| | Color psychology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Color psychology is a field of study devoted to analyzing the effect of color on human behavior and feeling, distinct from phototherapy (the use of ultraviolet light to cure infantile jaundice). |  | | Color psychology is an immature field of study viewed dubiously by mainstream psychologists and therefore qualifies as "alternative medicine". |  | | Although color psychology is a relatively new area of scientific research, ancient civilizations believed in the influence of color on humans. |

| | Color theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Adding a complementary color to a color on the canvas is the traditional technique for making shadows, as well as for choosing a balance of color overall, so that the eye does not tire from an overuse of red, for example. |  | | All the possible colors that can be created by mixing these three colored lights are referred to as the gamut of those particular lights. |  | | Neutral colors are intended to send no messages but often work harmoniously with other colors. |

| | Working with Color in Dreams |
 | | Color appears to represent the emotional conditions that stimulated a dream or dream image. |  | | Color recall may have to do with the nature of our consciousness in dreams, as observed by the vivid colors usually associated with Lucid dreams [2]. |  | | Color in dreams can indeed have cultural or personal significance, but my research supports a notion that for the most part dream color comes from a normal brain function that associates emotion with sensory input. |

 | | Because color occurs in the mind but is a response to light in the world, separate color descriptions are necessary for the external, physical light stimulus and the subjective color perception. |  | | To describe color changes across different viewing conditions, or to distinguish surfaces from lights, or to describe the difference between two or more colors, the attributes of lightness and chroma are needed as well. |  | | Physical color measurements and subjective color descriptions are only correlated, in the sense that one approximates but does not define the other. |

| | The psychology of color |
 | | To understand the mechanics of color means that whatever effect you desire can be realized and whatever you are doing, you are doing it deliberately. |  | | This and many other instances of combined sensory experiences are manifold but those instancing color alone escape me. I must conclude that singularly hue has no universal behavioural consequences and therefore no psychological implications - unless combined with other senses or hues. |  | | This thesis runs a parallel to music where no universal psychological analysis can be made of single notes but when combined with others we can have harmony or disharmony and moods created with various combinations. |
