Secret of Happiness in Colors: Colors not only add color to our life but also leave an impression on our thoughts. Every color has its own story, which is enough to change our mood. Experts believe that bright colors like yellow or orange double the inner satisfaction and happiness, the reason for which is the increased level of dopamine hormone. Dopamine level increase due to colors and then life becomes happy! 

What is dopamine?

Dopamine is a neurotransmitter and hormone that works in the brain. It is a chemical messenger and transmits messages between nerve cells. Although it has no color, color does have an effect on dopamine. Scientific research shows that different colors activate different parts of your brain.

According to Dr Ashok Sharma, Chief Medical Officer (SAG) of AYUSH Directorate Delhi and in-charge of IHBAS unit, our life is like a rainbow, our emotions are different, sometimes we are happy, sometimes we are sad... sometimes life is full of enthusiasm and we see many colours and sometimes we are sad and life becomes colourless. A lot of research has also been done on this.

Now the question arises that how does this happen?

According to health experts, colours send messages to the hypothalamus of the brain, they change your mood and have the power to release hormones. According to psychologists, especially yellow and orange colours are associated with happiness. Yellow colour signifies cheerfulness and satisfaction.

A research found that happy people choose yellow color for their emotions, while sad people choose grey color. The 'smiley' made in yellow is the biggest example of this happiness, which was created by a designer in 1960 to improve the mood of employees.

Blue color calms the mood

According to health experts, blue colour also calms the mood and the trend of 'dopamine dressing' on social media also shows that some people feel happy by wearing bright coloured clothes.
