Temperature perceptions
The color of the interior walls has an influence on perception. An employee or customer perceives the room temperature by the color. Warm colors encourage people to perceive the room temperature as warmer. Warm colors are orange, red, and yellow. Cool colors, encourage people to estimate cooler temperatures. Cool colors are blue, green, and light purple. Arizona business owners can use this perception to their advantage. By painting in cooler colors will save on their cooling costs.
Emotional responses
People experience similar emotional reactions when viewing colors. Yet, people of different cultures exhibit different emotions when viewing certain colors. While there may be some exceptions, certain colors tend to evoke specific emotions. Additionally, behavioral reactions among people are important. For example, research indicates that green sparks broader thinking and improved creativity. Red, evokes faster and more forceful reactions by lowering analytical thinking.
Productivity influences
While different paint colors can elicit emotional responses, plain white walls can also invoke feelings of boredom. Painting office walls in pure white can cause employees to spend more time reflecting on their own thoughts instead of concentrating on the day’s work. Similarly, someone shopping in a monochromatic store may become distracted from their spending while their mind wanders due to a lack of stimulation. For this reason, employers and businesses should think carefully when deciding to incorporate white in their interior paint designs.
