    | “None but the productive can be strong. None but the strong will survive.” The saying may be old but the message is gold. Colours play a vital role while planning the interiors of your workplace. Feng Shui offers a few tips about the usage of right colours in the work for capturing good luck, attracting more clients, create a better working atmosphere thus increasing productivity. Certain colours are effective for specific businesses.
  For example, a bakery should ideally be either all white or multicoloured so that it shows purity and hygiene.A jewellery store can be red white or blue. Yellow is avoided for the reason that ornaments would attract more attention with contrast background
colours. An executive’s office in creative fields can have their offices in green, red, sky blue or
multicoloured. Also given here is a business by business list of colours suited for a particular enterprise.
