Why do some restraunts paint their walls ugly colors?

Answer 1

Some restaurants, particularly fast food restaurants like McDonalds, will paint their walls ugly or bizarre colours to discourage people from staying there too long. By the same rationale, hospitals paint their walls in muted pastel colours to try to calm and comfort people

Answer 2

I have found two reasons:
1- They think the colors are attractive. Cooks shouldn't decorate.
2- Someone told them that this was a good color to entice people to eat/buy food.

I am always astounded that restaurant owners choose such gross and unappealing color schemes. I will never return to a restaurant that makes me feel uncomfortable for any reason. Color is a very basic item that needs to be welcoming and not offensive.

Answer 3

Some just use the cheapest paint on hand. Or some have poor taste in decorators.

they want you to enjoy your meal then not turnu it into an all day gabfest over three more cups of coffee and four hurs of yakking the average 25 minutes that you will be there after your meal is served is calculated into how many meals they think they will serve in one day which is factored into how much food they do preprep on for that day

Answer 5

They want to spend money on preparing the best food possible, while spending less money on making the buildings look good.

Answer 6

So people dont stay their long after they are done with their food, or because they cant afford to over paint them.

Answer 7

Honestly, because it makes their food look that much more appetizing.

Answer 8

so people don't loiter there after finishing their meal and other customers can go and sit there.
