Colour impacts your dopamine levels
Did you know that the colours you see can actually influence your mood? It’s all thanks to a little neurotransmitter called dopamine, and our colourful eyewear is here to help you harness its power!
What is dopamine?
Dopamine is a neurotransmitter known as the “feel-good” chemical. It plays a crucial role in our brain’s reward system, influencing mood, motivation, and pleasure.
Colours can stimulate various psychological responses in our brains. There is a direct relationship between colour and dopamine.
Exposure to certain colours (especially those we find personally appealing) may trigger a small dopamine release. Individual experiences and cultural backgrounds influence our colour preferences, impacting how colours impact our dopamine levels.
The dopamine colour connection:
Red: Slip on our candy cane LEXI frame (below)… You’re basically wearing instant confidence. Red is attention grabbing and is associated with energy, passion, and excitement. It’s like a shot of espresso for your eyes!
Orange: The extravert of the colour wheel = orange. It’s an energetic colour, as it’s a combination of yellow and red. Orange enthusiastically personifies “let’s grab a coffee and chat for hours” type of energy. This is the Pascali SARAH.
Yellow: Our sunny yellow frames are here to help. Yellow is connected to optimism and cheerfulness. It’s like wearing a slice of sunshine on your face!
Green: Green isn’t just a colour; it’s nature’s own chill pill. It’s connected to relaxation and balance. The colour often associated with natural environments. This is our Pascali CHARLIE model, one of our newest additions.
Blue: Our cool blue SARAH frames might be just what the doctor ordered. Blue is linked to calmness and serenity, promoting a calming effect. It’s like a mini-meditation session.
Purple: It’s the perfect blend of calming blue and energetic red, giving you the best of both worlds. Purple represents royalty, mystery, and magic. For a regal aesthetic, pop on some purple frames.
