배색의 효과가 인체에 미치는 영향 = EFFECTS OF COLOR COMBINTION ON HUMAN BODY

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Color energy has as great effects on human body as the light energy. Of course, depending upon types and characteristics, the reations and the benefits vary. Each human body organ only responds to the specific color. Hence, we are unconsciously attracted to the color that creates harmony with our body. The harmonic union between our body and the right colors leaves us in a pheasant mood, and this pleasant mood leads to the psychological comfort, which in turn enhances our physical and mental health. In contrast, we are instinctively with drawn from mismatched colorations. Pleasant state of mind has a positive effect on health and unpleasant state of mind has a negative effect on health.
Activity rates of our five senses are as follows : the sense of taste 1∼3%, the sence of smell 2%, the sense of touch 3∼15%, the sense of 7∼20% and the sense of sight 60∼87%. Obviousely, our reliance on the visual sensory is the greatest even though there still are different on going arguements debating this theory.
When the light hits the retina of eyes, sensory cells absorb the light energy and carry on a chemical reation, resulting the structural alterations on particles in the sensory cells. Simultaneousely, the chemical reaction releases the electronic energy. Then, neurons get excited due to the built up electronic pressure. Excited neurons stimulate the central nerve system, which is resposible for many hormonal secretions, to activate the internal secretions. Light as in colors operates on the skin and nerves. This operation influnces the functions of lung, liver, kidney, and all other organs. The sight factor of tonality can play a positive or a negative role on life. Modern days, people are suffering from the wide spread sight pollution causing physical disorders. Often times usage of pure colors cannot be avoided such as in flags, traditional colorations, traffic lights, etc.. However, other than the necessary occasions, try not to use offensive and stimulating color combinations. Simulation and excitment of the visual sensory system cause direct effects on body organs. Therefore, surroundings should be avoided in using red, orage, and yellow colorings, and black color must be avoided in all cases. Instead, pascal coloration, bright and soft coloration, are recommended.
Color-Sociology studies different cultures using the coloration only. The pure colorations give a primitive look. whereas pascal colorations give a calm and elegant look. Therefore, we should use the bright, clear, and soft coloration to create a healthier environment.
