Abstract	This study explores how background colour can help in improving mood and attention span especially in students who lack the ability to stay focused for longer durations. In a world full of distractions and attention deficit disorders like ADHD, visual environments play a vital role in cognitive performance. This experiment investigates whether coloured backgrounds, compared to plain and neutral ones, can positively affect mood and focus. Participants were asked to sit in rooms of distinct colours and perform attention-based tasks. Based on this, results were obtained which stated that the students who were seated in the colourful rooms showed sustained focus and higher engagement than the ones in the plain rooms.
