Warm colors affect us like coffee in the morning. They temporarily tone the nervous system, briefly increasing a person’s performance, and then bright, flashy colors begin to depress it - and the person has no resources left for active activity. These colors are great for sports facilities.
On the contrary, cool colors in the interior calm the nervous system. They help to use the body’s resources wisely and maintain performance longer. In addition, they allow you to quickly relieve tension and calm a person. These colors are great for rooms where you have to do mental work and often work at the computer.
