In our continuing scientific research, we have found choosing energy efficient colours to assist with global warming is easy when you know how.  Nature's electromagnetic energy assists in saving energy by using colours that reflect light into our environment.  Also by tactile or visual response can increase or decrease our temperatures where needed to make a simple yet profound difference in our heating and cooling solutions.  Greens are supportive to the nervous system therefore vital to our globally stressed society.

The energy efficiency of using colour that we wear to energise our bodies like red tones of underwear and clothing to stimulate the body and actually bring up the warmth in our bodies therefore reducing heating requirements.  Blues can bring down the heart beat and cool off our bodies therefore less need for airconditioners, etc.

Exterior:  Darker colours absorb more heat, example roofs, walls, windows.  Lighter colours reflect light, so therefore they don't hold the heat as much.  Example, lighter colours are preferrable for soffits and eaves to reflect more light through the window for added interior light.  Fenceline walls in lighter colours are also good reflectors for interior lighting.

Interior:  Yellow tones give you more light reflection than any other colour.  It lifts your light level and decreases the need for artificial lighting.  Blue tones absorb glare and cool the body by relaxing the heartbeat.  Greens relax the nervous system at the same time as cooling the body generally reducing need for electricity, etc.  Reds and oranges are colours that will stimulate the heartbeat and help support the body with its own warm vibrational energy reducing the need for heating, therefore reducing greenhouse gases.
