Psychology of colors in architecture
- The psychology of red
character:
Exciting and stimulating
Positive: emotional, warm, enthusiastic, active, strong
Negative: hard and intense, aggressive, angry, greedy, blood-colored
Red is the most dominant and dynamic color among colors. The eye must focus on the color when looking at it because the natural focal point of red is below the retina.
This is why red looks closer to you than it is.
