Do you own a store, a retail shop or a food and service business? Do you operate a big firm? Are you involved in real estate? If you need to do a color switch to make your business more attractive and boost production, here are some of our color suggestions

Red

Red incites passion, excitement and a sense of urgency. This color increases the heart rate and arouses the appetite. Most restaurants and fast food chains often use this color. A lot of outlet malls and clearance stores use red to pull in customers to buy their sale items. As for its use in the workspace, red is the best color in areas that require physical exertion.

Blue

Blue is considered an intellectual color. It evokes a sense of trust, logic, communication, security, and efficiency. This is best used in office departments that require intense focus and mental concentration. A lot of banks and department stores use several shades of this color. Blue also promotes relaxation and tranquility (as it reminds you of a blue sky or a deep blue sea) that’s why it’s often the color of choice of a lot of spas and wellness centers.

Green

Green is a combination of both warm and cool colors. It represents nature, balance, harmony, and restoration.  Since green is considered the easiest color on the eyes, it is often used in a lot of office departments which require employees to work long hours or in varying shifts. This color is also associated with money, wealth, good fortune and good business deals, that’s why a lot of shops use varying shades of green.

Yellow

Yellow represents optimism, energy, confidence, and creativity. Using the right shades of yellow will encourage happiness, good mood, and positivity among your colleagues. Restaurants and fast food chains often use yellow to arouse appetite. A lot of shops and retail stores use yellow to grab attention from shoppers.

Orange

Although some people consider orange as an aggressive color, shop owners use that very aggressiveness of orange to call potential customers to action. Orange is an eye-popping color that is vibrant and energetic, but that should be best used as an accent wall color for the office.

Finishes

The word “finish” refers to the paint’s glossiness and durability. The glossier a paint finish has, the more durable it is.

Flat or matte

flat paints have zero gloss. This is great for covering flaws, but its biggest fault is that it is the most difficult to clean. This finish is ideal for painting board rooms or an executive’s office.

Eggshell

This type of finish gives off a hint of gloss and just a minimal amount of reflection. Compared to flat paint, eggshell is more durable, but it is not as durable as semi-gloss and glossy paints. While it’s not a good choice for covering surface flaws, an eggshell paint is otherwise easy to clean. You can use eggshell in areas that receive a fair amount of traffic such as waiting rooms and lobbies.

Satin

Satin has a significant gloss and offers a fair amount of reflection. Like many glossy paints, satin is poor in hiding surface flaws but is excellent for cleaning and brushing. Satin can be used in areas with higher traffic like restaurants, kitchens, public restrooms, and lobbies.

Semi-gloss

Semi-gloss paints emit a higher amount of gloss and stronger reflective qualities compared to eggshell and satin. They are often used for parts and accessories like doors, trims, columns, banisters, staircases and built-in cabinets. They can also be used on accent walls for a dramatic effect, or areas that experience high traffic like kitchens, bathrooms, washrooms, public restrooms, etc.

Glossy 

Glossy paints have the highest amount of sheen and reflection and are also the most durable. Their shiny finish resembles that of enamel or glossy plastic. It is normally used for parts and accents such as front doors, garage doors, trims, sidings, and some built-in furniture. While glossy paints are not a popular option for covering walls, they can be used for high-traffic areas that experience moisture, humidity, dirt, soot, grease, and impact such as kitchens and bathrooms. When used properly for bigger walls, glossy paints can add a hint of elegance and drama to your business space.
