We are very busy trying to choose the right colors. In order to give the hospitals a sense of hygiene and hygiene, Bazaar is painted in pink because the prisons are believed to reduce aggression.
These features attributed to colors belong to Western cultures. Do the colors really have any effect on behavior?
Research in this area is complex and sometimes conflicting. The red color most commonly studied is usually compared to blue and green. The following theory is put forward: If you are doing any work you are doing in a certain color environment, you will eventually associate that color with a certain feeling or behavior.
For example, the red color your teacher makes throughout your school life will always cause you to associate red with danger. The fact that the poisonous fruit is mostly red also strengthens this perception. Blue, on the other hand, evokes a quieter situation because the sea is associated with a dip in the sea or a vast view of the sky.
The color of your creativity is blue
After many past and complex experiments, researchers from British Columbia University in 2009 sought to find an answer to this question. The subjects were subjected to various skill tests by giving computers with blue, red and "neutral" color screens.
On the red screen computer it was seen that the subjects had better memory and correction readings, the blue screens had better results in the skills that required creativity, but they needed better results. The researchers had the conclusion that red had given the message of "avoidance" and led the subjects to be more careful, while the blue had the opposite effect, pushing it to think more freely.
From here it is suggested that chambers such as laboratories or schools should carry out the studies which require measures and avoidance, and that the chambers which are used for the studies which require creativity can paint the blue.
Warning, passion?
But in a similar study with a wider group in 2014, it was seen that the effect of colors was left behind. While 69 people were in the first survey, 263 new subjects were used and it was seen that the background color did not make a difference.
In another study, the subjects were presented with crackers on two different plates and they were told they could eat as much as they wanted to answer questions about the taste. The subjects ate less of the crackers served on the red plate, and this was attributed to the red alert message and the hazard message feature. However, when the same experiment was repeated at another university, the opposite results were obtained.
Pink wards
It's actually more difficult to imagine the effect of the colors than you think. Maybe the colors do not create the effects we attribute to them. But the effect of the colors is so intentional that some prisons in the United States, Great Britain, Switzerland, Germany, Poland and Austria are struggling in a certain tone of pink. At least one pink cell is found in 20 percent of Swiss prisons. The official name is Baker-Miller's pink, which can also be called pelte pink. The first investigators of the influence of Pembenin on prisoners and convictions were the two American naval officers who gave the name of the renegade.
Experiments on the detainees in 1979 showed that the prisoners were suppressed by the pink and blue cards, pressed by their arms, and the pink card was less depressed. This non-scientific research has been repeated in different forms, but the evidence to reinforce the belief that pygmy is an aggression-reducing effect has not been reached. In fact, the colors did not make any difference.
In fact, there are some who argue that the prevalence of pembenium, which is normally a woman's color, can create a sense of embitterment in detention.
Maybe the colors really affect the behavior. But to date, no one has been able to prove this effect consistently. Maybe the colors do not make any difference. There is a need for better experiments to set a definite point in this regard. Until the influence or effectiveness of the colors is proved, the choice of color in our rooms will continue to remain a matter of personal appreciation and understanding of art.
