From a grand opening to a rebranding, restauranteurs have to be thinking about the impact of color on their businesses. Here are some things to think about when decorating your dining room.

• Blues and purples – Focus on these colors if you serve seafood or if you are primarily trying to get customers to buy drinks. It’s perfect for a bar or for a seaside restaurant for tourists.
• Browns and greens – Starbucks knew exactly what they were doing when they picked a green logo and developed earth tones as their color scheme. People associate the color green with health and life. It’s not going to work everywhere, but blending shades of green with wood is perfect if you want to evoke sustainability and healthy food.
• Yellows and oranges – These are the top colors to think about for most restaurants. We associate yellow and orange with many different types of food as it is. Plus, by playing with natural light just right, you have the opportunity to make sure your patrons are both happy and hungry. You can even work these colors into a fine dining setting with cloth napkins.
• Red – Red can actually raise a person’s blood pressure and make them feel rushed. It’s not great for a sit-down meal, but you can understand why it works for McDonald’s and other fast food giants.
