Try Using Some Color Psychology<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

The website Color Psychology (at https:\/\/www.colorpsychology.org\/<\/a>) gives you all the information you need about which colors create different feelings and motivations. Angela Wright is a world-renown color psychologist who has developed a scientifically-tested theory of color named the color affects system<\/a>. She has also written a popular book on color psychology<\/a>, and consulted for a wide range of companies like Shell, Motorola, Proctor and Gamble, British Telecom, The Body Shop, and Unilever. Angela has been studying how color affects a person\u2019s behavior for about 40 years, and it\u2019s safe to say that if there\u2019s anyone who knows color, it\u2019s her.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wright states that color absolutely can affect your productivity and enhance your moods. But this doesn\u2019t just work in your home. Adding the right color to an office wall could increase the productivity and morale of your office.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So which colors are good for your office?<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

An office full of people could make choosing the right color very difficult. Your staff should not be overstimulated or under-stimulated. Also, your walls need to be taken care of and maintained.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A 2012 study found that when offices were painted white, it was read by users as a \u2018clinical appearance.\u2019 Those people within this working environment felt unwelcome and intimidated. You\u2019ll want to choose a subtle office color, but avoid stark white.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the University of Rochester psychology department studied the effect of color on mood. The study found that red was good for offices because it increases concentration and speed. On the other hand, the color can also create worry and anxiety due to its urgency. Not necessarily the tone you want to set in an office.<\/span><\/p>\n

Information About Colors & Their Effect<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

Off-White<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

White is very sterile and clinical, but a soft off-white warms up the feeling of a room. It\u2019s a great neutral that will be easy to decorate and feels clean, without the coldness of stark white.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Teal<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Teal provides the benefits of blue and green paint. Since they both enhance collaboration and creativity, teal is a great option for offices. Choosing a lighter version of teal or light blue with a touch of grey will not overpower the room with the wall color. Pastels and less vibrant versions of these colors will give you the desired effect.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Grey<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Grey is a balance between black and white which creates a neutral mood. Neutral can come across as bland and even a little sad. Be careful with the undertones to bring the color a little cheerfulness so it doesn\u2019t negatively affect clients and employees.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Light Blue<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Soft blues evoke a peaceful and calming feeling in the room. It\u2019s good for rooms that are particularly stressful like doctor\u2019s offices and accountants.<\/span><\/p>\n

Blue-Grey<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

When it comes to corporate settings, blue-grey walls give off a clean vibe that can also boost performance. These colors read professionally without overpowering the room or feeling too moody.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Brown<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

When walls are brown, it gives off a vibe of power and strength. Match it with wooden office furniture and you\u2019ll have a warm and natural feeling office.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Light Yellow<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Creativity flourishes in yellow, but take heed, the color can quickly become too much and assault eyes. Keep to the lighter, softer versions of the color to increase productivity especially in the creative fields.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Green<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Choosing a deep and dark green provides an heir of trust and knowledge. Use a deep green to get these benefits. Keep in mind a lighter green, with light in the room could read neon and may be a turn off.<\/span><\/p>\n

Orange<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Orange can easily overtake a room, but it is great for energy. If you are painting a work out facility, this color could be just the ticket. For other uses, consider adding orange as an accent wall or part of a geometric pattern.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
