Colour is an essential part of our well-being. Colour can make us feel happy or sad. It can inspire us, comfort us and even reduce pain. We are constantly under the influence of colour, far more than we might imagine, yet most of us are unaware of the powerful impact colours have on our behaviour and emotions.
