Facts about colors!

I got this book 'Decorating Walls and Floors' from the bargain shelf at barnes & noble today and it had a interesting section on the feelings of colors. Each Family had a fast fact and these are them!

Red: a red room stimulates appetite

Orange: Orange rooms tend to make people tire more easily

Yellow: Babies tend to cry more and children more argumentive in yellow nurseries than in pink baby blue or pale green.

Green: Green is less tiring to the eyes, which is the reason accountants' shades and surgeons' traditional scrubs are green

Blue: People associate stability and leadership with the color blue; important documents are often bound in blue.

Violet: In medieval times only royalty was allowed to wear purple.

I read or heard somewhere that blue rooms helped you relax more, so we did our bedrooms in washington in a really soft blue. Veb's cousin has his dining room done in a wine colored red that was sponged with texture. Awesome.

a study on 20/20 years ago showed that in hospitals, those who were in blue rooms were less anxious and irrated. more relaxed and calm.

Those with the same problems ect as the other people in the test, were placed in red rooms and found that they were more irratible, they had hard time sleeping, and felt pain more often.

flippin weird isnt it?

i grew up in a yellow house with blue bedroom walls. my current bedroom is half yellow half blue sponge.

my computer room is really ghetto with fucking flower wallpaper on the vaulted and ceiling parts, with pinewood lining the lower half.

What if I paint my house like a CSI crime scene with arterial spray at 25-45 degree angels every where, some extra splatter thrown in for good measure, and then have UV lamps on instead of normal lighting so I can see all the trace evidence like hairs and such everywhere?

Would that be considering soothing? or tiring?

Pros, I think you may have created a fear-inducing room.

I wonder if this holds true for colorblind people...I can never tell what a color is...would my brain process it the same?
