The Psychology of Color in Healthcare

Color therapy, also known as chromatherapy, is the principle that certain colors are infused with healing powers. The seven colors of the rainbow improve balance and healing in the mind and body. This form of therapy also works in conjunction with hydrotherapy and aromatherapy to enhance the healing effect. Ayurveda is an ancient form of medicine associated with color therapy practiced in India for years. It uses the energies inherent in the colors of the spectrum to restore balance within the individual. Those who practice color therapy relate the seven colors of the spectrum to specific areas of the body known as the chakras. In ancient Egypt, “Egyptians designed special healing temples which captured and split the sun’s rays into its component colors creating light-bathing rooms used by Egyptian physicians.” We can implement color therapy in our daily routine in a number of ways. Wearing clothing or eating foods of specific colors, exposing the body to color lights, massaging the body with color saturated oils, or envisioning colors are methods of color therapy.  Environmentally, painting walls and selecting particular colors for window treatments, furnishings, and trimmings are also forms of color therapy known to have positive health benefits. Research shows color directly influences human behavior. Knowing the basic principles of each color and how to use it accurately is important in creating an environment suitable for residential or healthcare settings. Color plays a significant role in how people respond to time spent in a particular space. For example, the coloring of walls and fabrics for a space affects a person’s response to that room. Often, this response to color directly correlates with a person’s comfort and well-being. Designers use color to draw attention to or away from interior and exterior elements. This is done to highlight positive design features while minimizing unattractive structural elements. Architects, interior designers, and healthcare administrators put a great deal of thought into creating holistic therapeutic environments. For instance, the color selection for a patient’s room depends on how long someone will reside there. A neutral or pastel color scheme may be suitable in a hospital room where the patient is likely to stay only a week. However, in a long-term-care facility, a patient spends large quantities of time in one room, and such a color scheme can become boring, as well as difficult to use for people with low vision. Long-term care facilities and nursing homes should provide rooms with a balance of color and a mixture of contrasting tones. Essentially, the idea is to keep the space fresh and interesting with clearly defined visual cues. The color and interior design of a space is an issue of comfort as well as functionality. Specialized facilities, like those for people with Alzheimer’s disease, should avoid patterns because they create confusion. A room should be more recognizable by color than by function. Using high contrast of color schemes is more effective in enhancing residents’ functionality than are monochromatic color schemes. For this reason, raised surfaces should stand out strongly from floors. Adding a band of contrasting color to countertop edges and other raised surfaces can help residents better recognize their living quarters. Therefore, whenever possible, facilities should use color contrast to help people perceive space and depth more clearly. When decorating a space the colors red, blue, yellow, and green can be used to restore people’s health. These colors relate correspondingly to the body, mind, and emotions—and the essential balance among them. According to cocolor connections com, the psychological properties of these colors are as follows: Red raises blood temperature and stimulates circulation. Red is used to care for people with anemia, fatigue, paralysis, and exhaustion. Blue is soothing. It is used for cases of inflammatory conditions, burns, and bruises. It also helps with eczema, psoriasis, rashes, and sores. In addition, blue helps alleviate tension, stress, and problems with the immune system. It is believed to relieve insomnia, anxiety, high blood pressure, migraines, and skin irritation. Yellow is used to aid digestion as well as the liver and intestine process. Yellow is thought to have decongestant and antibacterial properties to act as a cleanser for the body. It has been known to help relieve rheumatism and arthritis. Green creates balance and harmony within the body. It is especially good for heart and blood problems. It is known to influence the human cell structure and muscles. Orange gives vitality to the body and is associated with the kidneys, urinary tract, and reproductive organs. Purple is associated with the eyes, ears, nose, and mouth. It helps with head congestion and sinuses, and is known to calm the nervous system. At times color therapy has been known to generate an overwhelming emotional response in individuals. It is important to refrain from overdoing spaces with too much color. Whether color is used to encourage healing or to enhance use of a space, color therapy can be exceptionally powerful.
