We have all heard about the philosophy behind colors and their impact on our image and the opinion and treatment of others. In fact, according to the Color Meanings site, in sports, there is also a psychology behind the use of colors, and of course, paddle tennis could not be the exception. Today, it is possible to make the most of this knowledge and use it as an advantage and compliment on and off the court.
Powerful energy
Red and its shades are a popular choice in sports, as it represents energy and vitality. According to the book Power of Color by Robert Gerard, red and other warm tones like orange and yellow spark energy and enthusiasm. Also, in the case of sports, red increases performance.
Laid Back Vibe
Almost everyone knows about the relaxing vibe that blue transmits. For teams or individuals, blue inspires honesty, calm, and sincerity. The color blue can have a soothing effect on yourself and your opponent. Although, it is fundamental to know that this color also reduces the chances of success in combat sports.
Stunning Hue
In 1998 a study was carried out to prove that the teams and players who wear black are more intimidating than others in different colors. However, this also means that they are generally penalized more than others, at least in extreme contact sports like hockey or the NFL. Seeing the color black, people expect violence. Unfortunately, there are many stereotypes associated with this color.
Raise the energy
Yellow is the radiant and energetic hue of the sun. It is impossible not to rejoice and feel tranquility and energy when facing this color. This principle also applies to sports. Yellow is one of the best colors in sports, as energy overflows at the thought of light. Not surprisingly, yellow is present in the official uniforms of many teams. Yellow would never make you think of apathy or sadness.
Life and environment
Green is commonly related to wealth and health, as well as to life and the environment. In sports, this color represents the will to win and stay cheerful. Green also represents renewal and regeneration.
Magic and Mystery
Purple and its shades come from a mixture of red and blue. Studies claim that this color can help stamina and inner strength. It is a color that drives away negativity and stimulates growth, and it is the color of those who still believe in magic. It is not recommended much in team sports because it conveys sensitivity and an unreal vision of your goals and desires.
