The colours

Every colour has psychological associations that come into play unconsciously when we see and choose colours. When we understand these associations, we can start to work with colour consciously, by understanding our choices and by bringing the colours we need into our lives.

You can use colour in many ways, including:

• the colours of your clothes
• interior design for your surroundings
• visualising a colour around you
• looking at colour - in a photograph or painting, or
• having objects of your chosen colour around you.
