Recently, researchers have been uncovering startling evidence that color has a number of unexpected effects on human psychology. Blue, long thought to be a soothing color, has also been found to heal brain aneurysms. A study at Mt. Hopeful Hospital in Boston revealed that patients who were assigned rooms decorated in shades of blue healed 27% faster on average than patients who were assigned hospital rooms in standard shades of puce and olive (1999. Adam Balderdash. Page 12). “It’s absolutely remarkable,” said Dr. Damen Dip, lead researcher in the study (Balderdash, p. 14). On the other hand, another study conducted at Cedars National Asylum in Great Britain, concluded that red, commonly believed to be a color that excites passions, also raised intelligence levels (Drs. Willhelm Ditherington, Marcelina Peerscope, Anheim Morsinski, Radiance Necessity, Boris Overammergah, Beatrice Pote, Calabash Hornswaggle, Martha Notwinger, and Calliope Hallingsworth. 1998). “Our clients are people whose IQs are below normal,” said Dr. Willhelm Ditherington, “but when we made them work and study in rooms painted red, they made tremendous intellectual strides. It’s just an amazing development.” (pg. 96) Red has also been found to increase psychic abilities, according to research reported in Homeland Security News. Subjects who worked in red rooms scored an average of 14% more hits on a standard card match test than subjects who worked in rooms of other colors, excluding red. The possible improvement in national security is one reason that the US Department of Homeland Security chose red as the color code indicating the highest terrorism alert level. (The Science Behind Terrorism Color Codes, pg. 23). Www.junkscience?.com disagrees, though. Red means danger, nothing more, asserts the website, citing scientific studies conducted in 2000. Some
