1. What is your favourite colour? Is it blue? Marketing companies and researchers have done many surveys around the world to find out what people’s favourite colours are. Blue is by far the most popular colour. We humans favour a colour that gives out good vibes. Hence, the colour BLUE. Blue, the colour of the ocean or the sky, is often associated with feelings of serenity. It has calming effect on everyone around and most of the time we prefer to be calm rather than be stimulated or depressed by other colours. Deviations from blue probably arise due to other interests. Purple, red and green are the next most popular colours and white, yellow and orange are the least favourite colours.

Green eyes – world’s most attractive eye colour! Brown, Blue, Hazel, Grey, Green - these are just a few of the eye colour shades which we humans or animals possess. Out of all the above, Green is among the rarest eye colours in the world. It has been estimated that only 2% of the world’s population have true green eyes. These are considered to be catchy and are the most attractive eye colour in the world (followed by Light Blue & Hazel). Some of the world’s most popular celebrities possess with this beautiful colour. For instance, Channing Tatum, Lindsay Lohan, Adele, Emma Stone, Angelina Jolie and several others.

Horses are dichromatic eyes. Most humans are trichromats, having perception of the three primary colours. Horses have the largest eyes of any land mammal, have excellent day and night vision, but they have dichromatic (two-colour) vision. Horses along with pigs, goats, cows, sheep and deer - have only two different cone types on their retina, providing them with what scientists call dichromatic vision. Their colour vision is somewhat similar to red-green colour blindness in humans, where certain colours, especially red and related colours, appear as shades of green. If we are trichromats, horses are dichromats; but birds go even above, having four cone types (tetrachromacy), as well as ultra violet (UV) sensitivity.

Think outside the box when it comes to accent walls!
It is not a simple wall paint. Think about ways to spruce up your wall. Metallics are powerful style statements for an accent wall. There is more to accent walls than just paint. Have you considered stone or tile for your accent wall? Extensive shelving can also work as an accent wall in a room that lacks an architectural feature and lacks storage. Your accent wall can also include a gallery of photos or artwork or even a fabric-draped wall. Another chic decorating trend is to add colour to the ceiling, which can be created with soft colours or even vivid colours.

Neutrals? Always a yes!
Do you think neutral colours are boring? Well let's say that bold is better. There is always room for pops of colour in your life, but there are a lot of good reasons to stick with a neutral colour scheme. The best feature of neutral colours are that you will never grow tired of them. Classics will always be a classic. If you decide to throw in some vibrant hues in your life, then you simply add a few bold coloured pillows, or add in coloured frames to your wall, or buy a beautiful bouquet of bright flowers. A dark wall adds presence and maturity to an otherwise light room.
