Also, the importance of the use of the appropriate and preferred colors in the environments has been explored. For the study, two urban private schools with different color scheme applications in Ankara have been chosen and examined according to the objectives. The two chosen schools are the ODTÜ Geliştirme Vakfı İlköğretim Okulu and Özel Bilkent İlköğretim Okulu. Depending on the outcomes of the results, comparisons between the subjects of the two chosen schools have been done, the reasons for differences in the preferences have been discussed and suggestions for color applications in the school environments have been done.

The effects of achromatic and chromatic color schemes on participants' task performance in and appraisals of an office environment
(Wiley Periodicals, 2012-10) Öztürk, E.; Yilmazer, S.; Ural, S. E.
This study explores the effects of chroma on participants' performance and environmental appraisal of an office. The research was conducted in a full-scale experimental room designed as a private office where achromatic and chromatic color schemes with coequal values were applied. Sixty participants were assigned tasks and given a questionnaire to appraise the spatial color schemes. The findings show that chroma significantly affects performance and space appraisal. In terms of accuracy and time spent performance scores measured significantly better in the room with the chromatic scheme than those in the room with the achromatic scheme. The office with the chromatic scheme was found to be more pleasant, attractive, satisfying and dynamic than the one with the achromatic scheme, whereas the achromatic scheme was thought to be more formal and harmonious. Categorization of pleasantness, harmony, dynamism and spaciousness by factor analysis also showed differences between the achromatic and chromatic schemes.
