1. Light Colours: White, Beige, and Light Grey

If you have a small spaced restaurant, painting your restaurant interior walls with any of the light colors will help you make your restaurant look big. Colors such as white and beige have also been proved to evoke a relaxed feel among customers, making them want to stay more as they feel welcomed. If you have any bright color painted already then painting the opposite wall can be an excellent choice to create a relaxing effect.

Restaurants which have a high volume of customer’s every day should avoid applying light colors as with high volume customer staying time in the restaurant should be as minimum as possible.

At the same time, you must never go overboard with these restaurant interior colors and use them in contrast with other colors as they can act as diet suppressants. So while beige is relaxing and royal and would be perfect for use in a 5 star, you must always use it with a bit of white or green or even hints of red that breaks the effect of beige. You could use potted plants or minimal red seating to create this effect with white floors. The point is that your color combinations should not aim at one specific emotion but generate a range of them for your maximum benefit.

2. Relaxing Colours: Green and Brown

Green is and always has been the color to be associated with nature, and it creates a relaxed atmosphere in the restaurant. It makes the customer relax and encourages them to stay for a while. The most important aspect of painting the restaurant green is that the customers want to eat healthy and well-balanced food. Health-based restaurants should apply a calm tone of green on their walls, and a little hint of woody brown might help as well. Green doesn’t work in bars and pubs which need to have a dim light as the green then turns gloomy and depressing. Brown, on the other hand, is excellent in patches and minimal uses but used too much it can tip over the entire look and make the restaurant feel rustic and not in a good way. The key is to balance the restaurant interior colors that you have chosen.

3. Curbing Appetite: Blue and Purple

No matter how unbelievable it may sound, the colors blue and purple have been associated with toxins and thus decrease the appetite of customers. Whether or not this statement is true, the fact is that there aren’t many naturally occurring blue or purple food items which are why they are considered to limit the appetite a person has. Blue is generally linked with relaxation. So if you own a coffee house where you want people to have a relaxing time and enjoy their beverages, blue and purple should be your restaurant interior colors.

Cafe Coffee Day makes abundant use of the color purple and is one of the most popular coffee destinations in the country. But do not forget that they do so with a contrast of red which is almost at the opposite end of the color wheel. While purple and brown wood typically saw in a ‘Cafe Coffee Day’ create the aura, the red logo gives it fast-casual dining feel and encourages impulsive buying. Also, red catches the customer’s eye far before purple, so the decision to spend is already cultivated before the relaxing mood kicks in.
4. Rushing In and Out: Bright Shades of Red and Yellow

Yellow and Red are the most widely used colors in logos as they are the most comfortable colors to see. Both these colors elevate the heart rate and blood pressure of the customers and create an exciting emotion, which makes them eat fast and leave. Most of the fast food restaurants and QSR restaurants have either red or yellow walls or have accessories such as mugs, cups of the same color on the table. These colors schemes are only advisable for the places which have a high footfall and want the customers to leave fast. McDonald’s and KFC are the classic examples of fast food restaurants making use of color psychology on customers.

5. Letting The Customers Stay: Warmer Shades of Red, Orange, Brown

Dark, earthy colors when painted onto the walls in light shades and combined with a little lighting of warm colors helps the customers relax and want to stay more. Darker shades of red, maroon, warm orange and brown tend to boost the appetite of the customers making them an appropriate color choice for fine dining restaurants which specialize in multi-course meals
