Abstract
This study investigates the Impact of Colours on the Psychology of Children in Primary School Learning Environments. Despite the established effects of colours on human behaviour and psychology, limited research has explored the long-term effects of colour exposure on primary school children's attitudes, behaviour, and psychology. The thesis aims to explain the effect of colour on pupils in the primary school learning environment and to also shed light on how colour might be thoughtfully applied to improve the learning experience for these children. The objectives of this study are to identify colours that stimulate positive psychological responses in children, to examine the effect of colour choices on their overall engagement, and to determine the optimal colour schemes for primary school learning environments and effectively design a primary school for Lead City University with identified colour scheme. The methodology used in this thesis was a combination of literature review and case study deductions. The findings of this study will provide insights for educators, designers, and policymakers to create effective learning environments that promote children's overall development and academic success. The results of the thesis showed that different Colours have significant effects on children's behavior, emotions, and learning outcomes. Calming Colours like light blue and pale green should be used in areas where children need to relax and focus, such as reading corners and quiet zones. Stimulating Colours like red, and orange should be used in areas where creativity and engagement are encouraged, such as art rooms and play areas.
