What Is Color Psychology?

Color psychology is the study of hues as a determinant of human behavior. Color can influence perceptions that are not obvious, such as the taste of food.

Colors can affect confidence, thoughts, emotions, behavior, and the ability to learn and retain information. Color can be indispensable to your overall health and wellness.

Interestingly enough, the human eye does not have the mechanism to perceive the color yellow. Yellow is seen psychologically, hence the complexity and comprehensiveness of color.

Wearing and surrounding yourself with the superlative colors can improve your attitude, add a glow and flawless aspect to your complexion, and attract people towards you. These choice colors can enable you to look, think, feel, act, learn, and heal your best.

Common Misconceptions About Color Psychology

Prior to delving into color psychology as it relates to the C Color® Methodology, it is quintessential to address common misconceptions about the psychology of color.

Misconceptions regarding color psychology will lead you to believe that if you desire to create feelings of calm, peace, and serenity, you should opt to use cool colors, while if you aspire to produce feelings of comfort and energy, you should use warm colors, such as browns, reds, and oranges.

With C Color® all of the colors in your C Color Spectrum® can produce feelings of calm, peace, serenity, comfort, energy, excitement, and an unlimited number of other favorable emotions.

To further complicate the intricate subject of color, people often confuse the temperatures, saturations, and predominant bases of colors. Color analysts, makeup artists, stylists, designers, and most other industry professionals categorize blues, greens, and purples as cool colors and reds, yellows, and oranges as warm colors; nevertheless, all colors can be cool or warm.

The above color quadrant displays a Cool Blue Ash Based yellow color, a Cool Blue Based yellow color, a Warm Yellow Based yellow color, and a Warm Red Earth Based yellow color, as examples to further distinguish the four C Color Spectrums. Each C Color Spectrum® contains millions of every color.

A C Color Spectrum is a category of a myriad of colors classified by temperature, saturation, and the predominant base of a primary color of either Blue, Yellow, or Red.

The majority of color theories claim that all blues are cool, when in actuality, there are literally millions of the color blue. C Color classifies all of the blues, along with every other color, into four distinct C Color Spectrums.

Two of the four C Color Spectrums contain cool blues, and two of the four C Color Spectrums contain warm blues, even though the predominant base of each of the four C Color Spectrums is unique.

All of the 16.7 million known colors in the world belong in one of the four C Color Spectrums.

To ascertain the hues that can produce feelings of joy, a vibrant appearance, and a sense of contentment, you must first authenticate your C Color Spectrum, which is the result of a latent color gene within your DNA.

C Color Spectrum 2 Yellow is Cool Blue Based, More Saturated

The key to the classification of all colors is the temperature, saturation, and predominant base of one of the primary colors of blue, yellow, or red.

“Does this color look good on me?”

“Is this the right color for my client?”

“Does this color represent my brand?”

These universal questions have been asked by color conscious individuals, color professionals, and the color curious.

Determining the unsurpassed colors is relevant for all aspects of life; thereby, we will focus on presenting how to navigate color in the following fields:

Fashion
Makeup Artistry
Interior Design
Graphic Design, Marketing, and Branding

Fashion

Wearing the unparalleled colored clothing can send a powerful message to the world, as colors and clothing are an expression and a representation of how you feel about yourself. Consequently, your outward appearance is one of the greatest determinants of your confidence.

To make a good impression, exude confidence, convey a glowing complexion, look your best, and attract people towards you, ensure that you are wearing colors from within your DNA affirmed C Color Spectrum. The color of your clothing is arguably more important than the style of the garments. You may be wearing expensive clothing, but when wearing the merchandise in suboptimal colors, the value of the clothing and your appearance diminish.

Clothing in less than ideal colors draws the life from your skin and wears you, and that means that others notice the color of the garments and not you.

Embrace your C Color Spectrum and further color in fashion to your advantage.

It is unnecessary to clothe yourself in your C Color Spectrum colors from head to toe, as the prime colors are essential from the chest area upward. With that said, once you return to your unquestioned color tendencies, the majority of your wardrobe will be within your C Color Spectrum, as you will be consciously aware of why you are attracted to certain colors.

It is also important to understand the significance of utilizing accessories in the colors within your C Color Spectrum. Subtle splashes of the hues can add radiance to your complexion, introduce another dimension to your appearance, and set you apart from the crowd.

When living in your C Color environment, you will be astonished at the effect your color choices will have on your attitude, mood, and general outlook. As if that is not enough, you will receive compliments from others around you.

Below are examples of how individuals from each of the four C Color Spectrums can wear gray/charcoal, black, gunmetal, and gray colors.

Please note that clothing and accessory colors are for reference only and do not represent the models’ C Color Spectrums.

The key to the classification of all colors is the temperature, saturation, and predominant base of one of the primary colors of blue, yellow, or red.

