Age And Color Preferences

Age has a lot to do with color preferences. Children, for example, like different colors from adults. This is because children see color differently than adults.

Why do children see colors differently from adults?

Children see colors differently from adults because children's eyes are younger and have not changed due to the aging process. Consequently, their eyes absorb 10% of the blue light that passes through their eye lenses. Adults, however, absorb 85% of the blue light that pass through their eyes. This is due to the fluids in the lenses yellowing with age.) The result is that many adults prefer blue while kids prefer something like yellow.

What colors do adults like most in comparison to kids?

In this order, adults have shown to prefer: blue, red, green, while, pink, violet, and orange.

Kids have shown to prefer yellow, white, pink, red, orange, blue, green and violet.

Children's Rooms

When staging homes and children's rooms, pay attention to the colors that children like. Try to incorporate the that children prefer into children's rooms. Use Color Schemes for wall, flooring, and permanent window coverings, such as blinds. Use the other hues for items that can easily be changed.

Kid's stuff is colorful and can offer interest to their rooms. When staging homes and kids rooms, try to incorporate everyday items such as toys and books, into the color scheme for kids rooms. Paint wooden or metal display shelves with neutral colors and change only the accessories when staging for older children.

Use Art and Bulletin Boards

Art and bulletin boards can offer a quick dose of color. Frame artwork or posters in colorful borders when staging homes involving children. Select picture frames with removable backs in neutrals or a color children won't tire of. Alternatively, cover the bulletin board with paint or fabric to work with any color scheme.
