I love what I have learnt in some tools I use to lower my distress. Usually I ground myself I have a turtle bracelet I hold and stare at. My colour is blue and sea green. Ocean colours soothe me. The five senses in sensory stimuli affects you and how you can feel. I learnt. I had a sensory assessment done. Very useful. Mine was I had to be around colour probsbly the artist in me. Lol!

I love colour too Gypsy7, those sea greens and blues especially. Usually pastels but thought this pic was for you. Sometimes I put on those yellow night vision glasses. They brighten everything. call them my 'happy glasses' (colour therapy). Great thread idea. 👍🌷🌿

Wow @Gypsy7 that is really interesting thank you for sharing, I also find green and blue very calming, that is why a walk through a park and just sitting and looking at the leaves and taking in the fresh air calms me down. Or the ocean, it will always help.

I also have some photographs in my house that tend to help me calm down as they are of nature, like the blue sky and the desert. I might have to start painting those colours to see how that goes 🙂

I favourite colour is blue. I being in the ocean and in the bush calming and relaxing. So I guess it's blue and green for that reason maybe?

Hi @Gypsy7,

My favourite colour is blue. I super love being near water - especially the ocean. Of course, that could be because I am a sea turtle.

Hi @Gypsy7, I think I am similar to the others, I love the colours of the ocean. From turquoise to green, to brilliant blue. I find different blue green shades both energising and calming.

This is a lovely thread to have stumbled across @Gypsy7 🙂

I am colour sensitive too, and often looking for the 'right' coloured something for the moment (it takes me forever just to settle on a notebook/notepad when there are colour options!). Deep purple tends to be my calming colour so my bed sheets and pillows are a beautiful purple. My favourite doona cover has the same purple in the pattern. Bright lime green is my lift-me-up colour and I have bits and pieces of things in lime green (vases/jars/containers etc) throughout the house.

Hi @Gypsy7

I love colour.  My favourite colour is orange, lime green and yellow. I always feel safe with blue (light bue from the bay) always feeling calm and peace when around the bay 🙂
