A majority of the workers strongly believed that color-coordination has relationship with work productiviry and that their preferences for color should be considered in office design. It is interesting to note that this study has found female workers to have higher awareness of colors than male workers. Female workers are less satisfied with colors in their office environment than the male. Overall satisfaction of color-coordination is more than average and higher marks of satisfaction is proportional to higher levels of work position.
