Red: Bright reds increase desire, excitability and passion. Red can be used as an accent color to brighten up a room but is not recommended as a primary decor color. Especially for a child how may already struggle with having quiet times.
Purple: When darker shades of purple are used, they typically represent royalty, power, and luxury. However, these deep tones can also evoke feelings of sadness and frustration. Lighter shades create a more peaceful and nostalgic feeling and are often used in a girls bedroom.
Earth Tones: Greys, browns and beige are an excellent choice for hyperactive children. These colors represent warmth, comfort, and relaxation. The muted ground colors are best and would look great with a camouflage boys bedding set.
