Want to reduce your stress levels? Paint something purple...

Do you have a purple place in your home? 

If so, you’re probably less stressed out than the rest of us. Researchers from the University of Glasgow have determined that deep purple may be the most calm-inducing color. They chalk up the deep purple power to its association with royalty, wealth and power. By surrounding ourselves in deep purple, we feel more self-assured and in control.

Before you run out and stock up on purple paint, keep in mind that any purple pick will do. Deep purple sheets, rugs or throw pillows can be just as effective.
