What color light is considered stimulating in color therapy?

In color therapy, red light is significant because it is considered the most stimulating of the colors. Red is associated with energy, vitality, and heightened emotion. It can increase heart rate and overall energy levels, making it a useful tool in therapeutic settings for promoting circulation, invigorating the body, and encouraging mental stimulation. This makes red light particularly valuable for those seeking to enhance their vitality or inspire active engagement and motivation.

While other colors have their own therapeutic properties—such as blue being calming, green representing balance and harmony, and yellow often associated with optimism and clarity—these do not carry the same stimulating energy as red. Therefore, red stands out as the color that can energize and rejuvenate during treatment or therapy sessions, which is why it is identified as the stimulating light in the context of color therapy.
