Joy-forward colors create saturated comfort by using rich, highly pigmented hues that stimulate positive emotions without sacrificing coziness. Colors like coral and chartreuse brighten spaces while supporting a feeling of warmth and relaxation. The dopamine decor trend suggests applying these hues as dominant tones around sixty percent of a room's palette, balanced by softer secondary colors. This saturation energizes interiors and engages the brain's happy chemicals, making rooms feel alive yet comfortable, perfect for everyday emotional uplift and inviting atmospheres.
