A love of reading and writing is what motivated the creation of this blog. Thank you for coming to the blog.
We often think of color as decoration—something visual and passive. But color isn’t just about how things look. It’s about how they make us feel, behave, and connect with the world around us.
The colors we wear, use in our homes, or choose in design quietly shape our moods, perceptions, and even decision-making. Marketers know this. Designers rely on it. But most of us rarely stop to think: What story is this color telling?
Red may stir urgency or excitement. Blue builds trust. Green reminds us of growth and health. Even a neutral like gray can influence how serious or flat something feels.
Whether you’re selecting what to wear, branding your business, or redecorating your home, it's worth asking: What emotion do I want to evoke? What message am I sending without words?
Color matters. Sometimes more than we realize.
