The natural light between 400 nm to 700 nm (app.)

can be seen as visible colours by human eye. That
means every house is blessed with innumerable
colours through natural sunlight falling on it. The
house which does not receive natural sunlight is
seen to have many health problems. Researches in
the field of colours have proved that all the colours
of spectrum-VIBGYOR due to varying wavelength
and properties have their own dominant elements
for example blue light is rich in oxygen, yellow with
carbon whereby red light with hydrogen. The sub
components on basis of Fraunhofer lines of each
colour have been studied in details. Every cell in
any living being is working in harmony with basic
elements and therefore colour of perfect
wavelength can help an individual mentally.

yellow radiant energy. This is because only the
yellow radiant energy gets reflected back to the
