The Emotional Pull of Colour
Colours are more than visual experiences — they’re emotional signals. You’re drawn to certain colours because they reflect your inner world, your needs, your energy and the feelings you’re moving through.
Your favourite colours often shift as your life changes, revealing what you’re seeking or expressing at that moment.
