Colours around us

We’ve chosen three books which might appeal to you, to show you how colour has an impact on us. Published research makes it clear that the colours on the surfaces around us have a big effect on what goes on in our heads.  They make it more likely that we’ll feel physically and [restrict] mentally comfortable in a space and that we’ll get along well with the people we share it with, for example.  Selecting colours is a serious endeavor, but one that science can drive to a successful outcome.
