The selection of colours in the workplace has been linked with a range of behavioural outcomes from employees. The psychology of colour has been used to improve productivity, spark creativity, reduce boredom and increase focus. Low wavelength colours such as green and blue are favourable choices if you want happier, more effective workers. Green is restful for the eyes thus making it a good choice in offices where data entry and continuous monitor usage are of high demand. Calming blue will lower the heart rate making the workplace a less stressful environment.

High wavelength colours such as red evoke passion, a sense of urgency and intensity whilst mellow yellow provides optimistic outlooks and is often used in environments where designers, developers and creative professionals function effectively.
Orange is associated with enthusiastic employees and rapid decision making.
Neutral colours such as brown, white, cream, grey and black can help tone down or highlight the brighter colour depending how they are utilised. Brown walls can create a warm feeling but can also make a room seem dark.
Today the café culture environment has provided the designer with a wider scope to choose neutral and earthy colours such as greys, browns and blacks.
