Take a few minutes today to gaze at a lake,
pond, river or another space that features
the color navy blue—you’ll feel calmer in
seconds! When experts at the University of
Sussex and British papermaker G.F. Smith
asked thousands of people around the
globe which emotions they associated with
different color hues, navy blue was found
to be the most rela xing color. The likely
reason, according to color therapist
Leatrice Eiseman (LeatriceEiseman.com):
“A deep blue environment emulates what
people are accustomed to seeing in nature,
and most shades of blue are perceived as
calming,” she explains. “Navy blue is also
the color of a twilight sky at the end of
a day—a time that people associate with
‘winding down.’”
Kick back and relax!
