What colors are supposed to be 'happy' colors? I am wanting to paint a room and am considering a mint green.

Green is generally reckoned to be soothing - green rooms in theatres ar to calme the artistes down before going on stage. Happy colours are pink, red, orange and yellow - reminiscent of sunshine and flowers and Tequila Sunrises - guaranteed to get anyone happy.





That said the effect is more to do with the depth and chroma of the colur you are using and what you put with it. A very fresh aqua/mint may be fairly happy - usually to make them subtle light green tones tend to be a bit grey which can be slightly depressing.

I think a mint green room is an optimistic color. Don't choose a bright mint green, or that will just be nasty. I would recommend a color called " white mint" from Sherwin William's. It is light enough in color that it will coordinate with other colors in your room. Another "happy" color is yellow. Once again, don't choose a bright yellow. A soft yellow, is welcoming and pleasant to the eye. "Chamomile" is a good choice, also from Sherwin William's. Your decor also has an impact on how you feel in a room. So choose a comforter that you really like and pictures for your walls that you really are fond of. Good luck, and I hope you like your room when you have finished!
Reply:, I don't know about happy colors. But colors are either warm or cool colors. Reds, yellows, oranges, pinks are warm colors. Blues, greens , are cool colors.
