Colour has an intense effect on our moods and minds. As per vastu, colour can influence the mood of the inhabitants from sad to happy, fearful to confident. Each colour has a different effect – while some make you want to get out of your chair, others make you want to settle down and read. Here, I’ve written about five vastu bedroom colours and the effects certain specific hues have on people.
