EMOTIONS AND COLORS

PRIMARY EMOTIONS

Just as red, blue, and yellow are the primary colors, our emotional world begins with six primary emotions:

Happiness

Anger

Disgust

Surprise

Sadness

Fear

SECONDARY EMOTIONS

In painting, secondary colors are created by mixing two primary colors: red and blue make purple, red and yellow make orange, and blue and yellow make green.

 

Our emotions can work in a similar way. When two emotions come together, they can create a new one.

 

Sadness, combined with Fear, can lead to Shame.

TERTIARY EMOTIONS

Do you know the secret to creating a beautiful aquamarine color? It's achieved with an unexpected mixture of four colors: phthalocyanine blue, phthalocyanine green, yellow ochre, and white.

​

Our emotions can work in a very similar way. When several emotions combine, they can give rise to a more complex feeling.

 

For example, a mixture of Anger, Surprise, and Disgust could lead to Resentment.
