Goethe's deep influence led Steiner to dedicate his temples to him and so it came to pass that the 1st & 2nd Goetheanum depict many colors adorning the ceilings, and walls of the Goetheanum depicting dynamic and unique imagery based in Anthroposophy. Since then the colors and technique has made its way into classrooms in Waldorf school communities all over the world. The Lazure method, as indicated by Steiner, is of support to the curriculum. Steiner designed the color scheme of the classrooms to work with the developmental stages of the children. From the rainbow tones of early childhood, to warm reddish tones in 1st grade, light and luminous tones of violet to lavender in the upper grades he stated that this sort of atmospheric effect in color which appears to "breathe" creates nurturing intervals between what he described as the etheric (subtle life force) and astral (emotional) bodies of the human being. In this view the children perceive the colors movement, which strengthens their young soul and initiates a balanced, regenerative, & healing response.

​The luminous, transparent quality of Lazure painting is created with glazes brushed on in layers of color. Lazuring is almost as if one is painting with light as a pigment.  The perception of this light and color moves down the central nervous system and back to the brain in a most welcoming way. Such color benefits adults equally well and all homes and workplaces can be enhanced in this way.Each building and room has its own interplay of light which filters into the interior, and this is the first quality to incorporate as I design the color-play I will work with. Of equal importance is an understanding of what the space will be used for. With interior design, it is known that color effects behavior and that a color scheme for a room can either enhance or detract from how one experiences themselves in that space.​
