Black
Black adds a sense of sophistication and depth. It can be overwhelming if used extensively but can be very effective in highlighting other colors. In a work setting, black is often used to promote feelings of seriousness and professionalism.
Gray
Gray is a neutral color, often used in office environments to evoke professionalism and formality. However, too much gray can lead to feelings of sadness and a lack of energy. It’s best used as a balance to brighter colors.
Understanding the psychological impacts of color can greatly improve how environments are designed and how they influence those within them. Whether by painting office walls or choosing the color of lighting, thoughtful use of color can enhance mood and increase productivity in substantial ways.
