![]() ![]() This is why it has traditionally been associated with royalty. Purple’s an unnatural color, which is rarely found in nature. Also, a good way to brighten an ugly grayish blue is to add cheerful accents of yellow, orange, or red. ![]() You don’t want a brilliant royal blue unless you have plenty of white to counter it. If you choose blue, look for one with a hint of green and as little gray as possible. My parents once painted their dining room the most depressing blue you could imagine. It combines the cheerfulness of yellow with the mellowness of blue. GreenĪs the most prominent color in nature, it makes sense that green is the easiest on our eyes. Located in the center of the spectrum, it’s the balancing color, so make sure the nursery has a yellow focal point somewhere. ![]() Just like sunshine is necessary for life and happiness but our eyes can’t tolerate large doses, so is yellow best in small quantities. On the other hand, if you have the chin-up baby, flee from orange. If you anticipate a sleepy, sluggish baby that might have trouble gaining weight, orange could be a stimulating color to help you when he won’t wake to eat. That’s because it’s proven that combinations of red and yellow make you hungry. Just as a bright red wall would be overkill, tasteful use of some red accents can balance out those blah colors like white, gray, and hospital blue to transform a dead room into a cheerful, tasteful space.

It might not seem like a big deal now, but you’d be surprised what a toll sleepless nights can inflict. Not only does color affect your baby, but it also affects you, the parents. The subtle influence of a light periwinkle or a gentle yellow can set the stage for your child’s entire outlook on life, especially if this is a color scheme you won’t be changing until they move out. Since babies’ brains are blank canvases, color can be even more powerful. ![]() Both are wonderful, but knowing those personalities can guide your nursery choices. Likewise, if you constantly worry whether your baby’s okay, only to have your OB or midwife reassure you everything’s fine, chances are you have a quiet dreamer. If your unborn baby loves doing chin-ups on your collarbone, you can expect him to be a baby who’s a bundle of energy. You probably already know if your baby’s a wild child. Babies’ personalities are evident even in the womb. Thanks to decades of design research and centuries of color theory, today’s parents can avail themselves of the many advantages of color combinations to bless their baby with a nursery that’s perfect for their home, their family, and their budding personalities. What color should you paint your baby’s nursery? Since most of those questions are beyond the scope of this blog, let’s look at the easy question. Do you plan to nurse or bottlefeed? What kind of diapers will you use? What’ll the baby’s name be? Have you picked out the colors of his nursery? Where’s he going to college?
