Hi! Welcome to my spot in the world.

I'm Max the Pug. I want to tell you about some interesting, entertaining, and maybe some educational stuff here.

Follow me around. You won't be sorry!

• Red- Increases energy and heart rate, creates excitement and stimulates the appetite.

Best for:  Dining rooms.

• Orange- Adds comfort, warmth and cheerfulness, but too much can bring about feelings of 
  cautiousness.

Best for:  Living rooms and family rooms.

• Yellow- Brightens mood and promotes welcoming and joyful feelings; increases positive thinking.

Best for:  Poorly lit foyers and dark hallways; buttery shades of yellow for living rooms.

• Green- Most restful color. Reduces nervous system activity and muscular tension, calms and 
  relaxes, offers reminders of nature.

Best for:  Living rooms (light greens); accent for kitchens and dining rooms (mid-tones)

• Blue- Promotes feelings of calmness, security, tranquility and cleanliness; lowers blood pressure, 
  cools a room and serves as an appetite suppressant.

Best for:  Bedrooms or any restful, peaceful area in the home. 

• Purple- Boosts creativity, imagination and meditation, but can have unpleasant subconscious 
  responses. Many adults dislike purple on walls, particularly lighter shades of purple that are 
  perceived as more youthful.

Best for:  Children's bedrooms and play areas.."

"Color is always a very personal choice," Debbie Zimmer of The Rohm and Haas Paint Quality Institute adds. "So color choices can be subtle. A color doesn't have to be McDonald's yellow or Red Roof Inn red to be noticed. It can be a derivative or a subtle tint or tone of those particular colors to create the warming effect buyers want in a home."
