When you imagine a typical office, you will most likely
picture an office with white or neutral walls.
However some studies have shown that white or neutral walls create dreariness,
and a lack of energy or excitement for employees. Therefore research has been done to
investigate what colors are best for your office space, and what the
characteristics are of each.
BLUE
Blue is known as the
universal color for productivity, because of its stable and calm nature. Many find that their focus
increases in a blue room versus other colors, and in turn they find that their
day is much more productive. Blue inspires
the mind by promoting concentration.
RED
An influential color, red stimulates the pulse and can raise
blood pressure.
It has been said to be a very good color for detail oriented tasks, as well as
a good color for any job that involves any physical activity.
YELLOW
Well known as an
optimistic color, yellow creates energy and inspires the imagination. This color is best suited for designers or
employees who require creativity as a main part of their job. Use yellow sparingly, however, as too much
yellow can cause anxiety.
GREEN
Green is a very calming color that promotes
harmony and balance. A reason for this
is because green is a very prevalent color in our natural environment. This is a good color to use for those who
tend to work long hours, as it defuses stress.
