What is a Classroom Color Scheme?
A classroom color scheme is an arrangement or combination of colors that are used in a learning environment.
Why Use a Classroom Color Palette?
A classroom color scheme is a great choice for a number of reasons. First, it gives your classroom an organized, cohesive look. Whether you stick to one color or incorporate a few, having some kind of theme makes everything look more put together.
Second of all, a color scheme looks great paired with any other classroom theme (tropical, mermaid, mountains, etc). This allows you to add more color to your classroom and prevent it from becoming too theme based.
Finally, you can choose a color scheme based on the items that are already in your room. For example, if you have a lot of blue storage items, you might want to use a blue color scheme to bring the whole room together. However, if your room is very plain, a color scheme is great way to bright things up.
How Do I Choose a Classroom Color Palette?
Selecting a color palette for your classroom is easy! Here are a few things you might want to consider that will help you choose.
- What is my favorite color?
- Are there any colors that are already present in my classroom?
- Are there any colors that I want to highlight that are already present in my room?
- What color or colors would look good with my current classroom theme?
- What feeling do I want to have in my classroom?
