What emotions do different colors represent?

People have all kinds of theories for this but according to painters and art schools this is called color psychology, it's a theory that teaches artists to transmit and convey emotions on their work to their public through color, because certain colors tend to evoke specific feelings and ideas to people:

Blue: relax, soothe, and make us feel more spiritual and centered. Blue is intuitively chosen for bedrooms for just this reason. It also improves productivity. Blue is also considered to be a clean color.

Red: it increases blood pressure and respiration rate. Red also makes people lose track of time and stimulates appetite. It is used to represent hate, passion, lust, and volatile situations.

Yellow: causes more eye fatigue than any other color. It increases metabolism and upsets babies. Yellow often makes many people feel cheerful, energetic, and happy but soon fatigued.

Green: Like blue, greens tend to calm and relax; it´s a healing color. It promotes mediation, tranquility and easy breathing. It also represents cleanliness and freshness.

Orange: Oranges are warm, welcoming, and vital. It also tends to improve appetite.

Purple: Its the color of royalty, ambiguity, confussion and morality. Because it used to be the most expensive tone to produce back when painting textiles was a fuss its related to oppulence and authority. It is also related to insanity.

Black: black is not a color, its the absence of color just like white. It conveys void, emptiness and insecurity. It also denotes sophistication when used to paint objects. In art and in psychology it has negative relations to doubt, death and loneliness.

Pink: culturally related to things feminine and womanly, pink is a soothing color. Some prisons use it to calm aggresive prisoners. Its the color of comfort, warmth and tender affection. It's also rather overhwelming when used in great quantities, it becomes syruppy.

Grey: color for the studious, the ambiguous and the bare. It can have an unfriendly or indifferent feeling when its a lot of it.

Brown: security, credibility, and reassurance. It also tends to be soothing and comfortable.

RE:

What emotions do different colors represent?

I was just thinking about this today, because I was remembering about when I was once so angry that I saw red, and then I thought of "red with anger", and that got me thinking. Are there any other emotions that red represents, other than anger? What colors do purple, blue, orange, pink,...

As a synesthesic, colors for me do have a very personal and personified representation. Red doesn't necessarily represent anger, but an intense and pressured person. Similar to the idea of a person holding their breathe, they can only do it for so long. A dark blue would mean obnoxious, sarcastic, rude. White would be a pushover, a very insecure individual. ect.

As for the general idea of colors, each does imply a mood or vibe. Green may imply clam, neutral. Black may imply cynical and deep. Fuchsia could imply hyper and energetic. Purple could be similar to green, but it depends on the shade of course. Blue, depending on the shade, could generally mean distant or cold, if you will.

Red is the color of fire and blood, so it is associated with energy, war, danger, strength, power, determination as well as passion, desire, and love. Red is an emotionally intense color.

Orange combines the energy of red and the happiness of yellow. It is associated with joy, sunshine, and the tropics. Orange represents enthusiasm, fascination, happiness, creativity, determination, attraction, success, encouragement, and stimulation. Orange is usually associated as a hot color, though most very hot objects appear white. If you have ever heard the term white hot.

Yellow is the color of sunshine. It's associated with joy, happiness, intellect, and energy.

Green is the color of nature. It symbolizes growth, harmony, freshness, and fertility. Green has strong emotional correspondence with safety. Dark green is also commonly associated with money.

Blue is the color of the sky and sea. It is often associated with depth and stability. It symbolizes trust, loyalty, wisdom, confidence, intelligence, faith, truth, and heaven.

Purple combines the stability of blue and the energy of red. Purple is associated with royalty. It symbolizes power, nobility, luxury, and ambition. It conveys wealth and extravagance. Purple is associated with wisdom, dignity, independence, creativity, mystery, and magic.

White is associated with light, goodness, innocence, purity, and virginity. It is considered to be the color of perfection.

Black is associated with power, elegance, formality, death, evil, and mystery.

These are what the colours represent to me.

Purple is quirky and kind of comfortable, I like people who remind me of purple. Fuchsia is hyperactivity or young love. Light blue is calm and makes me feel sleepy. Dark blue is courage. Orange is loud, hyperactive, and annoyed, but sometimes when coupled with another colour like brown, it has a more earthy feel to it. Brighter reds are anger, but darker reds are love, lust, or intensity. Yellow is happiness, but bright yellow or yellow in large amounts gives me a headache. Brown and green are calm, comforting colours that make me think of nature.

Some colours like orange and fuchsia in large amounts can make me feel uneasy and stressed.

I thought red was love and stuff...purple is spiritualness..

blue is sadness..yellow is happiness

thats all i know oh and green is envy,jealousy, hatred, and loving nature
