p>                How we all look forward to the holiday season...a season filled with joy, cheerfulness, and love. With the passing of Halloween, we somehow switch into “holiday mode” and start thinking of spending time with friends, family and colleagues. We find ourselves in our garages, pulling out our much treasured holiday ornaments and collectibles, which will fill our homes with a radiant glow. While we’re designing our homes this season, let’s not forget how we can use color and, as importantly, color tone or value, to enhance the feelings of “home for the holidays”. This aspect of color, by the way, is known as “visual temperature”, and we can apply the same principles to the colors of our lives even after the holidays, when we want to freshen our homes with the coming of spring and summer. br />                 Certainly, we can still use our much loved reds and greens for our Christmas decorations, and those fabulous blues, silvers, and whites for our Chanukah ornaments, but let’s take a closer look at the way color, and specifically, the value of color actually can make us feel, physically and emotionally. br />                 Light IS color, and color IS light (the visible light we can see). Therefore, light or color IS energy, and, believe it or not, we not only see color, but we can actually feel and hear it (this is known as “cellular interaction”). As energy, warmer colors, such as yellow, orange, and red have longer wavelengths. The longer the wavelength of a color, the easier it is to live with and the more energized we feel. On the other hand, cooler colors have shorter, even broken, wavelengths and can lower one’s energy level. br />                 Generally speaking, the warm colors, namely those with a yellow undertone, are more active colors. They speed up our perception of time and produce feelings that are warm, cozy, and inviting. We often associate them with excitement, happiness, and comfort. Cool colors, which have a bluer undertone, recede, rather than advance as the warm colors do. Cools generate feelings of calm and peacefulness, but often can invoke feelings of sadness and withdrawal. br />                 The visual temperature of a color is easily identifiable when putting objects in the same color family, such as red or blue, next to each other on a white sheet. You will instantly be able recognize the warmer tones and the cooler ones. With this principle in mind, we can enhance the friendliness of our spaces (our homes) and the overall positive energy simply by selecting the warmer tones of golds, reds, greens, blues, silvers, and whites (look at various white paints and you will see varying tones of warms and cools). br />                 During the holidays, we want to draw our family and friends together and invite them into our lives. Since warm colors are more inviting by nature, look for warm orangey reds, yellower greens, and warm bronzed golds for our Christmas decorations. Similarly, for Chanukah, accessorize our homes with warm blues, bronzier silvers, and warm yellow whites. These warmer colors will help to promote more energy in our lives and more positive thoughts and feelings. They will create that warm holiday glow which will radiate throughout our homes, drawing our loved ones together and filling the holiday season with energy, joy, and those warm, cozy feelings of love and happiness. Happy Holidays and happy decorating
