Why do you sometimes get the urge to eat a banana or buy a specific car? Are all of these decisions entirely random, or is there something deeper that drives our choices?\n\nBelieve it or not, many of our decisions are influenced &#8211; at least, to some degree &#8211; by color.

In a nutshell, color psychology is the way a person reacts to color on an emotional, psychological, and even physical level.\n\nCertain colors are known to bring out certain emotions. In a way, all colors can mean something different to each individual person. For instance, a certain color may trigger a specific childhood memory or feeling, based on past experiences. There are colors that can make you happy, excited, calm, and even angry.\n\nColors can also make you think of different symbols. A good example is pink. When many of us think of the color pink, we might might think of breast cancer awareness. Similarly, if you see red, you might think &#8220;stop&#8221;, and when you see, green you might think of wealth or nature.\n\nAs a professional color consultant, it&#8217;s critical that you understand color psychology. Picking the right colors for the right rooms will help you create the best possible spaces for your clients. Picking the <em>wrong <\/em>colors can have an unwanted effect.\n\nWith this in mind, what are some of the biggest color psychology mistakes a color consultant should know better than to make?

Going into it, I knew it was a small space without a window. Honestly, I should have known better&#8230;\n\nJust kidding! Yes, while this is true, we&#8217;re all still allowed to make mistakes. That is how we learn.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;23413&#8243; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; animation=&#8221;None&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221;][vc_column_text]QC&#8217;s Color Consultant Course inspired me to redo this bathroom. I always knew I did not enjoy being in there, but I was never sure why. This all changed when I watched one my course&#8217;s instructional videos. Here&#8217;s what I learned:\n\nYellow&#8217;s complimentary color is purple. So, in a yellow bathroom, you&#8217;re going to wind up seeing all of the purple undertones. This is exactly what I was faced with every time I looked into the mirror. Yuck! Talk about unflattering! That won&#8217;t make <em>anyone <\/em>feel good about themselves.\n\nI know what you&#8217;re thinking: doesn&#8217;t yellow represent happiness, optimism, and summer? Wouldn&#8217;t those be <em>positive <\/em>emotions? Yes, this is true. But in the wrong space, those desired emotions can fall flat. In reality, yellow is the most visually-reflective color. As a result, it can often be too hard on the eyes. This, in turn, can cause headaches.\n\nSo, what is a better color for a small bathroom? Ultimately, this will be up to your client. But in this particular case, I am the client and I chose a light gray instead. (Just keep in mind that there are many other flattering colors to choose from.) Personally, I&#8217;ve always liked the idea of white shiplap on the walls, or going with a spa look and using a gray\/blue combo. Another idea that I think would look nice would be wainscoting; taking up a little more than half the wall and using something darker like a charcoal gray or navy blue.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h3>2.

Since this particular space is meant to be relaxing, which color should you pick?\n\nNot red!\n\nYou can probably get away with recommending a shade of burgundy, but you should <em>definitely <\/em>stay away from red.

This just goes to show why color psychology is so important to keep in mind as a color consultant. You need to understand which effects certain colors can have, so you know where they&#8217;re appropriate (and where they&#8217;re not).\n\nWith all this in mind, which colors should you pick to make a client&#8217;s bedroom a peaceful, relaxing oasis? Blue is known for having such a calming power. For this reason, it works really well in bedrooms! Blue symbolizes heaven and sky. It&#8217;s said that those who like blue are trustworthy, loyal, friendly, and strong.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h3>3. Do NOT choose a beige with pink undertones if your client doesn&#8217;t like pink.<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][vc_column_text]Okay, let\u2019s move on to beige. Beige can tend to have pink undertones &#8211; and my husband and I learned that the hard way. Story time!\n\nBack then, we were younger and didn&#8217;t yet know this fact. Now, our first house did not get much natural light. (I actually used to call it &#8220;The Dungeon.&#8221;) You would get the morning light, but by the afternoon, only the upstairs got any sun.\n\nThis was when we decided to paint the downstairs walls beige. The only problem was that we did <em>not, <\/em>in fact, get a perfect beige. Instead, our walls looked PINK! In the world of color psychology, pink is a part of the red family.\u00a0 It\u2019s also perceived as feminine, innocent, and romantic.\n\nWhile pink can look great in bedrooms, it was far from ideal in this particular space. My husband was doing a lot of the painting himself, and we hadn&#8217;t considered at the time that paint can look <a href=\"\/2021\/02\/why-i-enrolled-in-qcs-color-consultant-course\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">VERY different once dry<\/a>. By the time I realized that I didn&#8217;t like the color, it was too late. I also did not want to upset my husband (even though I knew he was thinking the same exact thing). This had proven to be a costly mistake.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;23415&#8243; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; animation=&#8221;None&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221;][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][vc_column_text]\n<h4>Picking the Perfect Beige<\/h4>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][vc_column_text]So, what did we learn? Is the point of my story that you should\u00a0<em>never<\/em> paint a room beige? Of course not! It&#8217;s just a matter of picking the RIGHT beige.\n\nThis is where it&#8217;s crucial that we talk about <a href=\"\/2017\/03\/designers-guide-energy-efficient-lighting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">lighting<\/a>. Lighting can make a major difference in the undertones your client winds up seeing when they look at their wall(s). For example, a yellow light or incandescent light will highlight any pink undertones a beige color has. On the flip side, using a white fluorescent light will help make the beige appear less pink.\n\n(This would have been very helpful knowledge for me back in the day. But then again, this is exactly why I&#8217;m now learning and getting trained in my Color Consultant certification course. So, no regrets!)\n\nHere&#8217;s a useful tip: once you&#8217;ve chosen a variety of beige paint chips and are back in your client&#8217;s home, place them in a row, in multiple rooms. Then move from room to room. See how the colors change and look different, according to the lighting.\n\nThis will help you choose the perfect beige![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Learning_from_Your_Mistakes_as_a_Color_Consultant\"><\/span>Learning from Your Mistakes as a Color Consultant<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][vc_column_text]These are some of the mistakes I have personally encountered first-hand.

Her bedroom is currently too loud and stimulating, and has a lot of yellow throughout.\n\nAs part of this assignment, my client would like the room to be more peaceful. Thus, I need to create a place where she can unwind and fall asleep. I&#8217;m told that my client likes to paint.
