Colors are children of light and light is
vital for life. (Goethe).
Color is light
divided into different wavelengths.
Colors are wavelengths of energy that
appear to us as color due to an object’s ability to absorb
or reflect light.
An apple
is red because it absorbs all colors but red.
What is light?
Quantum physics teaches that light is both
a wave and a particle, thus containing two different forms of energy
simultaneously.
„Light is the underlying principle of
all appearances. We, our bodies and spirit are light.“ (Georg
Feuerstein)
„Fifty years of intensive thinking have
not brought me closer to the answer to “What are light quantums?”
(Albert Einstein)
There has always been a mystical relationship
between light and life.
Light and color are a unity. Color cannot exist
without light.
Meaning & Effects of Colors
Light and color have an intensive
effect on both body and spirit. Consciously or unconsciously we
react physically, mentally and emotionally to the interplay of colors.
The basic rule for physical reactions to colors
is: the red part of the spectrum creates tension and the blue area
creates relaxation.
On a mental level color changes our perception,
so that a red room appears smaller than a blue one, for example.
Colors influence the feelings of the observer
in accordance with the physical perceptions and related psychological
associations that developed from early childhood on.
