Feng Shui offers a few tips about the usage of right colours in the work for capturing good luck, attracting more clients, create a better working atmosphere thus increasing productivity. Certain colours are effective for specific businesses. 

For example, a bakery should ideally be either all white or multicoloured so that it shows purity and hygiene.A jewellery store can be red white or blue. Yellow is avoided for the reason that ornaments would attract more attention with contrast background colours.
