With space being a primary concern, the need forhospital environments to be optimised to improve patient well-being and speed up recovery times to relievethe pressure on these spaces is a paramount concern. Research is being conducted into how the psychologyof a space can affect its users. One of these research areas is colour.  \nColour psychology examines the impact of hues on human behaviour and well-being. It’s a well-understoodfact that certain colours have particular connotations, such as red provoking images of passion or danger.But, it’s also a factor in how humans read and react to certain situations. Colour has been proven toinfluence behaviour and reactions to medications, including placebosin medical trials. Extensive research hasbeen carried out into the implications of colour and human behaviour.  \nContour Heating have now created this detailed guide to how the colour of a space could be used toimprove patient well-being and recovery times and relieve the pressure on our stretched healthcare sector.  \nWith our extensive guide to colour psychology, you will learn how to create healthcare spaces withcombinations of shades and tones that will improve the atmosphere and aid the recovery of service users.  \nThis book will:  \n• Teach you the science of colour psychology and the impact that the research has had on thehealthcare sector.  \n• Explore colour association and how it has affected the way spaces are designed and certain industriesuse this to their advantage.  \n• Discuss which tones are considered warm and cool colours and how they are most effectively used.  \n• Introduce you to how Contour Heating uses colour psychology in their product designs to provideheating solutions with additional design benefits for service users.  \n• Explore a case study into colour psychology: Leighton Hospital, where Contour have worked toprovide colour specific heating solutions to improve patient well-being.  \n1  \n# Table Of Content\n\nColour Psychology  \nChapter One: The Science Behind Colour Psychology  3Chapter Two: Colour Association   6Chapter Three: Warm Colours   8Chapter Four: Cool Colours   10Chapter Five: How Does Contour Fit Into This Conversation?   12  \nChapter Six: Leighton Hospital: A Colour LST Case Study   14  \nAbout Contour  \nAcknowledgements  \n2  \n# Chapter One\n\nThe Science Of Colour Psychology  \nColour psychology has a huge impact on design choices in the marketplace. Whether it’s to brand yourproduct most effectively or create an environment that will inspire service users, colour psychology isrelevant to every aspect of design.  \nResearch into the influence of colours shows that the human brain can be drawn towards - or away from - acompany, product or service, purely because of the brand colour palette.  \nAccording to Psychology Today, 90% of judgements made about products are based on colour alone.  \nColour counts in first impressions. It’s the first thing we notice and the last thing we remember, so it’simportant to get your colour choices right.  \nSo, here’s how the science behind colour psychology works. Once you understand this, you’ll be equippedto make colour choices for allof your product designs.  \nColour tends to be too dependent on personal experience to be universally translated into a widermeaning. This means that we can’t make generalised, concrete statements like, ‘red reminds people ofpassion.’ Because red reminds each individual of something different depending on their continuously evolvingexperiences.  \nHowever, research has noted broader patterns in the moods that colours evoke. These are based onstereotypes and societal conventions that, though evolving, arouse similar associations for large groups ofpeople (i.e. blue = Conservative, red = Labour) .  \nRecent research s","cbCaiiiBmPknV6S7","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiiiBmPknV6S7","pdf",4066734,"English","# Introduction\n# Chapter One\n## How We Perceive Colour\n## Hue\n## Value\n## Chroma\n## The Psychology Behind Colour Preference\n## Biology and Evolution\n## Gender Schema Theory\n# Table Of Content\n# Chapter Two: Colour Association\n# Chapter Three: Warm Colours\n# Chapter Four: Cool Colours\n# Chapter Five: How Does Contour Fit Into This Conversation?\n# Chapter Six: Leighton Hospital: A Colour LST Case Study\n# About Contour\n# Acknowledgements","[{\"question\":\"How does colour psychology relate to healthcare spaces?\",\"answer\":\"The guide explains that research into how spaces affect users includes colour, which can influence mood, behaviour, and even responses linked to medications and placebos.
