Lilac Tinted Exercise Books

Lilac-tinted paper offers a gentle, calming background that many pupils find easier to engage with than bright white pages. For children with Dyslexia, Irlen Syndrome, visual stress, or other Special Educational Needs (SEN), the high contrast of white paper can feel overwhelming, making reading and writing more tiring than they should be. Lilac provides a soft, balanced tone that reduces glare and helps text feel more stable on the page.

Because visual stress affects children differently, lilac is often a helpful “middle ground” colour, neither too warm nor too cool. Many pupils find that lilac improves their ability to track lines of text, maintain focus, and feel more at ease during reading and writing tasks. The softer contrast can support better fluency, reduce fatigue, and help your pupils approach schoolwork with more confidence.
