The colors of rooms in any environment are thought to create moods which influence people’s emotions and feelings. Color psychology, a study held by Sir Issac Newton in 1666, through experiments believed that colors influence human behaviors and emotions.

Some vibrant, warm, and cool hues, including yellow, pink, blue, and green, evoke more positive feelings than others. Warm colors are those in the red region of the color spectrum, which include red, orange, and yellow, tend to arouse a range of sensations, from warmth and comfort to rage and hatred, according to writer Kendra Cherry, from an article on VeryWellMind.

Some colors, like green, yellow, cream/off-whites, light blues, and even oranges, are thought to enhance a person’s capacity for learning.
