Wikoff Designs Kafoury, Armstrong, & Co with Natural Colors

We love discussing color palettes and how they can influence mood, boost healing processes and affect how staff feel and act in their work environment. We recently highlighted the Parkin Color Chart in one of our blog posts for research done on color therapy.

The Parkin Color Research showed that color is a fundamental element in design – not only for its impact on aesthetic and technical aspects of human-made environments, but also for its influence on psychological, physiological and social reactions of human beings.

The design used warm, natural neutrals accented with several shades of green.
