Chromatherapy, also known as color therapy, is a natural approach that uses colors to promote physical, emotional and mental well-being. Most people have an innate understanding of how people are affected by exterior stimuli; Sounds, smells, temperature…lighting – each affects people differently. As perception might tell you, warm colors are associated with energy; these colors are cheerful and uplifting, as well as bright and passionate. Cool colors, on the other hand, evoke feelings of serenity. Rather than provoking strong emotion, as warm colors do, cool colors tend to soothe stresses away, bringing with them a feeling of calm.
One of the most common places to utilize Chromatherapy is in a sauna or shower. Rainheads, like ThermaSol’s HydroVive or Serenity, allow you to experience the benefits of Chromatherapy through light, sound and water. HydroVive fuses full-spectrum LED lighting along with its enhanced audio to give users a multi-sensory experience precisely tailored to each user. Serenity offers a soothing spectrum of color and a high-performance sound system.
Whether you’ve already delved into the world of Chromatherapy, or you’re interested in trying it for the first time, we’ve put together a comprehensive guide to the luminous colors found in this modern therapy.

It excites us; it invigorates us. Often closely intertwined with passion, red is known for its link to vitality and life.
