Color Psychology in Business: A Neuroaesthetic Approach to Workplace Well-Being

By Sharon Carey, The Color Club – Sharon Carey Home

What if the colors in your office could reduce stress, boost productivity, and support employee retention?

They can—and they do.

Welcome to the world of neuroaesthetics, where design meets brain science. At Sharon Carey Home, we specialize in using color psychology and biophilic design to create workplaces that don’t just look good—they feel good.

Why Color Psychology Matters at Work

Color is more than visual it's neurological.

Our brains interpret color as emotional data. Blue can quiet a racing mind. Yellow can energize a sluggish team. Green—especially in natural elements—can lower cortisol and reduce fatigue.

Strategic color choices enhance mood, motivation, and even collaboration.

The Biophilic Bonus

Biophilia refers to our innate connection to nature. By incorporating nature-inspired hues—think leafy greens, earthy browns, soft sky blues—you evoke calm and clarity. Add textures and plant life, and you’ve got a space that restores rather than drains.

Color with biophilic elements = a workplace people want to return to.

Design That Delivers Results

You don’t need a full renovation to create change. A few intentional choices—colored accent walls, botanical art, vibrant accessories—can shift the tone of your entire environment.

Through The Color Club, I teach leaders how to use color to:

✔ Support neurodiversity and emotional well-being

✔ Reinforce brand identity through sensory experience

✔ Create spaces that fuel focus and connection
