I’ve never been of the notion that colour has effects on people but there are quite a number of studies and articles on the effects of colours on your mood and behavior.
Some say a person’s mien is based on the colours they put on, while others say looking at a particular colour affects a person’s psyche.
I’m not a big fan of green, but my male colleagues kept complimenting my green top yesterday, one actually told me ‘green is your colour’ and advised that I get a wardrobe overhaul and buy green things….yeah right…..like I’d want to dress like a nature enthusiast every day.
I remember the crystal shopping spree I went on last month, I found a gorgeous string of tumbled sea green aventurine, the first thing I thought apart from the fact that they looked like sweets……..was ‘Serenity’. The beads had such a calming effect on me, it brought to mind a warm summer day, a whispering breeze and the sweet smell of flowers, sand and surf. I’m not sure it was the colour but I was willing to find out.
I got online and stumbled across this site www.colour-affects.co.uk and I was surprised at what I found out;
GREEN they say represents balance. Its positive effects are harmony, balance, refreshment, universal love, rest, restoration, reassurance, environmental awareness, equilibrium and peace.
Its negative effects are boredom, stagnation, blandness and enervation.
An excerpt from the page says;
“Green strikes the eye in such a way as to require no adjustment whatever and is, therefore, restful. Being in the centre of the spectrum, it is the colour of balance – a more important concept than many people realise. When the world about us contains plenty of green, this indicates the presence of water, and little danger of famine, so we are reassured by green, on a primitive level. Negatively, it can indicate stagnation and, incorrectly used, will be perceived as being too bland.”
Really??? so the aventurine caused me to be calm? Hmmmn…….
I’m not sure about its effects but I knowI prefer sea green to other harsh shades, Isn’t the colour of this watch to die for?
tty soon.

Anyone have ideas on what to call this piece?
To be honest, i am not really a big fan of green, infact i go out of my way to pick another item of clothing which i may have really wanted, if all they had left was in green….sad right??? but then again, the necklace in turquoise (yes i refuse to call it ‘green’ be it ”sea green”- BITE ME!!!….lol), is actually pretty, especially on gold…..
You’ve got talent mami, id encourage you to continue researching unique pieces that could make etransformed stand out even more…..
