Applying color to your workspace can help you achieve your goals, create energy and otherwise benefit you. For example, Earth colors — those that resemble colors found in nature, such as green and brown — are helpful because they symbolize grounding and stability and generate yin (passive) energy.Using Earth colors can help you feel grounded and connected at work. Feeling grounded is essential in high-pressure jobs, when you work long hours, or when stress is high for any reason.
