Color in our environment has been proven to cause an emotional response in both adults and children. The bedroom is where we start and end each day and, therefore, the items in it should be given some thought in which colors they contain, specifically with children.
Reds
Red curtain
Science has shown that red has a tendency to increase heart rate, blood pressure and adrenaline. Reds evoke emotions with energy, which is contrary to what children need to do in their bedrooms--sleep.
Greens
Green Shade
Green often is representative of both money and nature, which might reflect its long-known attributes of producing a dichotomy of both indecision and balance/harmony. Although children are not yet able to understand these concepts, the result is often confusion and discomfort.
Blues
Blue paper
Blue has long been associated with stillness, as in the calm waters of the ocean, thoughtfulness and contemplation. This might be ideal for a bedroom color choice to soothe and lullea child to sleep; however, blues also have a tendency to produce feelings of depression and withdrawal.
Yellows
Yellow flower
yellow reminds us of the sun, it is commonly associated with sass, egocentricity, happiness and confidence--all very high-energy associations. Within a bedroom setting, this would likely promote wakefulness in your child.
Pinks
Pink wallpaper
Pink often reflects a notion of immaturity, softness and femininity, along with creativity. Pinks work well in a child's bedroom because they are calming.
Oranges
Orange Ties
Perhaps because orange is a mixture of red and yellow, it seems to combine the attributes of each to produce stimulation, playfulness, sociability and encouragement. Again, not an ideal choice for a child's bedroom in which they'll need to sleep.
