Synopsis

If you've ever wondered if your office is casting a spell on you, this ebook will provide the answers. "Color Voodoo for the Office" provides guidelines for assessing your work environment and using color to enhance your sense of well being, maximize productivity, and minimize stress and fatigue.

Here's a sampling of what's included:

  • The Worst Colors for Offices
  • The Best Colors for Offices (peace and quiet, wakefulness, being organized, handling multiple tasks)
  • Tips for Spaciousness
  • Eight Facts about Optical Fatigue
  • Tips for Minimizing Optical Fatigue at Computer Work Stations
  • How to Select a Color from a Paint Chip
  • Lighting Tips


Here are some questions that "Color Voodoo for the Office" answers:

  • Does your favorite color matter? How important is personal preference when designing a productive work environment?
  • Can colors raise your blood pressure? Can colors calm you? What's the story behind "Drunk Tank Pink?"
  • Are some characteristics "hardwired" into us by evolution? Do we still have our caveman-cavewoman instincts from 30,000 years ago? How can these play a role in office design today?
  • If your office is too hot or too cold, too dry or too damp? Can the right colors alter your experience of the environmental factors?
  • What's the most irritating color for any critical task environment?
  • What's the most restful color for the human eye?

One of the most interesting and controversial sections covers the physiological effects of color. Is color really a magic bullet that will calm or energize you? Decrease hunger? What do your personality and personal preferences have to do with it? And most important of all, what are some scientific facts about the human eye that can help optimize your productivity?


This guide will show you how to tap the power of color to create a work space where mind and body function at their best!

Office Color Schemes

A newly revised section covers office color schemes based on 12 colors: red, orange, yellow, brown, green, blue-green, green, blue, purple, black, white and grey. A description of the advantages and disadvantages of specific shades of each color is also included. Illustrations show how to use the colors to create a dynamic effect ... or a softer and quieter effect. Easy to use instructions explain how to use these colors on walls, floors and furniture and which accent colors work best.

Choosing the right colors is the first step. Selecting the right color of paint or wallpaper or the right carpet color to deliver the desired results is not so easy. All too often, a color that looks ideal on a small paint sample explodes into a different color when you apply it to a wall. A subdued light champagne yellow paint color turns into a screeching sour lemon yellow on the walls, an olive carpet winds up brown, and a very light tint of any paint color turns out white. "Color Voodoo for the Office" includes a full section of guidelines for color predictability for furniture, paint, wall covering and flooring.


A little background about how the book came into being: The information is based on the author's University courses on color and design and her A.S.I.D. certified continuing education course for interior designers. "Color Voodoo for the Office" is written in understandable terms so that the general public may apply and benefit from the information. An added benefit! Since the book is electronic, you'll be able to download the book immediately.


Reviews and Comments

I want to tell you the book "Color Voodoo for the Office" was VERY useful in designing my new recording studio. I have done a few sessions and people are: happy, positive, creative and don't burn out fast. All the things I wanted when I got your book to assist the design process and the color schema for the studio. Merci votre equipe. David Donald,

I'm so impressed with "Color Voodoo for the Office." The content is just what I needed. I'm designing a new office space in a building that has historic qualities.

What I love the most is how one full page appears and is easy to read on my screen.
