HOW TO COLOUR SPECIFIC EDUCATIONAL AREAS A carefully selected colour palette within educational settings can certainly contribute to the creation of a positive and comfortable learning environment. To select colours we recommend the following steps be taken: Step 1 – Start by selecting a neutral for the main broadwall colour. Step 2 – Select a shade for the feature wall. The following colour schemes reflect recommendations from our experienced colour team across a series of key education environments. Begin by choosing a neutral as this will be the main colour used for the majority of wall surfaces and add in your selection of accents across both feature walls and doors. Communal education areas Classrooms and communal education areas are where our brightest minds are formed. When space is limited and rooms are busy, select a colour combination that delivers a sense of light and focus and makes the most of the space available. Many classroom colour schemes are built around the use of a feature wall as the key teaching zone. This is the area that the students will be facing most of the time, so using a suitable bright colour brings focus to the space and can actively encourage learning and concentration. Remember to also consider the age of the students and the orientation of the room when making these colour decisions. Main broadwall, windows and trim Large spaces and corridors Though an appealing aesthetic is important, the key consideration here should be durability and cleanability. These areas will endure frequent and high traffic so will be subject to regular cleaning cycles. When selecting colours, consider a palette of colours that makes areas easy to recognise and navigate. Main broadwall, windows and trim Hint: Remember to consider the LRV and visual contrasting requirements when preparing a colour palette.
