If you ask the teacher what factors will affect students' learning, you will get a variety of answers - mainly about teaching methods, courses and other factors. You are almost unlikely to hear "color" as a response.
Although the influence of color is often ignored, it is an integral part of our daily life and exists in everything we see. Research shows that color plays a role in emotion, efficiency, communication and learning.
Various studies point to one result: the use of color will have a significant impact on emotion, and ultimately will affect a person's work and learning. In fact, research on emotion and color shows that there is a direct relationship between color and positive and negative feelings. The use of color also helps determine the purpose of the room, whether it is quiet learning, collaboration or relaxation.
According to a 2004 study by Kaya and Epps entitled "The relationship between color and emotion: a study on college students", the following situations were found:
Green is associated with relaxation and peace, and happiness, comfort, peace, hope and excitement follow.
Yellow is usually regarded as lively and energetic, which reminds people of sunshine and summer.
Grey is related to negative emotions such as sadness, depression, boredom, confusion, fatigue, loneliness, anger and fear.
However, the color of educational furniture is also an important part of the school. Similar to the color of walls, small pieces used in different spaces also need different colors to promote learning. Although there is no comprehensive method for color selection of rooms and furniture, it can help guide color selection by looking at the impact of color on mood and connecting it with the purpose of learning space.
If you want to match all the elements of the room, you can use furniture colors similar to the wall colors, focusing on the calming green and blue.
Jiansheng Education innovates the colors of desks and chairs, uses Chinese colors, and decorates the classroom space with bright and contrasting colors. Color can affect emotion, emotion and efficiency, and ultimately affect students' success. Although there is no one size fits all approach to the use of colors, the use of rooms can be considered to guide the selection of color schemes. Facing the future, we should have more attempts and explorations on color matching in school space design.
