In keeping with our recent discussions on colors and their impact and importance in healthcare design, Wikoff Design Studio recently remodeled the Reno Ronald McDonald House family room using purples, golds and yellows.  Take a look at some of the pictures from the project and read the descriptions of the colors and their benefits from the Parkin Color Chart below.

When designing, the color Gold promotes enthusiasm, balance of thoughts and feelings, and wisdom.  It helps to treat depression, stress and anxiety.

Yellow promotes uplifting, cleansing, self respect, self-confidence, self-control, ability to rationalize, contentment and mental stimulation.  It helps to treat depression, despair, fatigue, negativity, sensitivity to criticism and lack of confidence.

Indigo (or purple) promotes wisdom, intuition, understanding, spirituality, peace, calm and inspiration.  It helps to treat anger, obsession, psychosis, insomnia and anxiety.
