FAQ

What color is best for office productivity?

Blue is the best color for office productivity. It promotes focus, calm concentration, and clear communication. Light blues work for creative tasks, while deeper blues suit analytical work. Green is second best — it reduces eye strain and promotes balanced thinking.

What color attracts wealth in office Feng Shui?

Purple and deep gold attract wealth in office Feng Shui. Purple activates the Wealth corner (Southeast), while gold represents abundance. Red accents (not overwhelming) can boost income energy. Avoid using red as the dominant color — it creates anxiety over time.

Should office walls be light or dark?

Light colors are generally better for offices — they expand space, reflect light, and keep energy moving. Use dark colors as accents (one feature wall, furniture, accessories). Very dark offices stagnate energy and can cause depression and low motivation.

What colors should I avoid in my office?

Avoid: 1) Too much red (causes anxiety and conflict), 2) All-white (too sterile, lacks grounding), 3) Dark gray everywhere (drains motivation), 4) Neon colors (overstimulates and exhausts), 5) Brown as dominant (too heavy, slows thinking).
