THE MEANING OF COLOURS IN PSYCHOLOGY: 

(Extracted from: http://www.empower-yourself-with-color-psychology.com/meaning-of-colors.html). 

RED: is the color of energy, passion, ambition and determination. It is also considered the color of anger and sexual passion. 

ORANGE: is the color of social communication and optimism. From a negative color meaning, it is also a sign of pessimism and superficiality.

YELLOW: is the color of the mind and the intellect. It is optimistic and cheerful. However, it can also suggest impatience, criticism and cowardice. 

GREEN: is the color of balance and growth. It can mean both self-reliance as a positive and possessiveness as a negative, among many other meanings.  

BLUE: is the color of trust and peace. It can suggest loyalty and integrity as well as conservatism and frigidity. 

PURPLE: is the color of the imagination. It can be creative and individual or immature and impractical. 

TURQUOISE: means communication and clarity of mind. It can also be impractical and idealistic.

Pink: is unconditional love and nurturing. Pink can also be immature, silly and girlish.

Magenta: is a color of universal harmony and emotional balance. It is spiritual yet practical, encouraging common sense and a balanced outlook on life.

Brown: is a friendly yet serious, down-to-earth color that relates to security, protection, comfort and material wealth.

Grey: is the color of compromise - being neither black nor white, it is the transition between two non-colors. It is unemotional and detached and can be indecisive. 

Gold: is the color of success, achievement and triumph. Associated with abundance and prosperity, luxury and quality, prestige and sophistication, value and elegance, the color psychology of gold implies affluence, material wealth and extravagance.

Black: is the color of the hidden, the secretive and the unknown, creating an air of mystery. It keeps things bottled up inside, hidden from the world.
