If you are repainting a room that you are going to use to relax in you will want to use a color that will lower your heart rate.
If you are painting your home gym you will want one that will raise your heart rate. The color red.
The color yellow can actually raise your heart rate.
The color blue and purple lower it.
While yellow can raise your heart rate it can also improve your concentration which is why legal note pads are yellow. Yellow would be a very good color choice for a home office or a hobby room.
The color red is a tricky color; it can raise your heart rate and evoke passion and energy or is can make you frustrated or angry. This color is a popular choice in bedrooms or accent walls. If you use this as an accent wall you will be able to have a more muted reaction to it.
If you are looking to repaint a living room or dining room think about what you want the mood to be in there.
If you want an energetic and vibrant living room go with a bolder color like yellow.
But if you want a more relaxed casual living room to kick back in then think blues and greens and purples. It is very important to think about what mood you want for a room and what you do in that room before you repaint.
Keep in mind that colors can really change how you feel especially if you are looking at them on a daily basis.
Whichever you choose make sure to have a variety of rooms. You will want a relaxing room every once in a while and you will want a high energy room as well.
