The science behind the color palette of these posters:

• These colors were carefully selected based on educational research showing that certain colors support student learning and classroom behavior.
• Green: Multiple researchers identify green as the optimal classroom color because it aids concentration and replenishes mental energy.
• Blue: Neuroscience research shows blue environments enhance cognitive performance and promote mental clarity for intellectual tasks.
• Neutrals: Research shows colors with low blue light content reduce eye strain and provide visual comfort for extended viewing.
• Soft pink and lavender: These gentle colors appear in research-validated calming color schemes and support social-emotional learning environments.
• Muted orange: Used as an accent, warm tones enhance feelings of comfort and facilitate positive interactions.
• The soft, muted quality of all colors in this palette prevents overstimulation.
• These colors work as educational tools to help students focus better and feel calmer, which can help them learn more effectively.
