Choosing the right colour for your office depends on the kind of business you run, the people you work with and the clients you expect to come visiting. Here’s a guide to choosing the right colours to create the right mood for different spaces in your office. 

Blue
The colour of the sea and the sky is known to have a calming effect on people. It is also known to create an environment of confidence, security and high mental concentration. This could be a great colour to use in spaces that require a lot of mind work and high levels of stress, say, bankers, accountants, lawyers and financial advisers.

Yellow
This is one of the most difficult colours to work with because you have to make sure you use just the right amount in your office. It is considered an optimistic colour that uplift spirits, and therefore a great choice to use in spaces where you want to stimulate creativity among your employees. But too much of yellow can cause eye fatigue and some research studies have also shown people lose their temper more often in yellow rooms. 

Green
Green is considered to be the colour of balance. It is also known to bring freshness and can be used to open up a space to make smaller offices seem bigger. But, it works best when paired with a more stimulating colour because on its own, it can sometimes appear stagnant. That’s definitely not a good thing if you don’t want your employees to have a slumber party at work.  

Red
Red is known to induce enthusiasm, energy and action. It also has the potential to make a room look smaller. So it is best to avoid this shade for already small offices. Red is the best colour to be used in spaces where you want employees to do physical work. It is also a good colour to use in the pantry or dining areas of the office as it stimulates hunger.
