Not everyone responds to colors the same

Notes:

• Despite the colors we’ve used in our examples, it’s important to remember that many people react to colors differently. This could be due to certain colors reminding you of things or moments in your past, either positively or negatively, or it could be down to where you live and that culture.
• For example, according to verywellmind, the color white in the west equals purity, while in the East it symbolizes mourning.
• Of course, the color scheme of the house above may not be everyone’s ideal layout nor cup of tea, so here are the most important things to remember when picking colors for your home.
