1. BASIC COLOR SCHEMES INTRO TO COLOR THEORY
Color is an integral element of our world, not just in the natural environment but also in the man-made architectural environment. Color always played a role in the human evolutionary process. The environment and its colors are perceived, and the brain processes and judges what it perceives on an objective and subjective basis. Psychological influence, communication, information, and effects on the psyche are aspects of our perceptual judgment processes. Hence, the goals of color design in an architectural space are not relegated to decoration alone.

2. COLORS COLORS AFFECT PEOPLE PHYSICALLY MENTALLY
