I bet the Bloods and the Crips would agree with this statement. If it’s red, you’re dead, and if you’re down with the blue, then you’re through. But, if you run an outsourcing business, you are probably not gang affiliated.
It is a proven fact that colors change your mood. Restaurants that have the right amount of maroon red seem to prosper. Red is the color of the fire element, and restaurants prosper when their innate element is present. Restaurants use fire to cook which is why its metaphysical color is red. But, the maroon shade of red seems to work miracles at Italian, Chinese and Japanese restaurants that I’ve been to.
Certain colors are good in advertising materials. Blue has a tone of stability while green stimulates creative thought. Pink makes you feel good while red is exciting and stimulating.
But, what about meetings? Does your meeting room have white walls? Maybe you need to paint the room every time you have a meeting to adjust what you want the mood to be. If you are having a meeting about creating a new marketing scheme, then green might help. Or perhaps having green plants in the room might help as plants have an amazing growth energy (if you remember to water them.)
Red is a good color to stimulate strong emotions. People might get all fired up or even angry if there is too much red around. I’m not sure being too robust at meetings is a good idea though. Red is a very strong color in feng-shui. A little goes a long way. The fire element can also stimulate other energies in a positive or negative way. So, be careful in how you use red!
Orange is a happy color. Also a fire element, but not as strong as red. Orange can stimulate enthusiasm, creativity, and determination.
Aqua is a very relaxing and calming color. If you want a meeting that is not too intense you could try aqua.
But, what if you could experiment with color at meetings. What if you could see if color theory really did affect your meetings in a small way, or even in a huge way. You could even have meetings by the beach, in a forest, or while walking just to see how the meeting went. There is a lot of experimentation you can do with meetings which can affect the output. My astrologer actually picks days for me to have meetings with various people. Certain days are good for business while other days are good for meeting with programmers if Uranus is in my chart on that particular day. It is complicated, but astrology has actually helped me plan my life. I avoid doing important things on days with negative constellations. So, experiment with astrology if you are using a professional. Experiment with color at meetings and with sales literature. Track the results of your experiments and see if color makes any difference.
