Accessible Design in Hospitality: The role of paint colours, colour psychology, and neurodiversity
Colour psychology studies how colours affect emotions and behaviours. Warm colours like soft reds, oranges, and yellows evoke warmth and sociability, ideal for lively areas such as lobbies and restaurants. Cooler colours like blues and greens promote calm and relaxation, suited for guest rooms, spas, and quiet lounges.
However, these effects are not universal. Neurological differences mean colour responses vary widely. A one-size-fits-all approach risks discomfort or sensory overload, especially for neurodiverse guests.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Hotel Designs.
