University students' preferences for classroom wall colors

At the present time, all seek to achieve psychological and physical comfort for students at all stages of their education, because most of universities use white color to paint the walls of the classroom. The aim of this study is to analyze the color used in the classroom in terms of preference and other favorite colors of students in the universities, in other words, to understand the usability of the white color within the classrooms. A questionnaire was administered to the student in Çankaya and Atılım universities. The results of the study indicated that the majority of the students do not prefer color used in universities (white) but there are other colors better than it, such as light blue and beige. These colors increase the educational attainment and creativity among students through the positive effects of these colors on the feeling of the students inside the classroom. The study suggests using alternative colors for white to increase student activity and reduce problems caused by colors in the classroom.
