Maybe your parents or even your teachers at school have told us that seeing a green landscape outside, such as trees or hills, has good benefits for our eyes.
So far, there seems to be no definitive research on the benefits of green on eye health, and it's still just a suggestion from parents. However, actually seeing certain colors, including green, is not just “refreshing” the eyes, you know. Psychologically, green has an influence on mood and our thoughts, and make us feel calmer.
Based on the published report Kompas.com, color is known to have an influence on our psychology and emotions. Color is also a form of nonverbal communication that can express messages instantly and have more meaning.
The science that uses color for therapy is called colourology (use color for healing). This method has long been used and developed in ancient Egyptian and Chinese society or during ancient cultures.
Our eyes can perceive 7 million different colors. However, there are several main colors that can have an impact on health and mood. Each color emits a different wavelength of energy and has a different effect.
The psychological effect of green
As described in Colour-Affects.co.uk, there are 4 main colors that influence our daily psychology, namely red, blue, yellow, and green. They are associated with body, mind, emotions, and the important balance between the three.
Green means balance. It has positive benefits for us, for example bringing harmony in everyday life, balancing emotions, refreshing eyes and minds, calming, making us care about the environment, balancing thoughts, and bringing peace.
However, green color also has "side effects" such as it can make us feel bored, it just feels like that, making us weak and weak.
When our eyes see something green or green, our eyes don't need any adjustments, so we feel comfortable and calm when we see them. When we see green, we will feel the presence of nature, like the presence of water, and feel safe because there is less sense of danger.
Green is considered a calming and relaxing color, perfect for people who are tense or need to balance their emotions and create openness between you and others. Green is also associated with the heart chakra, so this color is believed to help emotional problems, such as love, trust, and affection.
The researchers also found that green can improve reading skills for students. Those who are used to reading written material on transparent green sheets will increase their reading speed and comprehension. Maybe because the effect of this green color is relaxing and calming our minds.
So, at least we know that the effect or benefit of seeing green is more than just “refreshing” the eyes. Even though the eyes may not be healthier after seeing green, at least the mind will be calmer.
