Very often, what colors people choose in everyday life can tell what mood a person is in. But the most interesting thing is that it is possible to diagnose by observing trends in human behavior or using one of the color tests. For example, one of the most popular tests of Lusher can help in such a task.
Even before studying this area of ​​psychology, many scientists claimed that the predominance of dark colors in clothes means a sign of a depressed mood in a person. However, this hypothesis has not been confirmed.
During the experiment, many subjects claimed that their favorite color is black, but at the same time they are absolutely happy people and are in a great mood. With such empirical data, such a hypothesis has collapsed.
Another interesting fact that scientists were able to establish was that a group of subjects who used bright, even acid colors, were depressed for a rather long time, and their mood had already reached the maximum critical point of view. Scientists explained this specific result as an unconditioned reflex similar to that of animals. So, for example, although many animals are color blind, they can distinguish between bright colors. Therefore, for many animals, bright colors are a signal to danger and cause an aggressive reaction.
A similar reaction can be seen in some people who use bright colors in their clothes. But this point of view has still not found its exact confirmation, and therefore remained in the list of alleged ones.
The reaction and mood indicator to color schemes is an individual indicator that can both raise the mood indicator and contribute to its decrease.
Another point of view that is being developed is the preference for the color scheme from the prevalence of the type of thinking. For example, people who have more developed creative thinking prefer bright and varied colors, and people with conservative thinking prefer sustained tones: white, black or beige, that is, classic options.
However, research in this area is still ongoing and scientists for many decades can not come to a common opinion on whether there is a relationship between the choice of color scheme and mood indicator and what is the nature of the occurrence of such a connection.
