From my studies in design and art in college, I learned that colors have an emotional impact.

Red and orange stimulate; light blue and light green are calming - a consideration for a child who is stimulated by the environment.

For visually impaired consider using large dark hands on a wall clock, contrasting color door handles, and making room dividers a darker color than items near.

Bright white reflects glare which can be a problem for those with Irlen Syndrome (SSS).

Busy floor surfaces can distract those needing a matte uncluttered surface to navigate. And, a pattern of alternate black and white floor tiles can confuse walking by looking like positive and negative space.

On the other side of the coin, splashes of color can serve a purpose in direction and learning, such as a large orange dot put on the drawer where supplies go, and the same orange dot listed on a chart telling the student that is where supplies go.