Makeup Artistry

Dr. Arnaud Aubert, Experimental Psychologist and Associate Professor in the Department of Neurosciences, explains, “All the social information is in the center of the face.”

The psychology of color as it relates to cosmetics can guide you in portraying an exuberant complexion as well as self-assurance. Choosing the nonpareil cosmetic colors is paramount to influencing perception, whether you are a makeup artist or one who simply enjoys wearing face paint.

Conventional makeup theory suggests that the colors chosen should correspond with your skin tone, eye color, and hair color. This common misconception places those who wear cosmetics at risk of draining the glow from their complexion, as C Color asserts that external features do not validate your ideal colors. Your DNA is the identifying factor. Appropriately, utilizing cosmetic colors within your C Color Spectrum, can beautify your natural facial features and ensure a flawless, radiant complexion.

The reality is that you can apply any color cosmetic palette of your choosing to your face, as long as the predominant base of those colors corresponds to your C Color Spectrum. The C Color Ideology is nondiscriminatory, leaving no color off limits to you.

Below are examples of how individuals from each of the four C Color Spectrums can wear cosmetic and accessory colors.

Please note that cosmetic and accessory colors are for reference only and do not represent the models’ C Color Spectrums.

C Color Spectrum 2 Charcoal is Cool Blue Based, More Saturated

C Color Spectrum 4 Gold is Warm Red Based, Less Saturated, Appears Rubbed with Earth

The key to the classification of all colors is the temperature, saturation, and predominant base of one of the primary colors of blue, yellow, or red.

Interior Design

Similar to clothing, you can employ the colors from within your C Color Spectrum® to positively impact you as it relates to the places that you spend your time, namely, the interiors and exteriors of your home and office. Choosing colors for the interiors and exteriors of your home, declared by your inborn genetic color predilections, can create a calming, uplifting, and motivational ambience. The same is true for your office interiors and exteriors.

Alternatively, living amidst colors not within your C Color Spectrum, can dampen your mood, stifle creativity, and produce an internal sense of restlessness and, at times, chaos. There are many color theories for interior and exterior design, making it significant to note that standard approaches do not target your inherent, DNA championed color partialities.

To reiterate, it is of the utmost importance to ensure that the colors that you are decorating with are indeed within your C Color Spectrum.

By choosing colors within your C Color Spectrum, you can develop environments that are seamlessly strewn together.

When decorating interiors, consider the following approaches:

Choose two to three colors from within your C Color Spectrum, as the foundation of your décor and expand your colors outward from that foundation
Unite separate spaces with the same shades of color from within your C Color Spectrum
Build dimension in a room by painting a focal wall with a color from within your C Color Spectrum
Select unexpected, although complimentary, color accents for each room from within your C Color Spectrum
Choose colors from within your C Color Spectrum, depending on which activities take place in the room and the mood you choose to convey
Light the rooms in line with the C Color Spectrums of the individuals’ living or working in the spaces

Below are examples of home interior colors for each of the four C Color Spectrums.

The key to the classification of all colors is the temperature, saturation, and predominant base of one of the primary colors of blue, yellow, or red.

Graphic Design, Marketing, And Branding

Persuasive graphic design, marketing and branding are vital in the world today. The image, colors, and messaging of a brand can either positively or negatively influence potential customers. Businesses often flounder in a noisy sea of competition, going unseen and unheard by customers. The client of today is constantly bombarded with imagery and messaging.

The only way to get noticed is to foster a brand image that is visually and psychologically impactful and appealing. Graphic designers and marketers must leverage the fitting colors to command the customer’s attention within seconds.

Conventional color theory branding is rigid. It recommends using red to convey power, blue to create a sense of calm, green to signify growth, and the list goes on; however, color is multidimensional.

With millions of colors in existence, how can one simply guess at the right hue to best resonate with a large audience of people? While a certain shade of blue may be calming to you, it does not necessarily have the same effect on others.

As mentioned previously, all shades of blue reside in each one of the four C Color Spectrums. You may prefer Blue Ash Based Blues, that are Cool, but another person may prefer Yellow Based Blues, that are Warm. The determinant is your intrinsic DNA color proclivities.

When designing a website, app, or any other branded asset, graphic designers and marketers should aim to be inclusive of the colors in each C Color Spectrum. That can be accomplished by the following:

Recommend four hues of the same color from each of the four C Color Spectrums throughout the entire designed asset. The C Color logo and website are examples of this recommendation, as blues from each of the four C Color Spectrums are displayed.

Know the C Color Spectrums of your targeted audience
Establish dynamic targeting by displaying colors that correspond to the C Color Spectrums of your customers
Resort to geographical segmentation for advertising to the four C Color Spectrums
Create superior and distinctive marketing materials that appeal to all four C Color Spectrums, as collateral from other companies may appeal to one or too few C Color Spectrums

Below are examples of marketing materials for each of the four C Color Spectrums.
