Can you change a person's personality by changing the colors of his home?

We're planning on repainting and the discussion turned to psychology of color. I'm more a friendly earthy type, he's more a professorial, regal type. I go for fresh colors, he goes for neutral and purples. I want to know if by painting the house in fresh friendly colors would help him relax more or should I paint his colors and see what happens.

When we wanted to make a dramatic change, we decided to paint one wall first and just live with it for a few days to see how we responded to it before doing the whole room.



Also consider seeking the advice of an interior decorator, they can find a way to bridge both your tastes.

Maybe check out some Feng Shui sources for information on effects of colours and combinations.
Why this sounds like a phd thesis!! You could run a trial to see if certain wall colours can change certain temperament . I suspect you'll find that they don't.
hmm...
