Does color play a role in our physical well being? I know for me color can certainly effect my mood from calm to happy etc. I even have a list of colors I call happy colors. Here are some definitions of color that can perhaps have healing powers. You may also gain some insight into why you are attracted to certain colors.
Color usually has to be applied in large areas in order to affect someone. Still, there are some generalities which you may wish to keep in mind.BLACK is supposed to ward off evil, I don't think it would be a good color for a depressed person.

Add red when energy and self-esteem is needed.ORANGE has many of the attributes of red, like warmth and vitality, but is less aggressive in nature.
