So, I’m going to give everyone a green pencil to use during testing and you can wear your class t-shirt, which happens to be green. If you’re feeling stressed or overwhelmed, stop, look at your pencil, and take a deep breath. Think about the bright green leaves bursting from the deciduous trees. Think about a thick, woody forest filled with coniferous trees. Close your eyes and imagine your lying in thick green grass looking up at cumulus clouds.
You probably know this already, just by taking a look at a forest or a field. Low wavelength colors promote restfulness and calm, and they improve efficiency and focus.
So that’s why green is an excellent color for improving concentration. Apart from being one of the easiest colors on the eyes, it reminds us of nature. That’s why TV stars stay in the ‘green room’. It’s a relaxing space.
Green is a good color for keeping long-term concentration and clarity, making it a good choice for an office – as opposed to red, which is seen as stimulating and exciting. Maybe it helps in the short term, but stimulation has to tail off sometimes. Interestingly enough, there’s some real scientific evidence for this. Some studies have shown that people who work in green offices have higher rates of job satisfaction, and consumers have been shown to spend more time shopping in stores that are painted green [1].
