Interested to find out why he loved orange so much I started asking. At first he had no idea, but then with further probing about his childhood he told me that his bedroom when he was a kid was painted orange, and he associated childhood with fun, laughter, no responsibilities and freedom. So of course here was the link between his love of the colour and his emotional response to it.
I love yellow walls. A soft, sunny yellow. It's a color I don't choose for clothing, and I tend to stay away from yellowish colors. But for some reason, being surrounded with yellow just make me feel happy and cheerful. My entire sewing room is painted yellow, and accented with lime greens, white, pinks and some reds.
I wear it in larger proportions and smaller proportions as an accent depending on my mood and the outfit. My pink shrug (also one of my go to my style pieces), jewellery for a pop of colour, as well as a few key garments.

***For your analysis I need to be able to clearly see your eye colour, skintone and natural hair colour if possible (if your hair is coloured very different to your natural colour, please send a pic that would show this if you can).
Your analysis is based on these pics so please take your time and make sure you are happy that the pictures you are sending are an accurate representation of your colouring. If you look at the pics and can't see your eye colour, then I won't be able to either.
Yellow is, predictably, our #1 happy color. We love how this home used Amber Brew to bring some sunshine into their space above the beautiful chair rail molding of their entryway. This golden hue is a sophisticated take on yellow.
I decided to knit this sweater as an experiment on how to use up several black sock yarn leftovers from different brands at once. Of course, there were some differences in colour and texture, so I held them together with a neon blue Kidsilk yarn from my stash which I never would have used on its own. The result just looks stunning with the marled effect of the two yarn types together. As a plus, you only feel the softness of the Kidsilk yarn on your skin, there is no itchyness of the sock yarn involved.
The Saturday opening queue was pretty long, as usually, but I got inside the building in less than 20 minutes, which I find very appropriate. The overall colour concept was bright pink, which I dislike a lot, but the concept was implemented very subtly, with small yarn samples hanging at the handrails, e.g.
Now to my personal selection of sellers, that I would like to introduce you to. First of all, I was more than happy to see Wolle Willich once again. They are one of my favourite German yarn shops and specialise in Shetland yarns and rarities. They even have started their own range of locally grown natural yarns recently.
Lanaphilia also had a booth and it was a pleasure to see the beautiful colours of Zen Yarn Garden and Olann. They also had brought some String Theory Caper Sock, a yarn I particularly like for its softness and stitch definition at the same time.
It was a pleasure to meet Bodolina in person and to have a look at her handcrafted knitting needle organisers. They come in a large variety of colours and sizes, so have a look at them if you still have not found your perfect storage solution.
Other remarkable concerts in my opinion were Boy Harsher, Mr. Kitty, Wardruna and Teho Teardo & Blixa Bargeld. As always, there was not enough time to see everything I would have liked to. At least, I am happy with my selection. And now it is time to think about the 2019 outfits.
Even mother nature, as most poets will recognize, dims her colors when she feels bad. A happy sunny day filled with leafy greens, cantaloupe skies and blue waters will quickly turn gray and gloomy when it storms. As do we.
There are a million other colors left. Which one of them is your happy color? What is the first color that comes to mind when you hear the words happy, carefree, peaceful or inspired? Does it possibly remind you of something, someone or some place? Can you think of any connection as to why your happy color is your happy color?
Turquoise, wattle golds, and rich earthy reds, they raise me from the Turquoise water of the Coral Sea, through the wattle golds, and out across red sandstone of The Great Divide to the red earth of the Never Never, through the wattle golds once more to Turquoise water of Ningaloo These are my favourite colours, the colours of travelling a vast land, with many other colours in-between. ?
As a designer, we use different colours to give different moods in certain designs. For example, a fuchsia necklace will give you a fun personality whereas a red jewellery can give you an energetic feel.
- Fanta uses orange to encourage a feeling of fun and confidence

However, research points out that emotional ties to colours are subjective, and that each individual will respond to different colours in a different way based on their culture, religion, upbringing and more.
Happy colours are bright, warm colours like yellow, orange, pink and red. Pastel colours like peach, light pink or lilac can also have an uplifting effect on your mood. The brighter and lighter a colour, the more happy and optimistic it will make you feel. Another way colours can create happy emotions is by combining multiple primary and secondary colours together for a youthful, colourful effect.
Green symbolizes health, new beginnings and wealth. Green is the easiest on the eyes and should be used to relax and create balance in a design. It is a great colour to use if a company wants to depict growth, security or inspire possibility and sustainability. Green can also feel calming and relaxing.
So onto talking about colour, which is what I want to share with you on this blog, post today. We all have a very visceral response to colour and nowhere in your life is it going to have more impact than in your home. We spend 70% of our life at home and so getting your colours right, find what resonated with you and lifts you up is very important indeed!
This is a fun exercise that you can recreate by simply gathering some paint charts around you and taking a moment to really look at all the different colours one by one. . Just take a minute to look at a family of colours, on your paint chart, and decide if this is a colour you enjoy. How does it make you feel? And what sort of tone do you like best?
Red is a colour that is very arresting, its hot, attention-grabbing and confident. The colour of post-boxes and drive-throughs red has been used to make statements and stand out, grab our attention. Move towards the warmer and brown-tinted reds and they can feel cosy and assuring. Or mix a drop of pink and red can feel perky and fun. I love the cherry red used in the Cath Kidston branding for example. Too much red in a scheme can start to feel aggressive and overpowering, so think about how red affects you. Does it make you feel strong and assured or raging and irritable! This colour can be great in sociable areas like dining rooms but it may make a busy cooks kitchen feel too hot!
Literally the colour of mother earth, brown is very grounding and another great colour to have in your home. If you think of timber that we use for flooring and furniture, chances are you already have plenty of brown in your home. I love my bright and saturated colour palette but I find shades of brown really help to calm the brights so I always make sure there are timber tones in my schemes. Again take a moment to discover what brown tones or timbers you are drawn to. From the pale woods like ash and beech to the rick honey tones of oak or the cool whitewashed and weathered shades of wood.
Once you have worked out what colour palette you love, by listening to your gut you can delve a little further into what your findings mean. I use the framework of colour psychology on my workshops to help people discover what colours they love and what palette will work coherently throughout their home.
If you have chosen colours that feel light, buoyant, clear and yet warm then you are probably a spring personality. The energy you love to create is fun, uplifting, youthful and lively but there is gentleness too. You can learn more about how to decorate in the spring personality here.
If you have chosen colours that are cool, calm and have a grey undertone to them then chances are you are a summer personality. You love colours that feel elegant, calm and graceful and have a timeless quality. To find out more about how to decorate using the summer colour palette, see my post here.
If the colours you have gravitated towards are more earthy, rich or flamboyant then you are an autumn personality. You love strong deep colours and a cosy and welcoming vibe and you are particularly drawn to natures colour palette. Find out more about how to decorate in the autumn palette here.
