In the process of enjoying color, the color information is transmitted from the brain to the hypothalamus, which controls the emotions, and can exude the sensibility. "Light affects not only the elements that make up the body, but also the elements that make up the mind," said physicist Felix Deutsch, author of color psychology research.
There are about 7.5 million colors that can be distinguished by human eyes, and there are 130 colors, not seven colors, but depending on the ability of the rainbow to be identified. If we utilize these numerous colors well, our lives will be enriched.
The principle of color therapy is to recover destroyed biorhythms by utilizing color characteristics. It may seem trivial, but because humans are inherently fond of color, it relieves the stress and scars of everyday life. We know the light and color so familiar to our lives. But few know that color can be applied to the health care of various pathogens, chronic pain and inflammation, infectious diseases, and that it is a tool for peace of mind in a noninvasive way.
As the quality of life increases, it is shifting from "disease center" to "health center." You can't jump to 'healthy' just because you don't have an apparent illness. Fire health, which is neither disease nor health, has begun to emerge as a subject of interest in new medical science in the new era.
Some people may wonder if color is true about treating disease. But if you think about it a little bit, you can remember the experience of mood swings caused by color. For example, looking at a red cloth makes you excited.
This is because the colored wavelengths from the red cloth secrete adrenaline through the visual center, and adrenaline stimulates the sympathetic nerve, causing excitement.
Because color therapy is based on both visual media and psychology of art, there are many elements of ancient and modern times that have increased interest and influenced the development of art therapy over the past 50 years. Thus modern art therapy has become itself a branch of learning, and is gradually a viable essential treatment for patients in need of treatment, and places great significance on mental thought therapy as a convergence in alternative medicine.
I n addition, color theory in Oriental medicine has been applied in terms of physiology, pathology and diagnosis, with the principle of Yin-Yang and Five Elements appearing in color and associated with the body, and the chart of Yin-Yang is mostly black and white, which means night and day.

In addition, color, taste and smell have been applied to the analysis of the nature of the drug, and in the observation of disease, color appearing on the surface of the human body has been used as an important basis for judgment.
Asians place more restrictions on color than Westerners. Asians use achromatic system more than too colorful. However, it is necessary to utilize various colors for mental, psychological and physical health.

The number of domestic dissertations on color therapy and academic journals is increasing in quantity. However, the use of color is considered an important factor in more effective treatment.
