Pinkish hues have recently saturated many sunsets throughout the Litchfield Hills – leaving me to ponder the truthfulness of the sky’s color as an indicator of fair weather as I anxiously await the arrival of spring. It turns out that there is a correlation between a pinkish night sky and mild weather in the near future. The sunset that is seen in the east is a reflective mirage of the sun’s rays as it is setting in the west. When the air is densely populated with dust and moisture particles, the reddish hues that are reflected become visible to the human eye and are indicative of high pressure, stable weather that will soon be headed eastward.
Color influences our daily lives; consciously through beliefs and choices and subconsciously via emotions.
Spring is a time of renewal. Warmer temperatures and melting snow often create an urge to refresh our surroundings and homes. A carefully chosen color scheme is a great way to dramatically affect the ambiance of a space. It’s important to determine the purpose and desired energy of a given area prior to painting or decorating. Are you looking to brighten the mood and engage in lively play? Relax after a long day? Entertain and converse? Fresh paint, both on the interior and exterior of your home, can quickly change the energy that it emits. When choosing colors, consider how the psychological effects of each color may help you to achieve your goals.
Join the Berkshire Mountains in their rejuvenation to welcome spring. Experiment with color to refresh your home’s personality with an energy that compliments the spirit and lifestyle of those who share these spaces.
