Could blue help you reduce stress?


The colour blue is believed to have a beneficial effect on your mind and body.

Have you ever experienced a feeling of sudden serenity when surrounded by shades of blue? According to the experiments of American colourist Faber Birren, blue is considered beneficial to the mind and body, and has been shown to help balance hormones, lower breathing rates, slow down the metabolism and reduce blood pressure.

So if you have a fast-paced life or simply need to de-stress, why not try starting your day in a room filled with soft, shades of tranquil blue like powder or sky blue? You may just find that blue helps to bring you inner peace.
