Use Different Colors in Different Parts of the Office
-
Your reception and waiting area should reflect a level of professionalism with warm colors of apricot or creamy yellow, and should be adorned with paintings to keep the visitor's eye busy. Paint the employee work area in colors that will achieve the highest level of productivity. Paint the area where payment is collected a calming blue color. If your office gets a lot of natural light, tone down the colors.
The Best Office Colors

Use relaxing colors if your work demands intense concentration. If the work being done is creative, use bold colors. Moss green is refreshing and restful; light orange is energizing; beige is simple and calm; gray feels soothing; pale blue allows a person to stay focused and productive; light brown creates a feeling of being grounded; magenta sparks creativity; and olive is studious and promotes concentration.
