Shaping Serenity: The Power of Color and Environment
Episode 415
In this episode of Home in Progress, sponsored by RepcoLite Paints and Benjamin Moore, host Dan Hansen explores the scientific underpinnings of color psychology and how different colors affect our mood and mental health. Dan delves into why blue is calming, red is energizing, and yellow can be overstimulating.
The show also covers practical advice on what never to leave in a hot car, from pets to medications and electronics.
To wrap up, Dan discusses the significant impact of one's environment on mental well-being, including an interesting study from Philadelphia showing how simple environmental changes like mowing grass can reduce crime rates.
