NHS Brief Colours

I have been looking into potential colours to use considering Camilla's suggestion of pastel colours.

Lavendar colours are said to symbolize elegance and grace - this would be suitable, if not for the logo for the interior. The colours are very relaxing and friendly.

Pink is said to symbolise love and caring, acceptance and calm. Again, I feel this would be suitable for an interior, particularly the more lighter hues.


In colour psychology turquoise is used to help create balance with emotions. It is said to heighten sensitivity. This colour I feel would not be suitable for an interior, but may be useful in connection with a logo.
The colour green is said to be a positive colour as it is uplifting and friendly - its also the colour of nature. This would be an apt colour for an interior and the logo.

As St Martins Practice has only ever had blue, I would like to steer away from this for the interior but it is a possibility for the logo. Blue is said to be the colour of honesty and loyalty, this is probably a good reason for the use of it in the NHS - and it can be a striking colour.

One of my least favourite colours, but it symbolises warmth, it is true, these kind of terracotta shades make me feel warm.
