Red - Red is an intense colour. It can increase your adrenaline and excitement. It can be perfect for rooms in your home where people gather such as the living room or the dining room. However, because it is a strong colour, it can be too stimulating when used as paint colour for bedrooms.

 

Yellow - Yellow reflects happiness. Use this in the kitchen or dining room where you want people to be energized. It can also be ideal for bathrooms as it can uplift one's mood. If you want to create a welcoming feel in your home, use yellow paint colour in entrances and halls. But, avoid using too much yellow in any rooms in your home. Using it as your main colour scheme can create a feeling of anger or frustration.

 

Blue - Blue creates a calming and relaxing feeling. This is the perfect choice for bathrooms and bedrooms. It is recommended to use light blue shades because it has a calming effect. On the other hand, dark blue shades can give you a sad feeling.
