Basically the colors can be produced either by letting the white-light pass through a medium like water or prism or by using other methods to produce colored lights such as using the bulbs or letting the light pass through colored window pans. But as far as obtaining the colorful material object is concerned we have to mix pigments or dyes whether these are achieved from the natural resources or prepared artificially using the synthetic chemicals.
All the colors whether these are the colors obtained from combining spectral lights or these are the paints to paint a work of art or the dyes to dye a piece of cloth. they emit vibrations of one or the other frequency. These vibrations cause the feeling of warmth or coolness. The wavelength of the red is the longest of all the spectral colors, which produces the vibration of the lowest order. The wavelength of the violet is the shortest and it causes a highest vibration. Frequency of red waves produces heat, the blue gives cool effect and the green is the color that is known for its moderation and balance. The density of the red confines the movement and the rate of its vibration whereas the blue, because of its lightness, brings openness in the atmosphere.
Colors have been broadly classified into three categories; hot, cool and moderate. Red, orange and yellow and all their shades are hot colors. The blue, sky blue and violet are cool colors, whereas the green is neither hot nor cool. If the disease is considered to be the result of excessive heat in the body system then the cool colors are applied, And, if the disease is due to lack of heat or is a result of coldness in the body system then the hot colors are used for the treatment. for example, low blood pressure and paralysis demand red.
