How to Celebrate Color Therapy Month
Color Therapy Month is a time to play with the vibrant world of hues. With so many ways to get creative, anyone can find a fun and meaningful way to celebrate. Here are some suggestions to brighten your life with the power of color.
Brighten Your Home
Add a splash of color to your living space. A fresh coat of paint, colorful cushions, or bright artwork can transform any room. Whether you go for calming blues or energizing reds, it’s a chance to create a space that boosts your mood.
Dress in Color
Choose clothing that reflects or boosts your mood. Wear bold, warm colors like red or orange to spark energy, or stick with soft blues and greens for a calming effect. Let your wardrobe choices influence how you feel throughout the day.
Eat the Rainbow
Add fruits and veggies in every shade to create colorful meals. Think vibrant salads, rainbow stir-fries, or smoothies packed with different hues. Not only will these meals look fantastic, but the variety of nutrients will also support your overall health.
Nature’s Palette
Take a walk outside and notice the colors around you. Whether it’s the greens of the trees, the blue sky, or the pinks of a sunset, nature’s colors have a calming effect. Use this time to relax and recharge, letting the natural beauty uplift your spirits.
Color Your Workspace
Transform your desk or workspace with intentional color choices. Add yellow for mental clarity, green for balance or purple to spark creativity.
Even small changes like colored pens or a vibrant desk lamp can make a big difference in your productivity and focus.

History of Color Therapy Month
Color Therapy Month was founded in 2011 by Eleyne-Mari Sharp, a passionate advocate for the healing power of colors. She launched this observance to raise awareness of how colors can improve mental and physical well-being.
Eleyne-Mari, who also founded the Aura House School of Color and Light, believed that color therapy could help people discover inner balance and joy by using colors in everyday life.
Her mission was simple: to share the benefits of color therapy with a wider audience and encourage people to explore how different colors can influence their moods and health.
Since its beginnings, Color Therapy Month has grown in popularity, becoming a time for individuals to experiment with using colors to improve their surroundings, wardrobe, and even their diets.
Each March, this vibrant celebration invites people to learn about the emotional and physical impacts of color therapy, bringing creativity and wellness together.
This annual event continues to inspire many to introduce colorful changes into their homes, workspaces, and routines, promoting a happier, healthier lifestyle. It serves as a reminder of the therapeutic power of even the smallest shifts in color choice​.
