Custom Colour
TRANSPRESS
Colour psychology has long been a subject of extensive research and fascination within the design community. It is widely acknowledged that various shades and hues can elicit different emotions in individuals. But how can we apply this knowledge to enhance the passenger experience? The answer lies in incorporating colour psychology into the interior design of trains, as the right choice of colours can significantly impact passenger well-being and overall satisfaction.
Colour psychology is the study of how colours can elicit specific emotions in us. Research shows that light and colour can affect our mood, sleep, heart rate, and even our well-being. Colour is a powerful opportunity to design spaces that make a real difference – from helping people sleep or reducing stress to motivating productivity.
Colour can be used to change the apparent size or proportions of a space, making small spaces appear roomier or spacious areas seem smaller.
Depending on age, gender and culture, users will have different reactions to colours and shades. A person might prefer brighter, more vibrant colours when they are younger, but find themselves preferring more traditional colours as they grow older. Warm colours are great for creating a cosy or comfortable feeling in a room. Cool colours can be used to create a calming effect. Bright, bold colours can be used to stimulate activity or creativity. it is crucial to think about who will be using the rail vehicles and the kind of mood you want to create.
