Happy Colours, Happy Employees

Ensuring employees are happy and content in the work environment is a big part of office life today.

As we live in a world with more choice and opportunity than ever before in our history, so too do our employees. The provision of a great space evokes productivity and increases contentment. Consider a change in colour when investigating a full office refurbishment.

What colours, though, work best?

Green
If you are a company in either the medical or finance industry, consider natural greens. Such shades represent a sense of balance and equilibrium with many gaining a sense of optimism. Green is associated with life, growth, harmony and freshness. Not only is this colour a fantastic choice for the finance industry, it’s also ideal for organic and eco friendly companies.
Make people feel at home with a colour that matches their profession.

Blue
Blue is the colour of professionalism. Associated with freedom and open spaces, consider this colour if you’re working in the mortgage or marketing industry. Depicting loyalty, blue strongly states you’re available and ready to build a long term business relationship. From the lightest sky blues to deep, rich and meaningful, results are calm and serene.

Red
Red is a colour of extremes so make sure to use wisely. Depicting love and passion, it’s a colour adopted by many in the fitness industry. Associated with hard work, strength, leadership and courage, your company will certainly make a bold statement. Construction companies often use red as it provokes instant feeling of trust amongst their customers.

Orange
Orange is one of the most fiery and evocative colours to use. We recommend anyone who is in the industries like creative thinking or even culinary preparation investigate this possibility. Orange is a very warm and optimistic colour, naturally and effortlessly making people feel positive and optimistic. This colour represents determination, balance and freedom of expression.

Purple
Seen as a colour associated with luxuriousness, purple works well in most retail environments. It also works well in the beauty industry, with many hair salons and beauty groups opting for this. However, purple also works well in industries such as real estate and financial care. Basically, it showcases a sense of professionalism and decadence.

So, which colour do you think would do the best job of representing what your company stands for in the modern world?
