Research into colours
In my research, I am searching for
colours that are linked to promoting calmness and reducing anxiety and
stress for my character, but also looking and contrasting colours for my other
character, 'the negative fairy' that promotes these negative emotions such as
depression, anxiety and stress. From my research, I have found evidence
supporting my colour choices of white, violet, pink and turquoise/blue for my
dragon- who I want to have the role of spreading calm and soothing
energy.
From my research, I found that
violet (the colours I am using for the crystals on my dragon) has
"powers" that 'signifies strength, peace, wisdom. Brings balance
and inner peace' ( -https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/life-style/health-fitness/de-stress/7-relaxing-colors-and-how-they-affect-your-mood/articleshow/46946305.cms),
it also 'relaxes the mind and body'
(http://www.psyweb.com/articles/depression/color-therapy-for-depression/) and
according to https://www.getselfhelp.co.uk/colour.htm,
it also is useful with helping with 'stress, anxiety...lack of confidence, low self-esteem
and serve depression'.
I was also hoping to mix indigo with in my colour blend
of the crystals, which also according
to https://www.getselfhelp.co.uk/colour.htm, 'Promotes:
Wisdom, intuition, understanding, spirituality, peace, calm, inspiration' which
is the aesthetic I am trying to achieve with my
dragon. http://www.psyweb.com/articles/depression/color-therapy-for-depression/
says that indigo has a 'calming effect'.
The majority of the design of my
dragon has teals, turquoise and blues for the main skin and body. Blue is
often used in therapy, as it 'reduces tension throughout the body'
(http://www.psyweb.com/articles/depression/color-therapy-for-depression/),-https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/life-style/health-fitness/de-stress/7-relaxing-colors-and-how-they-affect-your-mood/articleshow/46946305.cms
says that blue is 'Peaceful, calm and gentle, blue has tremendous power to
manage stress. It's a very soothing colour that helps calm your mind, slow down
your heart rate, lower your blood pressure and reduce anxiety.' it 'promotes
calm, peace and relaxation' (https://www.getselfhelp.co.uk/colour.htm).
Overall the use of blues and turquoise is Calm, cleansing,
healing' (https://www.getselfhelp.co.uk/colour.htm), 'its suggested that blues,
greens and lavenders ....are thought to have a calming effect. Most people feel
comfortable with blues and greens and turquoises because these colours give a
sense of being clean and fresh -- and calm' (https://www.webmd.com/women/features/color-psychology#2).
