Understanding psychology behind house colour combinations
House colours not only belong to generation, but psychology too. For instance, red is associated with heart rate and blood pressure, black is said to be associated with aggression and blue is connected to the sadness. But do you know that all these house colour combinations have dual or multiple characters and personalities? Room wall colours are not related to emotions and feelings only. They are connected to individuality of the people. That is why a room wall colour is a very personal choice. None of the house colours can have unanimous or global appeal. House colour combinations change their personalities and emotions according to the cultural and geographical differences. For example, in few countries of the world, white is used to indicate cleanliness and purity, whereas in few, it is used to indicate mourning. And for blue also, people have different notions. Some middle east countries considere blue as a colour of protection from evil spirits.

To get the right room wall colour, you may have to go beyond just your personal favorite. Let’s read further and know what to keep in mind while selecting house colour combinations?
