Colour Codes
Soft blues and greens are present on the larger walls, which evoke calmness and tranquillity, promoting focus and concentration. These cooler tones balance the brightness, ensuring that the environment remains peaceful and conducive to learning. In areas that require a touch of elegance, muted neutrals like light beige and soft greys were used to create a sense of sophistication without overwhelming the space. These neutral tones provide a grounding element, offering a perfect backdrop for the more vibrant colours to stand out while maintaining a polished, modern aesthetic. Accents of orange and red are used sparingly in specific zones to inspire motivation and passion.
These colours, applied to key focal points like corridors and activity rooms, help create an engaging environment that encourages interaction and fosters a sense of community within the school. The strategic use of these colours reflects an intentional design approach, focusing on both the psychological effects of colour and the school’s vision of fostering an inspiring, productive, and positive educational experience.
