In a business environment, white is associated with cleanliness, purity and translucent clarity. White is the inclusion of all colors, therefor it does not judge, dominate or invoke strong emotions. It is also the unifier of all colorations and it gives the impression of being openminded and forgiving. If you choose all white decor for your business, your aim is not to make a statement, but you are trying to relate a feel of openness and embrace. You are presenting an empty piece of white paper to your clients on which they are able to write their own story. White opens the inner mind for creation and thought. Design studios of any kind benefit from the color white, as the non judgmental back drop allows all other colors to shine and it allows the client to form their own vision for themselves.
The color white prompts innovation, fairness and illuminates thought. Because white does not attract a strong emotion or thoughts, a white conference room or meeting room can thus stimulate the creative mind and the exploratory process of reflection. Progressive hi-tech companies can benefit from an all white think tank where every thought is welcome and new ideas are born.
White can appear sterile, sometimes cold and lonely to the observer. It is imperative to understand how much white can be introduced to a room, before the emptiness overwhemls you. Sterile environments such a labs or chemical research facilities can stand the all white decor, as the mind needs to be fully present to the process.
Overall, white is a great color to use in any settings. It illuminates any color it is combined with and enhances the statement of the introduced hue. White itself is neutral and forgiving and somehow forgettable. The punch in a white decor will be made by the colors or energies that are combined with it.
