It has been a part of the natural world since the beginning of time, yet we continue to be fascinated by the mysterious nature of this subject.

"Our personalities can be reflected in our colour choices. We use colour to convey emotion, visually communicate, symbolize ideas and represent our cultures," says Darrin Noble, director of marketing for CIL Paints. "We recommend that people consider the nuances of each colour family when decorating, especially children's rooms."
