The effects of colour
These days, colour has become a very important design element in hospitals and nursing and care facilities.
ORANGE stands for optimism and zest for life. In colour therapy, orange soothes abdominal discomfort and pain. Used in rooms, orange facilitates sociability and creates a warm atmosphere. Orange is also ideal for use in rooms that get little natural light.
YELLOW is the colour of the sun and stands for optimism and joy. In colour therapy, it soothes anxiety and depression and is used for conditions such as rheumatism and liver problems. Yellow makes small rooms look bigger and friendlier.
RED stands for love and passion. It draws attention and symbolises vitality and energy. Red has a warming and stimulating effect. It stimulates the circulation, metabolism and the immune system.
