Yellowpaint colors
Yellow, if not the brightest, is one of the brightest paint colors. As it is, it is the color that the eye reacts to first. Because of this attribute, yellows are best used to accentuate as opposed to being used as a base color for warm interiors.

Green
Greens are deeply associated with nature making this the color of choice when you want to convey a relaxing mood. However, darker shades of green can also be used to portray wealth and abundance.

Blue
Blue on the other hand is associated with water and the sky giving off a sense of being fresh and cool. Also, using dark shades of blue will suggest the feeling of stability and commitment.

Purple
Purple the color of kings and nobles. In olden times, purple can only be worn either by royalty or by the wealthy. Until today it is used to give out the mood of nobility and monarchy. Rarely used in wall paint colors, purple is best used on drapes and other accent pieces.

These are just some of the colors that you can use to evoke mood and feeling to room that you want to design. Just remember to have a clear vision and plan before you start choosing paint colors.
