About
ChromaCalm - by MELab
ChromaCalm
ChromaCalm is an artist-led design research experience from MELab that invites you to explore the power of colour as a tool for emotional awareness and nervous system regulation.
Through a gentle blend of guided meditation, nervous system mapping, and personal colour articulation, ChromaCalm helps you connect with feeling states and express them through colour, in a way that’s unique to you.
Drawing on insights from psychoneuroimmunology (PNI), neuroscience, and yogic wisdom, this method weaves together mindfulness and colour-based practices shown to support emotional balance and reduce stress.
As part of the experience, you’ll be invited to choose or create your own Living Colour Artefact—a colour-changing object that becomes a visual cue and grounding presence in your daily life.
This isn’t colour theory. This is about discovering your inner language—and learning to speak it through colour.
WHAT TO EXPECT
ChromaCalm is a calming, creative experience designed to support emotional wellbeing through the intentional use of colour. Rooted in nervous system awareness and guided meditation, this practice helps you explore how different emotional states feel in the body—and how colour can help shift, soothe, and support them.
You’ll be guided through gentle breathwork, somatic awareness, and visualisation techniques to map your internal state and discover the colours that represent emotional clarity, safety, and balance for you personally.
After the session, you’ll leave with a personalised colour reference—your own guide to using colour more consciously in your daily life. Whether it’s the clothes you wear, the colours in your space, or items you surround yourself with, these intentional choices can help reinforce calm and inner alignment.
For those who feel called, you can:
-
Create your own Living Colour Artefact in a separate hands-on session using sensory, heat-reactive paint, or
-
Order a bespoke artefact painted in your intentional colours and delivered to your home.
Either way, the focus is on creating space to reconnect with yourself—through stillness, awareness, and the transformative power of workin with colour intnetionally.
FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the living paint work?
The thermochromic, sensory paint shifts its colours in response to warmth and touch, creating an ever-changing interactive experience that allows you to release or reinforce emotions visually. It’s known as “living paint” because it feels almost alive, transitioning with the environment.
Is this workshop suitable for beginners?
Yes, ChromaCalm is designed for all levels. Whether you’re new to meditation or experienced, the workshop is crafted to guide you in creating a grounding artefact that’s personal and unique.
How does colour affect emotional well-being?
Scientific research shows that colours influence the nervous system and mood. The workshop explores colour psychology, helping you choose colours that promote calm and balance.
Can I use my artefact in daily rituals?
Absolutely. The artefact can be used in home practices like breathing exercises and meditation. Techniques like 4-7-8 breathing can activate the paint’s colour transitions, symbolising emotional release and grounding.
