What color would be best for classroom walls?

Question

This is for an elementary school classroom. I'm going for warm and welcoming, peaceful, but I don't want to environment to be over-stimulating. Thanks!

Answer 1

Soft Yellows are said to create a warmth and welcoming environment. What ever you do do not go for creams and whites because they do not stimulate interest and creativity. If its a calm room go for soft blues. But I fully suggest yellow, our science lab uses it with blue cabinates and it looks great! Besides, yellows a happy colour! ;)

Answer 2

A color that is nice to look at - for younger kids, a bright, fun color that isn't too distracting, for older kids, I'd say a beachy color, pale yellows, lavenders, light blues, that kind of thing !

Answer 3

I think like a nice cream is good.
Not exacly white, but it's kind of like a light yellow white. err
