For some, a warm and cozy red library or fireplace room makes an ideal gathering spot. Others would trade the intensity of red for a lighter, affectionate tone. For them, a blush of rose has the same tonic effect.

Ambers, peaches, or corals in eating areas spark appetites and electrify the conversation; lemon, jasmine, and golden yellows unleash creative juices in studios and home offices.

Pacifying colors -- blue, green, and purple -- stay reservedly in the background, cooling, calming, and reenergizing weary spirits. Put them in rooms for resting and refueling.

Pale, serene greens slip quietly into a living room, bedroom, or reading room, hushing it with a whisper. Medium greens connect to nature, grounding and freshening the spirits of a home office, family room, or spa. Deep greens comfort a library, bedroom, or sitting room. But lime and parrot greens tend to waken and activate.

Blues and purples work meditative wonders. Pale azure and glacier blues wash a room in coolness and unstructured serenity. Proud, strong blues work responsibility and contentment into the mood. Pale purple-blues prompt reflection and dreaming.
