Buyers and sellers forget an important part of their home. COLOR! Something as simple as the color of paint on the walls, can greatly control people’s moods. Color psychology has been widely studied and results show that the color of a room truly affects people’s moods. Linda Craft & Team have some tips on what each color conveys that is important to keep in mind when choosing paint colors.
Purple
A color with a deep history in luxury, purple in the dark varieties can be added to a room to make it feel rich 
and dramitic. Lighter versions are perfect for bedrooms, bring the same peaceful quality as blue without being cold.
Blue
Blue is know as the healing color and is recommended for bedrooms and bathrooms. It is proven that the color lowers blood pressure and slows heart rate and respiration. It is very calming and relaxing. Always go for softer shades of blue because dark blue evokes sadness. Use light blue shades as a main color scheme and you can always accent with darker ones.
Green
Green has a soothing effect and can be used almost anywhere in your home, it is extremely versitile. The color itself promotes comfort and togetherness and is very pleasant. Green has the cheerfulness of yellow but the calming quality of blue. The color green is also associated with wealth and healing.
Yellow
Want to bring life and energy into your home? Yellow is certainly your best option creating joy and happiness. Yellow is also perfect in small spaces and creates expansion and a welcome feel. Be cautious to use yellow as a main color scheme though. People are most likely to get angry in a yellow room and babies are most likely to cry in one. It also creates the most fatigue on the eyes. We recommend using softer shades of yellow instead of the most vivid options.
Orange

A muted red tone is great for bedrooms as well. The color of love, rage, and courage and creates a strong emotional impact of power and strength.
