With vacation season ending, and back to school around the corner, this month’s palette explores colors for educational environments. Focusing on preschool and elementary school spaces, a palette of primary and secondary colors is our choice.

Bold and confident, a blue, yellow, red, and green are grounded by an easy neutral hue of Pebblebrook. This functional palette is perfect for promoting playfulness, positivity, and stimulation.

Ideal for preschool and elementary school classrooms, create an encouraging learning environment with bold color. Using a color-blocking technique, natural Pebblebrook is combined with primary colors, Dandy Lion and Empower. For classroom walls, wooden chairs, and desks,  the three colors of Aqueous, Florida Waters, and Empower create a fun and positive mood.

For those looking to home-school this academic year, creating a designated area for your little ones to learn and have fun in is a great way to help with work-life balance. Playful wall murals are also a brilliant way to enhance creativity. Use true blue, Florida Waters, as your key paint color and create a starry-night theme with stenciled stars in primary red, Empower, and neutral Pebblebrook.

School corridors are given a colorful update with walls in cheerful yellow and lockers in a combination of bold blue, red, and green. Sports halls can also benefit from this color-confident palette through painted wall murals. This not only offsets an uninspiring white wall, but can also be a creative activity to involve the students in. So, this August let our inspiring color tips support you in making interior paint choices to enhance children’s engagement and mood in the classroom and beyond.
