The impact of colours

Colors have a decisive influence on our visual perception of a room. In meetings, for example, you can use colors to create an atmosphere that will support the overall aim of the meeting.

Colors can be used consciously to create a specific atmosphere in a meeting room. All it takes is some thought as to the overall aim of the meeting and to choose the colors that will stimulate the desired atmosphere in the meeting. Each color has both a physical and mental influence on our wellbeing and general health. It is therefore important to keep in mind what effect the colors will have in a given space.

Using intense bursts of colors create a dynamic and positive environment and they can help provide an open atmosphere. Here, at the Radisson Blu Royal Viking in Stockholm a mix of intense colors have been used to create a dramatic but sophisticated atmosphere.

Bright colors stimulate the senses and encourage participation and activity. Here, at the Radisson Blu Scandinavia in Gothenburg bright colors have been used for a meeting room to create a highly reflective and stimulating atmosphere.

Dark colors like brown, indigo, olive and chestnut carry a weight that calls for stability and passion. Here, at the Radisson Blu Park Hotel in Oslo the colors have been used in a mix to create a cozy but professional ambience.

Nature's colors are brown and green in all their tones. They signal reliability, responsibility, balance and harmony. Green also symbolizes optimism and hope. Here at Radisson Blu Scandinavia in Copenhagen, the bright tones of nature have been used to create a harmonious and relaxed space.

At the Radisson Blu Metropol Hotel in Helsingburg the colors black and white are used in many different patterns to create an elegant and luxury atmosphere.

Grey is not boring especially if used with white and natural colors and materials. Grey symbolizes a neutral and impartial space. Here, at the Radisson Blu Riverside, Gothenburg grey is used for the health and spa area to create a neutral and timeless environment.

Warm colors are stimulating. They provide space for contemplation. Here an example from Radisson Blu Grand Hotel Tammer in Tampere of the use of warm colors to create a soft atmosphere.
