Colour can be associated with everything. Passion, hatred, calmness, energy, fatigue, death, life, fund-raising, awareness- the list goes on and on. We choose certain colours to paint the walls of our homes because they tend to trigger certain responses.
I don’t usually put a lot of thought into colour. For me, its more of an automatic response. I just gravitate to whatever is needed in the moment. For example, I have this really bright pink sweater (the colour of my sidebar on this blog), and I wear it, when I need a little extra help getting pumped up. In other words, the pink makes me look a little healthier - and so I tend to feel better, when I wear it.
But for the everyday, the colour that I see the most is green. However, I rarely wear the colour.
The handbag that I carry during the summer months is green, and so is the laptop bag that I just bought. The accessories in my apartment tend to be on the gren side. In fact, looking around my apartment, I am surprised to see so much green everywhere. Green couch, green area rug, green pillows, green lucky bamboo (in a yellowish-green vase), green lap blanket, an entire bookshelf of green books. I like to drink out of green coffee cups.
I wanted to know why green is so overwhelmingly popular in my house. I have never really acknowledged it as the colour that I like the best - so I wonder why I surround myself with it.
Perhaps its because green is known as a balancing colour. A colour found directly in the middle of the colour spectrum. Maybe this means that I need centering- and colour is a way to help me achieve it. It is most certainly true, that I am most comfortable (and least anxious) when I am home.
I am not going to question it though. If green makes me feel good - I will embrace it.
What does colour do for you? Do you tend to gravitate to a certain colour- and why do you think that is? Please leave a comment and let me know.

颜色会影响你的健康吗？
色彩可以与任何东西联系在一起。热情、厌恶、冷静、活力、疲惫、死亡、生命、集资、知晓等等。我们选择特定的颜色来粉刷家中的墙壁，因为这种颜色倾向于引起我们的某种反应。
我通常不会在颜色上考虑很久。对我而言，这更多的是一种下意识的反应。我只是会瞬间被有些事物吸引。举例而言，我有一件明亮的粉红色羊毛衫外套（颜色就是我博客侧边栏的颜色），我每次都需要一点帮助才能穿进去。换言之，因为粉红色让我看上去更健康一点——所以穿着它的时候我会感觉不错。
但是就平日而言，我最常见的颜色是绿色。可我却很少穿着这个颜色。
我夏天用的手提包是绿色的，我刚买的手提电脑包也是绿色的。我公寓的装潢也倾向于绿色。事实上，环顾一下我的公寓，我惊讶与看到四处都是绿色。绿沙发、绿地毯、绿枕头、绿色的节节高（放在一个黄绿色的花瓶中）、绿毛毯，整个书架上都是绿色的数。我还喜欢使用绿色咖啡杯。
我想知道为什么我的房子里都是铺天盖地的绿色。我从未承认过绿色是我最钟爱的颜色——所有我想知道为什么我周围都是这个颜色。
可能因为绿色被认为是一种平衡色吧。一个排在光谱最中间的颜色。可能这一位着我需要关注——这个颜色是能够帮助我实现它。最好的解释是这种颜色使我在家时感到最舒服（最不会焦虑）。
我不准备追究这个问题了。如果绿色使我感到舒服——我要拥抱绿色。
颜色对你起了什么影响呢？你有没有倾向于一种颜色呢？你的观点是什么？请留下你的评论让我知道吧。
