INTRODUCTIONWhen pattern a restaurant, there ar many things to consider besides the food for thought that is served there. Customers should be able to enjoy the atmosphere al or so as some(prenominal) as they enjoy the food in order for the restaurant to be successful. The flow of the flo or plan is important be urinate when a place is to a fault crowded or hard to maneuver, customers may not be as comfortable as they could be. In addition to the floor plan, the colors employ on the interior mask the successfulness of a restaurant beca procedure they can directly influence a persons desire to eat. Fig. 1 crank and undisturbed Color.In general there are two slipway to classify colors, warm and cool. Figure 1 gives a visual verbal description of these two groups and physically separates the two. However, aside from the visual differences, there are mental traits associated with each group as well. Warm colors are delineate as being bold and energetic, and they have the tendency to advance in space. This characteristic has both positive and negative effects because while victimization them can make something stand out, too much of them can be overwhelming in a sense that it drowns out the other colors. Cool colors are soothing and have a tendency to recede.They are good to use with things that are meant to be located in the orbit and they can make the space that they are used in reckon bigger than it really is.

Sci. , 5(12) 215-219, 2011 Fig. 2 Warm Color. Out of the seven hues that make up our panoptic range of color, red, orange, yellow, and some shades of green are considered to be the warm colors, as shown in Figure 2.The warm colors cause an increase in flavour rate, respiration, and logical argument pressure because it has a bear upon effect on the neuronal system. (Meola, 2005) Due to the size of its wavelength, red-faced is the most warm color and has the strongest effects on the human mind. It increases enthusiasm, encourages action, and is often associated with desire. The color orange shares some of the same characteristics as red but without the intensity. It stimulates activity, appetite, and encourages socialization. yellow encourages communication, activates memory, instills optimism and influences creative thoughts. Nicholson, 2002 Smith, 2008). While warm color can gain the maintenance of a human mind much quicker than a cool color, the characteristics of cool colors are just as important to consider. Fig. 3 Cool Color. The green, blue, indigo plant, and violet hues from our visible range of color are considered to be the cool colors, as shown in Figure 3. They have the opposite effect of warm colors and lower the heart rate, respiration, and blood pressure because they affect the parasympathetic branch of the nervous system. (Meola, 2005).The parasympathetic branch opposes physiological effects of the sympathetic nervous system by stimulating digestive secretions, retardant the heart, constricting the pupils, and dilates blood vessels. (Parasympathetic). Because green is often associated wit h nature, it has a soothing, peaceful, and quiet effect on the human mind. 216 Aust. J. Basic & Appl. Sci. , 5(12) 215-219, 2011 It divine services to get rid of nerves and anxiety and brings on a sense of renewal and self-control. Blue and indigo also calm and sedate the mind, but they have a tendency to lower body temperature and reduce appetite.Violet is a balance between the warm nature of red and the cool nature of blue. It causes the mind to experience calm, til now uplifted and inspired through creativity at the same time. (Nicholson, 2002 Smith, 2008). There are a few much colors that dont exactly fit in the categories of warm or cool. browned gives lot a sense of stability and orderliness. Gray can cause slew to feel unsettled. The human mind associates white with cleanliness and mental clarity, while mordant brings a feeling of emptiness but represents potential and possibility. Nicholson, 2002 Smith, 2008) In cabal with the warm and cool colors, these extras ca n be used to create a well balanced atmosphere that benefits multiple types of people at one time. The mental effects caused by color choices are important to consider when designing the interior of a restaurant. Since orange stimulates appetite, it would be a sassy idea to some shade of it in the dining area of the restaurant. Brown could act as a good accent color because it would help to create an order and flow within the restaurant. In the kitchen area, yellow would be a smart hoice because there needs to be good communication, approaching up with new recipes requires creativity, in any business there are times when optimism is needed, and there is so much going on that a good memory is beneficial. White accents would help because they make the kitchen space seem bigger and maintain and air of stability and cleanliness. In all the areas where in high spirits energy and activity is expected, warm colors are ideal to use. Red probably would invoke too much excitement, and thin gs could easily get uncomfortable and out of control.On the other hand, in waiting and bathroom areas people should feel calm and relaxed. This is where the cool colors can be used to takings the effects of the warm colors used in the other areas. The use of different types of colors when going from room to room help in maintaining a flow because people have to transition from one put of mind to another. If customers are comfortable and excited with anticipation to enjoy the food, then(prenominal) the restaurant will be successful. By choosing the right colors to samara the interior of a restaurant, it is possible to make them feel that way.Architectural Facade color selection Background In some areas , there is a centering of architectural facade color to change the base-color that developers should followed. But the problem is that in the guidance still remained the lack of harmonious color called color contaminant. In this section, the fact regarding what emotions a human has against the facade is strongly debatable. The answer of this study is to research the humans color selection of the architectural facade. Degree of Consideration in Surrounding (fig 4) Light tone has a tendency of consideration in favorite ?On the other hand, dark, pale, fair white-haired and dark grayish tones have a tendency of consideration in surrounding. Fig. 4 Degree of consideration of Surrounding. Degree of Harmony afterwards Color Selecting (fig 5) ? Light tones have more of a tendency of inharmoniousness than dark, pale, medium grayish and dark grayish tones. 217 Aust. J. Basic & Appl. Sci. , 5(12) 215-219, 2011 Fig. 5 Degree of congruity after color selecting. Degree of According In mood Between Before Color Selecting and The After (fig 6) ?Light and moderate tones have a tendency of discord in mental imagery in the surrounding colors tones. Fig. 6 Degree of according in imagination before color selecting and the after. Degree of Difficulty In Color Selecting (fig 7) colorful and dark grayish tones have a tendency of easier color selecting than the rest of surroundings Tones. Fig. 7 Degree of difficulty in color selecting. Degree of Satisfaction After Color Selecting (fig 8) Light tones have more of a tendency of dissatisfaction after color selecting than deep, dark and dark grayish tones. Fig. 8 Degree of satisfaction after color selecting.RESULT AND DISCUSSION our visible range of color, red, orange, yellow, and some shades of green are considered to be the warm colors. The warm colors cause an increase in heart rate, respiration, and blood pressure because it has a 218 Aust. J. Basic & Appl. Sci. , 5(12) 215-219, 2011 stimulating effect on the nervous system. The green, blue, indigo, and violet hues from our visible range of color are considered to be the cool colors. They have the opposite effect of warm colors and lower the heart rate, respiration, and blood pressure because they affect the parasympathetic branch of the nervous s ystem.As a result of the experiment, when color selecting of architectural facade takes into consideration surroundings, it is expected that chromium-plate relates the evaluation of Degree of consideration in surrounding and Degree of harmony after color selecting, These seem to relate to the previous study to term of saturation being an important factor in the harmony or necessity of legal control and selecting low saturation color for the townscape where it has the stoicism or feels good sense. It is expected that brightness in each same saturation level relates to the evaluation of Difficulty in the color selection.We need to verify that result in the different experimental condition. It was shown that different tendency between light tone and any others in Degree of consideration in surrounding orSatisfaction after color selection.
