The sun has got his hat on, hip hip hip hooray, the sun has got his hat on and we’re coming out to play!

Summertime and sunshine go hand in hand and if there’s one time to ditch the black and navy, in favour of sporting a spot of colour, it’s when the sun is shining.

Colours can affect us more than we can ever imagine and they have a much greater significance than just visual stimulation. There are even studies which highlight the fact that we feel colours more than we even see them.

Here’s a quick guide as to what some of the most popular colours signify.

 

RED

If you want to grab someone’s attention then this really is the colour for you. As well as being linked with passion and romance wearing red is also very empowering.

 

ORANGE

In a similar way to red, orange draws both attention and energy. However as this colour is not as intense as red it can be a tad more soothing. Wearing orange can help you feel positive and put you in an energetic mood.

 

GREEN

If you love nature and the great outdoors this colour really is for you. Shades of green can be both calming and soothing. Wearing green can make you feel refreshed and for those who look at green, findings have shown that this can help reduce stress.

 

YELLOW

If your day is not going according to plan then sunny shades of this colour can be the perfect pick you up. Cheery yellow is also associated with inspiration and intelligence.

 

PINK

Barbie’s favourite colour and probably why she always has a smile on her face, as this colour is linked with happiness and romance. Wearing pink can also give you a little boost, so if you are ever down in the dumps, pop on some pink and perk yourself up!

 

BLUE

Sometimes associated with being a very cold and standoffish colour blue can be both peaceful and calming. This colour can really help relax you if you are feeling stressed out. Some studies have even shown that wearing blue can help you feel more creative.

 

PURPLE

This royal colour, combines the energy of red with the stability of blue. It symbolises power and nobility together with ambition and luxury leading to its association with wealth.
