Hmmmm! Blue seems to be winning the game on the block. And we hear it’s the most stable colour amongst colours and celebrities are tapping into it.
In 1999, researchers at Creighton University found that colours significantly influence employees’ emotions and efficiency. Workers in blue offices felt the most centered, calm and hopeful towards their work. Since blue can lower heart rates and green reduces anxiety and is associated with money, a combination of blue and green is best for the productivity.
Now, what is your favorite colour, again?
