Improve the Mood With Color

When it comes to event planning, the significance of colour cannot be overstated. Just as you carefully select swatches before painting a room, the colours you choose for your event can profoundly affect attendees’ emotions and perceptions. Understanding this psychological impact is key to elevating event atmospheres and memorable experiences.

Making informed and careful decisions about design before the meeting even starts is crucial to support attendee well-being and high performance – and a lot of that is anchored to something as simple as the color palette you choose. Choosing the right colour scheme can help create a specific mood or ambiance that aligns with your event objectives. Bold and contrasting colors can draw people’s eyes to key areas, such as displays, or focal points. Engaging color choices can also make your event memorable and enhance the overall attendee experience.

As a meeting planner, increasing attendee engagement, learning outcomes, and influencing mood is always top of mind. We want attendees to walk away with a positive, accomplished feeling, so we ask ourselves: Are attendees and exhibitors satisfied and motivated? Or are they stressed and disappointed?  

Once you’ve determined the direction, an easy way to boost meeting productivity is using color-changing technology. Change the color of your room instantly with wireless LED lights – whether it’s through uplighting or a pre-determined meeting package. Controlled remotely, your attendees won’t be physically disturbed, and the intent of the presentation or speaker can shift without skipping a beat.
