Question

I'm tutoring from home. Is there a color that I should paint the room that stimulates learning/creativity?

Answer 1

A pale green is relaxing, browns are depressing, we have classical music at some time in the day just low in the background and it does seem to work.  Cream perhaps then you can always add colour wuith their works of art and work they produce so it is visiable.  We have a map on one wall and things we buy we cut out the country of origin and stick it on the map.  They can then work out the carbon footprint of that item and whether it was a good (green )buy or not.  Good luck to you all.  It is very rewarding.  :)

Educationcity.com is very helpful too for primary age.  10 min demo free £30 per yr per child and you get 2 free upgrades as & when you require them  There is a success tracker so you/they  can view any progress.

Answer 2

According to psychological tests, yellow or orange.  

My house is pretty colorful - barely a white wall in the place - and my son routinely chooses to do his schoolwork in the room that is painted a mid-to-dark yellow.  I've noticed that his retention is higher when he studies in there as well, oddly enough :)

At a good friend's house, when he studies with her kids, they also often choose to study in the rooms that are painted some combination of orange and yellow.

Answer 5

I would probably go with a very light orange. Some people suggest bright colors to evoke creativity, but some people (like me, personally) are very annoyed by bright colors, and it causes a negative mood. Something pastel, yet warm, like orange or yellow, is always a good bet.
