Celebrating Diversity and Emotions: International Day of Colour 2024

Mark Muir • 21 March 2024

March 21 marks the International Day of Colour.

A celebration of diversity, creativity, and the profound impact of colours on our emotions and perceptions. In a world that often feels divided, this day serves as a reminder of the beauty found in embracing different hues and the emotions they evoke.


Colours have a remarkable ability to influence our mood and behaviour. For instance, warm colors like red and orange can evoke feelings of energy, passion, and warmth, while cooler tones like blue and green are often associated with calmness, tranquility, and growth. Understanding these associations can empower us to harness the power of colour in various aspects of our lives.


To observe the International Day of Colour, here are a few actions everybody can take:


Wear Vibrant Colours: Embrace the day by wearing vibrant and diverse colours to celebrate the richness of our world's cultural tapestry.


Create Artwork: Engage in creative activities such as painting, drawing, or photography, using colours to express emotions and tell stories.


Decorate Spaces: Spruce up your environment by adding colourful decorations to your home or workplace, fostering an atmosphere of positivity and inspiration.


Support Diversity Initiatives: Show solidarity with diversity and inclusion initiatives by incorporating colourful elements into events or campaigns aimed at promoting acceptance and understanding.


Educate and Share: Take the opportunity to educate others about the significance of colours in different cultures and their impact on emotions, fostering empathy and appreciation for diversity.


By coming together to celebrate the International Day of Colour, we not only honour the kaleidoscope of hues that adorn our world but also recognise the profound connections between colour, emotion, and human experience. 😁💦💦💦

Experiential and Immersive Stays: Hotels as Destinations in Themselves The hospitality industry is undergoing a profound transformation. No longer are hotels seen simply as a place to sleep while visiting a destination — they are becoming destinations in their own right. At the forefront of this shift is the rise of experiential and immersive stays , where guests are offered not just accommodation, but curated journeys that blend storytelling, culture, design, and emotion. Beyond the Room: The Rise of Experiential Hospitality Modern travellers are seeking more than comfort and convenience. They want to feel something — to be transported, surprised, and inspired. Hotels that embrace experiential design cater to this demand by creating environments that immerse guests in a narrative or theme. Whether it’s a rainforest-inspired wellness retreat, a heritage hotel that brings history to life, or a futuristic pod hotel infused with digital art, the stay itself becomes a memorable part of the travel story.
