Abstract	Colour can influence attention span because it affects focus and engagement differently.According to research, colour can improve memory function and increase the memorability of knowledge.While no colour can be uninspired, too many vivid hues might lead to overstimulation.Neutral tones and a balanced use of colour are thought to be the most beneficial for learning.The impact of background colour on attention span is investigated in this study.Using random sampling, a sample of thirty students between the ages of sixteen and eighteen was chosen.A self-made Yes/No survey measuring focus, attentiveness, and distraction under various background colour circumstances was used to gather data.The majority of pupils reported increased motivation and concentrate when faced with colourful backgrounds, according to the findings.Excessive colour caused some kids to become distracted.According to the study, using colour sparingly can improve attention span.
