Benefits of Coloring

There is a beautiful saying “Color is the language of the soul.” Colors also act as therapy and can have a great part in changing our mood for bad to very good and vice versa. Many rehabilitation centers paint their walls Green and Lavender to help their patients getting relaxed. Similarly, yellow color is a sign of happiness and positive energy. Thus, the walls of the schools are painted yellow to energize the kids. Colors have a very important role not only in the lives of the kids but also of the adults.

Colors also change the perception of what we think of something. Let’s take an inspired painting as an example. The colors change our perception of something being small or large. They also have a symbolic meaning which our mind recognizes immediately. We subconsciously associate the color blue with a boy, pink with a girl and red is the color of love.
