4. Pink:
Pink is a subtler, softer version of red and evokes an atmosphere of femininity, compassion, and gentleness. It is also a nurturing and calming colour. It would look great in bedrooms of young girls or teenagers, who may more often be into the colour pink anyway!

5. Blue:
Blue has several shades, all of which have interesting to know effects on the atmosphere of a home.
