Violet
Violet promotes enlightenment, revelation, and spiritual awakening. Holistic healthcare providers use violet to soothe organs, relax muscles, and calm the nervous system.

Indigo
Indigo is also sedative and calming. It is said to promote intuition. Indigo may be useful in controlling bleeding and abscesses.

Blue
Blue promotes communication and knowledge. It eliminates toxins, and is used to treat liver disorders and jaundice.

Green
Because it is located in the middle of the colour spectrum, green is associated with balance. Green is calming, and is used by Ayurvedic practitioners to promote healing of ulcers. It is said to have antiseptic, germicide, and antibacterial properties and is sometimes used by holistic colour therapists to treat bacterial infections.

Yellow
Yellow is a sensory stimulant associated with wisdom and clarity. Yellow is thought to have decongestant and antibacterial properties, and is useful in stimulating both the digestive system and the lymphatic system.

Orange
Orange promotes pleasure, enthusiasm, and sexual stimulation. Ayurvedic practitioners believe it has antibacterial properties and may be useful in easing digestive system discomforts (e.g., flatulence, cramps).

Red
Red promotes energy, empowerment, and stimulation. Physically, it is thought to improve circulation and stimulate red blood cell production.[/quote]

This reminds me of some test done a while back, by Wharfedale I think it was, involving people listening to different kinds of music on identical speakers with the cabinets painted different colours. They got results along the lines of heavy rock sounds best coming out of red speakers, etc.

My bedrooms orange. I can safely say the first part is true. But not the second - after a good curry my bedroom smells like the inside of a packet of dry roasted peanuts! Unless you class better out than in as easing discomfort...
