School classrooms are environments that can have a decisive impact on pupils' well-being and motivation to learn. The pilot project "Farbe macht Schule" (Colour sets the tone) is the first to investigate how colour affects the well-being of pupils in learning environments. 

In the pilot project "Farbe macht Schule", the SCDH is responsible for making different colour spectrums visible and tangible in a realistic test room in the Living Labs. The aim is to test the effect of colours in an environment that is as true to life as possible. 

The preliminary study on the colour spectrums surveyed was developed in study courses in the subject of colour design at the Faculty of Design at the University of Applied Sciences and Arts (HAWK) and supplemented by scientific research. These findings are now being transferred to a real environment and tested with selected user groups. The focus is on evaluating emotional responses in interaction with colour.
