In Ancient Greece, colour was commonly used to influence people state of mind and emotions.
Latest research shows how colour has an impact on our lives. Not only in our consciousness, soul and spirit, but it can also change the way we work and our productivity. As Angela Wright, an expert on colour, asserts: “When the study of colour harmony is combined with the science of psychology, reactions can be predicted with startling accuracy”
Colours are much more important than we ever thought they were. They affect our state of mind and have a high impact in our sense of well-being.
In addition, the colours work as a self-expression way that reflect our personality. However, they do not have the same meaning in every culture, as for example black is the mourning colour in western countries, while oriental culture uses white in this case.
Nowadays, people rely on colour influence at workspaces. A correct choice will help on achieving the best work environment.
Red and Orange: They represent courage and strength.
White and grey: These colours represent neutrality, confidence and quietness.
Green: Represents relax. Moreover, in light tones, reduces eyestrain.
Yellow: It transmits joy and sympathy and promotes creativity, although it needs to be used carefully as some tones can cause anxiety.
Turquoise and lavender: Promote mental concentration, so they help to generate new ideas.
Blue: Improves the self-examination.
Purple: Represents calm. Advisable for walls and floors.
New technologies can help us to follow this theory without a refurbishment. RGB LED bulbs can provide a full spectrum of colour options as they are capable of producing a wide range of colours.
These smart lights are compatible with different apps on your smartphone or laptop, so they can be turned on or off regardless of whether you are at the office or not. With these lights, light and colour shows can be created. They also allow to create morning or evening environments and perfect atmospheres for every moment of the day.
García Requejo has joined this technology, introducing RGB LED stripes on its new office. Light colours change along the day, using strong colours at the beginning, and soft tones at the end.
However, this is not the first time the company faces the challenge of working with RGB LED stripes. They are usually used in hotel rooms, restaurants, or any other space in need of a special touch of light.
A small alteration that can change the productivity and create a perfect environment to keep the ideas flowing.
