How can color psychology influence interior design choices and client satisfaction?

Color plays a crucial role in interior design and psychology. Discuss how different colors can affect mood, perception, and client satisfaction. Share your knowledge of color theory and its practical applications in design.

Clients are often influenced by the emotional response that a design evokes. If a design’s color scheme resonates with the client, it can enhance client satisfaction. Conversely, a mismatch between color choices and the client’s expectations for the mood or emotion that they want the color to invoke can lead to dissatisfaction. For example, turquoise blue, is linked to calmness, trust, and professionalism. It is frequently used in healthcare settings because it promotes a sense of security and dependability. Light blue is soothing, while darker shades can communicate strength and reliability. Green is associated with nature, growth, and tranquility. So psychology would suggest that understanding the room’s purpose and how the client wants to “feel” in the room can be a useful guide. I am curious if the psychological associations with color are taught in interior design courses or used by designers.
