Why Bailey’s Doggy Daycare Uses Blue, Yellow & Grey?
At Bailey’s Doggy Daycare, we’ve thoughtfully chosen a colour palette of blue, yellow, and grey to create an environment that’s both engaging and comforting for our canine guests. This selection is rooted in understanding how dogs perceive colours, ensuring that our daycare is tailored to their unique visual experiences.
Understanding Canine Color Vision
Unlike humans, who have three types of cone receptors in their eyes allowing them to see a full spectrum of colours, dogs possess only two. This means their colour vision is similar to red-green colour blindness in humans. Dogs primarily see shades of blue and yellow, while reds and greens appear as hues of grey or brown. This dichromatic vision influences how they interact with their surroundings.
Why Blue and Yellow?
By incorporating blue and yellow into our daycare’s design, we ensure that the colours are vibrant and distinguishable to our furry friends. These hues can stimulate their senses, promote playfulness, and create a lively atmosphere. For instance, blue-coloured toys or yellow agility equipment are more likely to capture a dog’s attention, enhancing their play experience.
The Role of Grey
Grey serves as a neutral backdrop that complements the blue and yellow accents. While dogs may perceive reds and greens as greyish tones, using actual grey in our design provides a calming effect, helping to balance the stimulating nature of blue and yellow. This combination creates a harmonious environment where dogs can feel both energised and relaxed.
Creating a Dog-Friendly Environment
Our commitment to understanding and catering to canine senses goes beyond colour selection. By designing spaces that align with how dogs see the world, we enhance their comfort and well-being. This thoughtful approach ensures that every aspect of Bailey’s Doggy Daycare is optimised and catered for our guests’ happiness.
