SUMMARY, CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

SUMMARY

     This paper attempted to determine the effects of colors on human psychology.

     The information declared in this research paper is supported with documents that are taken from the internet and are proven to be factual. The research findings are the following:

1. Colors are essential in everyday life in order to be able to see the wonders that the surroundings possess. There are times wherein colors are illuminated with the presence of different lighting conditions.

2. The rainbow is one of the oldest symbols used to represent the 7 colors that Sir Isaac Newton proposed. This shows that the naked eye can only identify a specific number of colors but they cannot easily determine the subtle changes and visible light.

3. Exposure to colors can greatly affect a person’s mood.

CONCLUSIONS

     Based on the findings of this study, the following conclusions were drawn:

1. There are 2 main categories of colors – the cool colors that are composed of blue, green and purple, and the warm colors include orange, red and yellow. The 2 categories differ in a way that the cool colors focus more on tranquillity while the warm colors bring forth uneasiness.

2. Our favourite colors are chosen by us not because of anything else, but because of its effect on our being.

RECOMMENDATIONS

     After drawing the conclusions of the study, the researcher hereby made the following suggestions/recommendations:

1. Households should list the pros and cons of colors before deciding on the palette that they want to use.

2. Future researchers should not focus on the effects of colors on human psychology. They should look deeper and try to perform tasks that will support their research with actual data.
