It’s time to select a color palette for your office design.  Do you: A) Choose colors that match your logo – Pantone colors in hand, let’s go! B) Reference Benjamin Moore’s color of the year and coordinate everything around Cinnamon Slate – sounds cozy and yummy, what could be better? C) Refer to color psychology to influence your finish material selections – color speaks louder than words. If you picked C, you’re on the right track! Why? When we enter a space, our brains process color first—up to 90% of our first impressions are color-based! Choosing the right color palette isn’t just a design decision; it’s a strategic one. It impacts mood, productivity, and even the overall vibe of your workspace So how do you choose the perfect palette? It starts with understanding this – every color has its own wavelength and vibration. These unique qualities send real electrical impulses to the brain, influencing how we feel and think. In essence, colors communicate on a deeper level. Here‘s how to harness the power of color to create an inviting and productive work environment. Neutrals: Everyone loves a good neutral. Their subtlety promotes focus and concentration while providing a solid base for accent colors. Key tip – warm neutrals are gaining momentum over the ever-popular greys because of their biophilic essence. Blues: Known for their calming, tranquil effect. Like the sky or the ocean, shades of blue are perfect for spaces that require deep thought and focus. Greens: Instantly connected with nature, green tones bring a sense of renewal and balance. A perfect choice for any space in need of revitalizing energy. Reds: Energizing and stimulating, red is great for areas requiring high-energy tasks or error-free assignments. But use it sparingly—a little goes a long way, as too much can create tension. Oranges and yellow: Reminiscent of sunny days, these colors are linked to creativity and enthusiasm, making them a perfect choice for brainstorming areas and social spaces.  There you have it - Color Psychology 101. Now you’ll appreciate your logo color where it belongs – in your logo 😉 Resources: https://lnkd.in/ecAz_JV5
