Colors in large areas should have similarreflectance's, especially if the areas are adjacentto each other.

Large areas or big objects should not be paintedin bright, intense colors because it cause people

to see after images. Contrasting colors in spaces are important to

relieve visual monotony


27/33

Work requiring intense concentration is done ( a technical writersoffice or a data entry center, for example ), walls and ceilingsshould be painted in light colors that do not attract attention.

Bright, intense colors such as orange, bright yellow, red, andbright blue are best used in places that are mainly used for shortperiods of time. For example, entrance halls, corridors,circulation.

Variety can be introduced through accessories such as plants,photos in workstations, and woven wall hangings.(Joyce andWallersteiner,1989)
