0 Comments

I am back with the impacts of colors on moods and personality. I hope you enjoyed reading the part I of this article where I had explained the effects of the colors red, blue, green, black, yellow and pink. So, what color are you wearing today? One of these, or some other color!

Well! before moving on to the analysis of other colors for your clothes, I'll just share some more information about how colors are applied to the fabrics. Of course, you know that textile or a garment is dyed for imparting colors to them, but do you know what are the exact textile chemicals used for the purpose? You will be amazed to know the wide variety of dyes, pigments and chemicals used for dyeing our clothes. The sad aspect of this is their polluting effect on the surrounding environment. But, textile industry has found out solutions for this also by finding out herbal dyes. In fact, if you are one of those who are conscious about the environment, you can yourself grow herbs for home dyeing some of your fabrics, just for experiment and adventure too- adventure of finding your favorite color naturally!
