Abstract

Although the effects of colors on the emotion have been studied, there have been differing results. Influences like age, culture, and personal stimulation are important factors in this phenomenon. Different chakra systems are well matched with different colors, and one of the chromotherapeutic methods is constructed to this chakra system as complementary and alternative medicine. However, as a consequence of the new findings and developments arising in color-related research, we propose new model supported with afterimage and complementarity for this chakra system.
