Yellow is also related to clarity and fun. It is one of the colors associated with creativity, as well as mental agility and knowledge.

It's a highly visible color, which is why it is chosen for signs to warn of hazards. Did you know that people who choose it as their favorite color usually have a very strong personality?

In the world of theater, it has been associated with bad luck since the death of French actor Molière on stage a few days after the premiere of the ballet-comedy "The Imaginary Invalid” in 1673. During the performance, he was dressed in yellow.

Green comes from nature, and the first pigments appeared in prehistory and then in Egypt. It was later used to distinguish social classes: green belonged to nobles and bankers.

It is also related to health, which is due to nature in the pleasantness of a walk in the forest or field or the healing properties of plants. It represents mountains, valleys, and all kinds of forest areas. It is the most calming and relaxing color; that's why emotional balance, inner calm, and harmony are associated with green.

Green stimulates creativity, and even if you don't have a garden or terrace at home, you can have indoor plants that will bring color, energy, and joy to your home. A relaxed home out of the chaos of life is always a good idea. Coming home and feeling calm and peaceful is one of the best feelings you can have after a day of stress at work or other worries.
