The medical profession (healing) is coming up all the sudden. Two indications are a post I made in Sorcery forum on dentist/doctors and also I just recalled about a hospital, I forgot which one, but it opened up near where I lived and they painted their walls a color...I forget which one but a light airy color and it was to get away from sterile white, which the administrator there said was cold, and they wanted to give their patients a sense of healing but in an upbeat way so they employed color and other things as well (decor). Many such hospitals have followed suit. And schools too,...instead of generic white, some schools try to get a color that is energizing for learning but not so energizing the kids are bouncing off the walls, lol. The school my husband teaches at used a form of yellow, not too bright or saturated...sort of muted with some white, but still a stimulating color. I told my husband if he added purple to his room decor, the contrast color of yellow, he would enhance the effect of yellow...complementary colors are red-green, yellow-purple and blue-orange. They are called compliments because each color makes the other one appear more vivid and alive. They are also called contrast because they highlight differences by being opposite...one is cool the other is warm, one projects out, the other recedes. Van Gogh used complimentary colors a lot to give 'life and energy' to his paintings. A lot of artists employ them, him the most though.

I like to dress with complimentary colors, such as if I have a red sweater, I like to have a green top or perhaps just some part of green somewhere. My favorite combo is green and pink which is technically not complimentary but very close becasue pink is red with white added.
Colors communicate. They speak a language without words, words bypassed and go straight to feeling. For example, the apartment I used to live at had dark brown floors and dark brown furniture. When the realtor showed us the one we are in now, it had white floors and lighter furniture. I subconsciously noted that and then realized later how important such a shift was to me. It said "things are lighter here". Its what I was looking for. If I had lived here and then viewed the old apartment, perhaps I would have been attracted to the dark brown, "thinks are earthier here" lol, who knows. I say there are no right or wrong colors only moods/feelings and interpretations, and so there are more than one interpretation of colors. Also, they are like musical notes in that whatever notes (colors) are next to them changes their mood, and thus communication.
