Spatch81, An opinion is individualistic and based on a question. The fact is that after countless scientific experiments on this subject, the color blue does have a calming effect. This is not about anyone's opinion.

Pink is thought to have a calming effect. One shade known as "drunk-tank pink" is sometimes used in prisons to calm inmates. While pink's calming effect has been demonstrated, researchers of color psychology have found that this effect only occurs during the initial exposure to the color.

Interesting! I would have chosen green, if it had been listed. I suppose more people actual would choose blue as their favorite, so would be more influenced by it.

Pink the answer, it's used in psychiatric hospitals and maternity rooms. It's a proven fact pink has a calming effect on people who are agitated. Look it up. I took a course on color theory and psychology.

FaithfulReader, I chose blue because they just did an episode about this on "Grey's Anatomy ". The explanation they gave made sense to me.

Unless you're a nocturnal mammal, I thought blue light wavelengths inhibit melatonin production and make you more alert. At least that's what I've heard the scientific consensus is... Somewhat confusing question?

azkubaisi, yes, I think that's why many surgery settings in hospitals are in green (scrubs, walls etc), as it is considered to be calming.
