INTRODUCTION
Color is an integral element of our world, not just in the natural environment but
also in the man-made architectural environment. Color always played a role in the
human evolutionary process. The environment and its colors are perceived, and
the brain processes and judges what it perceives on an objective and subjective
basis. Psychological influence, communication, information, and effects on the
psyche are aspects of our perceptual judgment processes. Hence, the goals of
color design in an architectural space are not relegated to decoration alone.

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES

In today’s societies globally, life is often filled with stress, due to the changes of
life styles. People were more outside their houses. Although regional or cultural
varieties are comprehensive, this fact can be generalized. In such a current status,
houses become very valuable for people as an example of personal space, where
they purify themselves from all the traces of stress. As an object here of this study
the importance of house interiors is tried to be opened up. Besides, the major aim
of the research is to investigate the role of color in human environment, which is
based on psychological aspect in interior spaces.

OUTLINE OF THE STUDY

The general approach of the study is to distinguish the impacts of color on human
perceptions. Further, psychological influence of color is planned to be analyzed in
terms of color suggestions through the interior spaces according to the people’s
needs.

 To provide general explanation about theory of color. In this part, the

numbers of theorist are introduced. Accordingly, it includes brief explanation
about their theories, related to the classification of color system, and the
examination of color, how color is formed, how colors are arranged, and how
they interact.
 To concentrate on psychological aspects of color in terms of humans need.
Throughout this , the secondary colors which have relationship between the
 geometrical shapes because color can shape the space, diminish the volume
or it can make it more pronounced. In doing so, color form relationship is
one of the aspects in a design.
 To present general definition related to process of perception, where the
emphasis is the sense of vision. The main goal of the chapter is to provide
psychological structure, possessions of human’s visual system in general

SCOPE
In regards to the examination of the subject of color, the current research follows
certain limitations. First of all, the study is focused on the major aspects of color
in terms of the hue, value, saturation, color scheme and combination; which all
constitutes the theoretical information part of the study. In addition, relationship
between wall surfaces and contents of the space, furnishing, and textile have

IMPORTANCE OF COLOR PSYCHOLOGY IN INTERIOR SPACES

 This psychological phenomenon can be turned toward your own purposes.
For example, knowledge of how color will affect your thoughts and feelings can
be used to help you decorate or redesign your home to improve your mood,
boost productivity, or provide some other beneficial effect.

 Most colors can be roughly divided into two types: warm colors and cool
colors. Warm colors (also called saturated colors), like red, yellow, and orange,
evoke feelings of activity and passion, and perhaps even anger. Cool colors are
colors such as blue, green, and purple. These cooler colors are associated with
calm, harmony, and peace, but also lassitude, inaction, and sadness.

 Darker colors tend to make a room feel compact and small — maybe even
cozy. Lighter colors, especially if they are on the cool spectrum, will make a
room feel large and airy. You may almost feel as if the walls are receding in a
 room decorated with a cool blue or the like. Color can be a powerful way to
shape your feelings, mentality, and actions

 It’s important to understand that in color psychology, intuition and

personal judgments play a major role. Since there’s no exact science of color
psychology, following your own feelings is necessary. The effects a color can
theoretically have are almost limitless. If a potential arrangement of colors in
your home appeals to you, give it a try. You’ll know by your own experience
what emotional and psychological effects the colors actually have.

CONCLUSION
During this study it was mentioned that color in environment serves a variety of
purposes. Color can make the objects obvious. Many things are recognized by
their color. Color affects mood, emotional response to events and the sense of
physical environment. Furthermore, it emphasized that the effect of color on
human surroundings, especially in living environment. Psychological reactions to
color may differ among various group age and personality types, so this fact might
be very important for residential space. Indeed, color selection for the personal
living units must follow user preference in space.

 The color must be analyzed along with its all three dimensions (hue, value,
saturation).
 Space and its relationship to color must be considered.
 Selected color should provide an appropriate emotional outlet with
consideration of function activities and behaviors of the space user.
