Feeling Angry? feeling Sad? Feeling Happy, Calm or Energetic?

It seems that paint color plays a role in mood. At least that’s what house painters are saying. My friend Adi G has been painting for years and specializes in home/wall murals. “Color choice is critical as it sets the tone for the home’s atmosphere as well as the home owner’s mood”, says Adi.

I’m pretty sure I agree. I look back and think about the different colors I’ve painted my room over the years.

age 6- I was a happy-go-lucky girl. I loved dancing, singing and playing with my millions of dolls. Predictably, my room was Pink.

age 11-This was my tomboy stage. I wanted to play sports and hang with the guys. I forced my mother to change my paint color and so-my room was blue.

age 16- This was my most rebellious year. I was a somewhat angry tiny-bopper obsessed with Blink 182 and Alanis Morissette. My room reflected my mood and was a dark shade of gray. Yes, believe it or not I had my room painted gray.

Currently, as a young adult my room is a soft beige. The color suggests peacefulness and creates a calm. There’s nothing more soothing than coming home after a long day of work to my beautiful beige walls.

And there you have it. The colorful story of my life.
