Colour therapy

Fruition is an interior design consultancy with a special interest in how colour affects children and how it can enhance their behaviour and desire to learn. Fruition's work in schools takes into account the studies by Frank H Mahnke and Heinrich Frieling that maintain that very young children prefer primary colours that they can confidently identify with, while older children have broader tastes and favour tertiary shades. It was also noted that a lack of colour or too much, overwhelming, colour can lead to disruptive behaviour. Recipients of recent 'colour treatments' by Fruition include a school on special measures whose head teacher claims very beneficial effects. An initial consultation with Fruition is free and subsequent work is priced from around 900, according to the number of classrooms and the level of detail required.
