The colours

A closed palette, on purpose

In the settings, the background colour isn't chosen from every colour: it's chosen from a palette of five, made for each music box. We do it this way because, without meaning to, it's easy to pick a colour that isn't suitable: a pretty blue, a clean white, a flashy colour. With the palette, any colour you choose is a good colour for the child.

For babies and toddlers

Backgrounds are always dark and warm: reds, oranges, ochres, browns and dark yellows.

• Warm and dark, because warm, dim light helps to calm down and sleep.
• Never white: it dazzles, especially at night with the lights off.
• Never blue, not even dark blue: blue light is the one that keeps us awake the most.

For older children

Each music box uses its app's colours, because the child no longer uses it to fall asleep.

Always

The picture stands out enough from the background, whatever colour you choose, so the child can see it well.

The rules for how the music boxes look are in the Visual Seal.
