The perception and the mystery of color. By Alberto Isoni.


Red, Yellow, Blue and Fuchsia. Each is an anchor of four different ambiances and with an accent of grey or muted color creates beautiful areas that emanate wellbeing. Colors, according to ancient theories and more recent scientific studies, have a significant influence on our mood and behavior. Trends and personal taste play a mutual role in helping you to decide which tint to choose for walls, floor and furniture, making color selection enjoyable and fun. Red represents energy, passion, and celebration. It symbolizes life and warmth and is a perfect color to stimulate your senses. Red evokes the feeling of contentment that being with friends brings and it exudes the joy of life. Energetic and passionate red can beautifully dominate a room. Combined with a refined accent of a grey or muted color, whether a sofa, armchair or pillow, red is an elegant color for a living area, where you can receive your friends. Yellow is full of strength and communicates cheerful intensity. It has the power to brighten your mood and breathe freshness into a room. Nothing is better than to use this color for decorating a sunny kitchen. Yellow, corresponding with a touch of a muted color can create a minimal sophistication, through the fusion of an accent wall and grey oak finishes. Turquoise, which is a fusion between relaxing blues and greens, favors the physical and psychological wellbeing and becomes an appropriate touch for those corners of the house where you like to relax and stretch out among the things that you love. Juxtaposing turquoise against an aluminum and grey oak madia or wall unit could create an incredibly serene den or other leisure space within your home. Fuchsia, with an exuberant mix of red and tranquil blue, is the new night color, in balance with the joy of life and of relaxation. Posted by Alberto Isoni.
