Here are the effects of different color temperatures of light on people’s emotions:
Warm color temperature (2700K – 3500K):
- It can create a warm, comfortable and relaxing atmosphere, which helps relieve stress and anxiety, and makes people feel warm and at ease. It is suitable for places such as bedrooms and leisure areas, and can promote people to relax and enter a state of rest.
- It may cause a certain degree of laziness.
Neutral color temperature (around 4000K):
- It gives people a sense of nature, peace and tranquility, neither too enthusiastic nor too cold, making people’s emotions relatively stable. This color temperature is more suitable in spaces such as living rooms and study rooms, which can provide a comfortable environment conducive to concentrating.
- Relatively speaking, it has less irritation to emotions.
Cold color temperature (above 5000K):
- It will bring a feeling of freshness, brightness and vitality, which can enhance people’s spirit and attention, and make people more energetic and active. It is often used in kitchens, bathrooms, work areas, etc., which can help people stay awake and efficient.
- However, if it is in this light environment for a long time, it may cause a certain amount of tension or irritability.
For example, in the cold winter, the warm color temperature light will make people feel warmer and more comfortable; while in the environment where concentrated work is required, the neutral or slightly cold color temperature light can help maintain mental agility. Different people may have different feelings and reactions to the color temperature, and it is necessary to choose the appropriate color temperature light according to personal preferences and actual needs.
