Today, this quotation is often attributed to Carl Gustav Jung. In all likelihood, however, it belongs more to the realm of modern pop psychology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What is certain is that the Swiss psychiatrist and psychologist devoted considerable attention to the collective unconscious and the symbolism of dreams. The pioneer of depth psychology was convinced that the psyche should be understood through images and<\/p>\n\n\n\n
symbols. Accordingly, he believed that colours only acquire psychological meaning within an individual context. According to Jung, red does not mean love for everyone, nor does yellow mean optimism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Colour expert Karsten Homann takes a different view: in his opinion, the effect of colours is always the same and deeply rooted in our psyche through physical reactions \u2013 red, for example, is said to be stimulating for everyone, while brown has a grounding effect. The strength of that influence, however, varies from person to person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are those who get along well with red in every area of life, while others are negatively stimulated by the colour. Calm people who are more of a sky-blue type cannot relate to shades of red and would sleep less well in red bed linen because of its stimulating effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Colours also have a meaning that is linked not only to our individual subconscious, but also to our cultural and social environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Blank Slate: White \ufeff White is considered neutral; the colour stands for new beginnings, justice and impartiality. It is also associated with purity, innocence, wholeness and perfection, which is why modern wedding dresses are traditionally white. In some cultures, the colour even expresses the heavenly and divine. Not everyone can identify with white, however, as it can also appear cold and unapproachable to some people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
People who surround themselves with white are considered highly conscientious, orderly, but also rather introverted and reserved. If you choose white for your bedroom and bed linen, colour psychologists would assume that you possess or value these character traits in your private surroundings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If white means purity, order and lightness to you, AVENUE is\u00a0the<\/a>\u00a0perfect bed linen for a bedroom with a clear, refined character.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n The bedroom is the first room we see in the morning when we open our eyes. It is hardly surprising, then, that the colours here have a major impact on our well-being. To start the day with positive associations, light shades of blue or green are ideal for many people when it comes to bed linen, as they evoke nature. This is also why beach colours work so well in the bedroom: turquoise combined with cream consciously \u2014 and subconsciously \u2014 recalls a holiday by the sea. A dark floor is always a good choice, as it conveys a sense of stability and grounding as soon as you get up. Calm personalities who value harmony can often be recognised by bedrooms with this natural look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n From a purely colour-psychological perspective, black bed linen or black walls in the bedroom are not an especially good choice. Who wants to retreat into a dark, black cave? If you love your bedroom to be this dark, however, it may also be a sign that you are seeking withdrawal and protection, and do not wish to be seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It seems to be a social phenomenon that we are becoming increasingly timid in our use of colour. A glance at an average car park confirms the theory: colourful cars are hardly to be seen these days. White, black and grey dominate. In the 1970s, things looked very different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Today, most people are afraid of colour experiments in public \u2013 hence the many white cars and the beige interiors that are no longer as \u201cin\u201d as they were a few years ago and are now often exposed as \u201csad beige\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Having the courage to use colour suggests a stable personality. Colour choice can, however, be highly context-dependent. Some people dress only in neutral colours at work, while their party outfits are wildly colourful: a clear sign that introverted character traits are in command in a professional environment, while going out allows genuine joy to take centre stage. Anyone who brings cheerful colours into the bedroom and chooses bed linen in vibrant shades is underlining their willingness to have fun within their own four walls \u2013 and especially in the most intimate part of the home, the bedroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Those who wear bright colours or drive a vivid yellow car also draw attention to themselves and place themselves centre stage. For those who do not wish to express their extroverted personality quite so openly, colourful bed linen is a good alternative: it allows them to express their love of colour, and with it the playful side of their character, in a place where no one can see it \u2013 or at least only their closest confidants. Bed linen in vitamin-bright colours can easily be changed at any time and is not as major a decision as painting a wall or even buying a car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A good compromise for bringing more colour into life is to choose muted tones. We tire more quickly of radiant colours, while subdued nuances appear more neutral, are easier to combine and look more elegant. Yet they still carry the essence of their colour category. Those who have the courage to embrace colour and love strong radiance at home reveal themselves to be cheerful and in good spirits \u2013 even if, when it comes to clothing, they prefer a wallflower look in grey so as not to attract attention in everyday life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Kissen](\"https:\/\/christianfischbacher-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/cf4-avenue330655.webp\")
