Default Do colours effect you mood?

I never can have blue around me any more. It has been a few years now.
I had my room all done in blue, the curtains, the spreads, the sheets, everything. It was at the height of summer. For about a month the temperature here hits 110F/44C.
I thought it would be pretty and cool.
But it coincided with one of my most severe depressions.
Then from within myself I felt the need to surround myself with warm colours.
Since then my room has been all the sunshine colours, - reds, yellows, oranges, and chartreuse. Even a hint of blueish green bothers me; as does purples, mauves and lavenders.
At present my favourite is yellow.

It is all very strange 'though, because I have Lupus, I have to avoid the sun. I love sunlight, not the high Indian Summer sun, but the sunlight of 25C/78F. I have to avoid that too, but I cheat and find some shade, with approximately an entire bottle of SPF 50+ lotion slathered all over. That also, more often than not, triggers a flare, but sometimes I still dare to suffer.
But after the one I am going through now, I think in the future I'll have to pass.

I do love the blues and greens of nature, and I love the rain or snow.

Do any of you find colours effecting your mood or health?

I hope you enjoy reading it when you can.
