1. THE POWER OF COLORS ON
WORKPLACE HARMONY
Colors, like features, follow the
changes of the emotions.
- Pablo Picasso -
Color is a visual experience. Gender, age, culture and other
biological factors affect how color influences individuals’ moods,
behaviors and feelings. Color allows designers to summon
specific sentiments that leave an emotional impact
on each individual.
RED
Fire, passion, power, love, energy,
anger, blood. The most physical
color in the spectrum. Associated
with the heart and blood, the color
red has been proven to raise the
heart rate and energy level. In
interiors, red is used to make a bold
statement. It is often used in
restaurants and in food logos since
seeing red is known to increase
the appetite!
ORANGE
Excitement, tropics, vibrant,
caution & safety, fun. Orange is
known to encourage activity and
stimulate conversation as well as
enhance a feeling of vitality and
happiness. Like red, it draws
attention but is not overpowering.
Often associated with “rebirth,”
orange gained popularity in
Renaissance paintings.
YELLOW
Happiness, light, sun, playfulness.
Beyond being directly related to
the sun, yellow is the easiest of
colors for the human eye, although
too much can be overwhelming.
Different messages can be
conveyed through various shades
of yellow – light yellow
communicates warmth and
softness, while bright yellow raises
emotional temperatures and
increases liveliness
and innovation.
GREEN
Nature, money, growth, prosperity,
environment, luck. The color of
nature, green is the most seen color
in the world and can provoke a
multitude of moods, from
environmental awareness to fertility
to growth. In interiors, green is
meant to soothe and encourage
mental relaxation.
BLUE
Water, calmness, soothing,
tranquility, cold, relaxing. Seeing
blue causes the body to naturally
calm itself. Overall, it is the world’s
preferred color and is associated
with many religious practices. Blue is
a symbol of rest and is often found
in healthcare design
and in bedrooms.
PURPLE
Flowers, horticulture, power,
luxury, royalty, deception, pride. A
combination of blue and red,
purple’s emotional impact is a
balance between the two. It is
often used to calm, hence purple’s
wide usage in beauty products.
Incorporating purple can convey
luxury, wealth and, in lighter
hues, romance.
