Colours can greatly influence(影响) our feelings, behaviour, and thoughts. When planning a study space, understanding the effects(效果) of colours is important.
Research by Kwallek shows that blue can help us think and learn better. Using blue in a study space can help us relax and stay focused for a longer time. Red can help us focus on details(细节). A study by Elliot found that red can help us do better on tasks that need attention to details. Too much red can feel like a lot, but adding this colour in study places in a smart way, like having some red flowers, can help people focus better.
Green, as the colour of nature, has a relaxing effect. Adding plants to your study space can create(创造) a peaceful mind, leading to a more enjoyable and effective studying experience. The colour yellow helps us become more innovative. A study by Hemphill found that yellow can help us think up new ideas. Adding yellow in a study place can encourage our new thinking. However, too much yellow may make you feel uncomfortable.
Right use of colours in different sections of a study space can make a difference. For example, calming colours like blue or green can be used in relaxation corners, while brighter colours like yellow or red can be used in active study sections.
The effects of colours are also connected(联系) to lighting in a study place. Research by Fotios highlights that both colour and lighting are important for eye comfort. We'd better use natural light and well-designed lighting that are friendly to eyes.
While research shows that colours can influence us, personal likes are important too. The best study space is one that matches personal tastes. Alison prefers pink and green for her study area. She believes these colours give a sense of sweetness and help her focus better while studying. She painted the walls a light pink and added green plants for a touch of nature. By choosing colours that match her tastes, Alison created a comfortable space that can improve her learning experience.
To design an effective study place, it's important to think about personal likes, lighting, and colour effects in different sections.
1. Which of the following colours can help us focus on details?
A. Blue. B. Red. C. Green. D. Yellow.
2. The word "innovative" in Paragraph 3 probably means
A. creative B. active C. special D. beautiful
3. The writer probably agrees that
A. blue can bring more relaxation than green
B. more colours should be used in a study place
C. colour effects can influence our personal tastes
D. colour effects have something to do with lighting
4. What is the writer's main purpose in writing this passage?
A. To introduce some studies on colour effects.
B. To help us solve home designing problems.
C. To suggest how to choose colours for a study space.
D. To show the connection between colours and health.
