亮色使人开心 红配绿也可以很美

Don't be scared to clash — scientists have found brighter clothes make you happier!

Many of us spend our lives in black, brown, navy, white and grey, but by choosing safe shades instead of a brighter wardrobe, we could be missing out on the health benefits implicit in color.

生活中的很多人喜欢穿着黑色,棕色,深蓝色,白色和灰色的衣服,如果我们总选择低沉颜色而不尝试更亮丽的服装,可能会错失亮色可能带来的一些健康有利因素.

Jules Standish, author of How Not To Wear Black, is a style and color consultant for women afraid of standing out, and she believes that changing your shopping habits can boost your well-being and self-esteem. 'Research shows that colors can have a psychological effect,' she says. 'When we look at certain colors it triggers neurological responses in the brain, and causes the hypothalamus gland to release hormones.

尤勒斯·斯坦迪什(Jules Standish)是《如何避免低沉着装》(How Not To Wear Black)一书的作者,同时为羞于表现自己的女性做服装品位和衣色顾问.她相信改变购物习惯就能增加自己的幸福感并增强自尊心."研究发现颜色有心理作用,"她说,"我们对某一种颜色的注视会触发神经系统对大脑作出反馈,促使下丘脑腺释放激素.

'Looking at warm, bright colors, such as red or pink, releases dopamine — known as the "feel-good hormone" — which can improve our mood, heighten the attention span and even boost our sex drive.

"看到暖色和明亮的颜色,如红色或粉红色,人体会释放多巴胺——人们所熟知的'令人感觉良好的激素'——该激素可以提升心情,延长注意力时间,甚至有助于提高性欲.

'Cool blues, on the other hand, have been linked to the release of oxytocin, making you feel of calm.' Here, Jules gives her verdict on the clashing colors that couldn't be more suited.

"相较于此,冷色系的蓝色则与释放后叶催产素有关,这种激素会让你有沉静感."接下来,尤勒斯将提供一些对衣着颜色的独到见解:人们觉得突兀但却是再适合不过的颜色搭配.

'Red and green should never be seen' couldn't be more wrong. In small doses, they work superbly well together.

"红与绿搭配不能见人"的想法是大错特错的,这两种颜色适当搭配会有意想不到的效果.

Our brains associate colors with temperature, so scarlet is at the hottest end of the color spectrum. Scarlet and burgundy are both universally flattering and suit almost every skin tone and hair color.
