Kuala Lumpur, 6 May 2024 – In conjunction with this year’s Mother’s Day, Nippon Paint Malaysia Sdn Bhd (“Nippon Paint”) delved into the transformative power of colours, recognising the ability to create nurturing environments that promote emotional balance and wellness for both mothers and children alike.
In the years following the pandemic, people have increasingly prioritised their mental well being and sought to create safe havens, particularly within their homes. Research has also highlighted the psychological and direct impact of colours on human mood and behaviour1, further reinforcing the significance of mindful colour choices. Nippon Paint maintains its dedication to this year’s theme of Colour Trends2, inspiring individuals to embrace a lifestyle where they can live better, feel better, and ultimately become better versions of themselves.
Creating a better environment for postpartum mothers
Nippon Paint shed light on postpartum depression in Malaysia, noting the importance of creating a nurturing and soothing environment for mothers during this critical period. Postpartum depression unfortunately affects about 3.9% to 22.8% of Malaysian women, and globally, up to 40 million women each year and almost within the first year after childbirth3. The environment in which a mother recovers postpartum greatly influences her ability to bond with her baby. “As much are we know colours can impact our psychology, we would like to show all mothers how we can use colours to make you feel better and live better, ultimately turn your living space into a haven for the baby and especially for you,” Jo-Lynn Yap, Senior Manager of Group Colour Leadership & Strategic Marketing at NIPSEA.


Presented by Jo-Lynn Yap, the slides above show that colours have different psychological effects, all of which could really play a role in the mother’s mental well-being up to the children’s growth.
