Despite the ever increasing role digital plays in a pupil\u2019s learning, there is still a reliance on print in the form of text books, wall displays, newsletters to parents and even safety notices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And even with the touchscreen seeking to replace paper, there is still a call for print to engage children in class through providing eye-catching displays, almost always in colour. It\u2019s through the use of colours in displays and text used in classrooms and corridors which could even have an impact on the mood of a pupil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">OKI looked at the correlation between colour schemes and pupils\u2019 moods in a recent article online. With this in mind, we have prepared a short rundown of the impact some colours can have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They looked at \u2018warm colours\u2019 and their bearing on class behaviour. Colours such as reds, oranges and yellows were described as soothing and could give an impression of creativity. \u201cThe right shade is essential, as they can be a little stressful if they are too garish and bright. These can be ideal for more informal messages \u2013 and particularly ones for children. Red is an exciting colour that can suggest determination and boldness. It can also be used for warnings, to suggest danger \u2013 or things to avoid doing,\u201d wrote OKI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Brightness of colours was also analysed and red in particular with brighter reds said to indicate energy and eagerness. This could then be used for posters which are most commonly seen at break times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yellow is often considered the most energising colour in the spectrum, as people associate it with the sun \u2013 and therefore warmth and happiness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are looking for a more relaxing colour (or \u2018cooler\u2019 colour), then blues and greens are recommended but should be perhaps saved for formal communications, such as a newsletter to parents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For neutrality, the most common colours to use are of whites, greys and blacks, but you can also find the same effect when you add subtle tints and shades of other colours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Keep your school\u2019s ink cartridge supply well stocked with our great value and high-quality <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cartridgepeople.com\/\">ink cartridges<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OKI have discussed the importance of colour printing in education.
