, hence - the colour of religious sacrifice, the colour of the heart and flame.

Red produces strong emotions. The character of these emotions depends on the situation, however, no matter what association you have with the red colour, there is no doubt in the strength of those emotions.

Red colour is usually connected with love and rage. As for sensuality, the red is so popular, that  men often choose underwear for their loves. Red is often connected with festivals and fun. Ancient Egyptians started the tradition, which is alive by now: festivals and weekends are marked by the red colour. We also use red to mark the thing to pay attention.

Red colour also warns us about danger and about readiness to face this danger. Red has been long used in military uniform, and the red planet has been called after the God of War - Mars.

This is a very strong colour, which affects a human being and leaves nobody indifferent.
