How Does the Color Affect the Space?

Darker colors can make a room look cramped, while other colors like white   can make the room feel more open. In addition, the different colors you use can after your child's mood. For example, it’s been claimed that red can   make a person feel more aggressive, while yellow has been suggested to   produce a cheerier mood in a person. There are even colors that may help   your baby sleep better.

How Color Affects Your Baby

Yellow is sunny and bright but use with caution. Too much or too bright yellow can agitate a baby. Subtle yellow (think legal pads) promotes concentration and emotive thoughts.

Green – Calming, Refreshing, Nurturing –

Green is the best color to use in a learning environment. It promotes calmness of thinking and concentration. It is also very serene, calming and natural. Green is one of the best colors in decorating because it is so abundant in nature you can’t go wrong!

Blue – Healing, Subtle –

Blue is calming, but be careful with the shade. Gray-blues can lean towards sadness. Blue increases productivity, but should not be used around food. If you have a child who refuses to eat, avoid blue plates! In the nursery, use warm or bright blues and avoid overusing navy or dark shades. Blue is also cooling, which is good for a baby who gets warm easily.

         White– Clean, pure, innocent –

    White is angelic and sweet but can not promote secretiveness. Stay away

    from all white use splashes of color to evoke emotion and openness. And beware white is definitely prone to stain

     Orange – Warm, Comforting –

Orange is a very comfortable color. It promotes a welcoming feeling and inspires interpersonal conversation. Orange is friendly and puts reservations at ease. Use a darker orange for a super-cozy atmosphere or bright orange for a punch of modern!

     Gray – Introspective, Intuitive, Emotional –

    Gray inspires you to contemplate the same way you may feel a bit down a   cloudy day (which is why raincoats are yellow). Be careful with gray. It’s   advantages are that it promotes thought and emotion, but that includes   sadness and loneliness. Many famous poets and writers have been known   retreat to overcast locations to write, like Seattle. If you want to use gray,   used warm tone and mix in some brighter colors.

    Pink – Loving, Feminine – 

    It’s no coincidence that little girls love pink. It is the universal color of all       

    things girly. Pink is very calming as well, particularly with children who are

    prone to throwing fits or tantrums. Feel free to go nuts with pink in a girl’s nursery the only ill effect may be a bit of a princess attitude.

    Brown is the color of our earth, which makes it a great choice for a nursery.                  However, brown is also the color of, er, other things, so use with caution. Go with a      dark chocolate brown or a very light beige/tan. Avoid any of the middle shades as          they can tend to look, well, poppy.

     Black – Authoritative, Powerful –

       Black is another color to use in moderation. It is strong and dark. Make sure use in a     room with big windows and lots of natural lighting. Black should be used as an             accent color—black walls are a nightmare to repaint.
