What Your Palette Says About You [The Psychology of Spring Colours]

As the seasons change, so do our moods - and spring is the perfect time to reflect that shift through colour. The colours you choose to paint your home not only refresh your space but can also influence how you feel every day. By understanding the psychology behind popular spring shades, you can create an atmosphere that energises, soothes, or inspires - and Haymes Paint has the perfect palette to help you do just that.

Pastels are the heroes of spring. Soft hues like mint green [Try: Haymes Paint: Opaline G32, or Green Lily], lavender [Try: Haymes Paint: Lavendar Haze, Platinum Lilac, or Sweet Violet], and blush pink [Try: Haymes Paint: Pigtail, or Sweet Sixteen] are calming and light-reflective, helping rooms feel larger and more tranquil. These tones are perfect for those who crave clarity and serenity after the heaviness of winter.

If you're drawn to vibrant corals or sunny yellows, you likely thrive on warmth and positivity. These colours are energising and joyful - perfect for kitchens, creative spaces, or social areas. Try out Haymes Paint: Coral Bay, Buttercup Mist or Nostalgia to bring more energy without overwhelming your space.

Aqua and earthy greens connect us with nature and evoke calm, clarity, and growth - ideal for bathrooms, bedrooms or home offices. Shades like Aqua Foam, Pastel Pine, Essence or Seabreeze by Haymes Paint can help ground a space while still embracing spring’s freshness.

Ultimately, your spring palette reflects your state of mind. Whether you want to feel more peaceful, productive, or playful, colour can set the tone. Paint isn’t just about aesthetics - it’s about emotion. Ready to refresh? Find your perfect match at PaintRight, with expert advice and Haymes Paint’s designer-curated colour range.
