In case you are running a restaurant or you are planning to open a restaurant soon then the following few color psychology tips will help you make the best out of it.

  • Blue and purple can result in loss of appetite: usually the subconscious mind connects blue or purple to toxins. Yes, I know there are some healthy Chinese food that is blue yet studies has shown that they can decrease the appetite.
    If you want lots of customers to visit your restaurant and to eat more then avoid the blue color.
  • Yellow would make people stay less at your restaurant: yellow is an irritating color. People tend to feel more irritated in yellow rooms. Some fast food restaurants paint their walls in yellow in order to motivate people to leave as soon as they order their food so that they free more space for new customers .
  • Green is relaxing: Green is a relaxing color and can improve vision. People associate green with nature and that's why they feel more comfortable in rooms painted in green. Painting your restaurant's wall with a green color is a good idea
  • Red is an appetite stimulator & eye catching color:red is a very eye catching color and this makes it useful in case you want to draw some attention to your restaurant. but take care, do not over use the red color because it's still an irritating color just like yellow .It might be a good idea to use some red on the outer walls to direct some attention to your restaurant. Red stimulates the appetite and it was found that a red table would make people eat more.
