Educational Colour Schemes

A decorative scheme should create an environment that helps to stimulate learning. The effective use of colour in different learning areas can result in the required mood – for example, lively discussion in a classroom, quiet concentration in a library.

Circulation Areas
Colours should create a relaxing and welcoming environment.

Classrooms
Colours should create a stimulating and inspiring environment, whilst also aiding concentration and focus.

Sports Halls
Colours need to be practical and mark out different areas of a sports facility.

Toilets & Changing Rooms
Colours need to be practical and can be a combination of bold and soft hues.

Kitchen & Dining Areas
Colours should be clean and fresh.

Medical Rooms
Create a clean and calm environment by using pale pastel shades in green, blue, pink or grey.

Residential Accommodation
Use practical colours in students’ personal spaces so they can easily add their own touches and make the place their own during their stay.

*Every effort has been made to ensure the colours on screen are accurate colour representations. Unfortunately we cannot guarantee an exact colour match and the colour appearing on screen should be used as a guide only. Johnstone's would like to recommend that a testerpot is used to give you a better idea of the actual colour before you commit to a colour purchase.
