Colour
Colour and light have always been a colossal part of the existence of human beings. One can appreciate colours’ significance with regards to changes within nature and its effects on people. Colour is one of the major factors that determine how one relates to their environment, as well as how that environment looks and feels.  (Sun, 1992, 139) the author continues to explain that the wrong colour choices within a certain space, could imbalance ones spychological and physiological wellbeing.

Complementary

Complementary colours are based on the fundamentals of Taoism, strongly related to the concept of yin and yang. The two opposing forces of yin and yang can be related to complementary colours, and is also closely related to healing environments, using colour therapies.  (Sun, 1992, 50) suggests that to use the principle of complementary clours one has to have an equal amount of colours to start off with, otherwiset the principle will not work, as it in concerned with balance of opposites.

The author contineues to explain that if two complimentary colours with equal intensity are placed together they will create a very strong contrast, in turn this could have a subtle or dramatic effect within a space. Complemetary colours give the feeling of completion of a space, the space will feel whole.  (Sun, 1992, 51) with regards to yin and yang, warm colours are considered yang, or masculine, and cold coluors are associated with yin, or feminity. Withinn each concept, exists a bit of the other.

Emotional colour

(Sun, 1992, 53) explains that scientific evidence suggests that light of certain colours can indricetly affect ones emtions. Colour influences the mind as it does the body, however people respond differently to certain colours. Some colours within a space can create a sense of calm whereas other colours are more vibrant and create a sense of dynamism and movement. Colour choices can however be overrided by peples personalities, their living conditions, ones circumstances, ones innermost desirtes as well as possibly subconsois decisions.
