"Also believed to help with fertility this is a great choice for the bedroom."Can someone please explain to me how Green is supposed to help with fertility? This seems to be a bit bizarre to me.

The psychology of color is imprecise at best, and pseudo-science at worst. How could you do a competent double-blind study?One thing we do know, as a matter of fact, is that that psychological perception of color changes over time. In other words, what you think is a great color today, you will think is a boring (or atrocious) color a few years from now. Color TRENDS dictated by the design and fashion industries are a much better guide for color selection.

1. It's blog spam. 2. The article is riddled with inconsistencies and contradictions without explanation. Buried as inaccurate.Great example of why blogger =/= journalist.

I've read the same. The most soothing colour is actually a light pink -- hence it's used in so many psych wards and drunk tanks.

The top 2/3rds of my living room walls are painted a very muted, neutral shade of yellow, and the bottom 1/3rd is a light brown. The colors are separated by a thin, white chair rail. It looks good. No headaches or anxiety.

My mom decided our hallway needed to be pink to match the wood floor she uncovered. It's not too bad, kinda a dusky rose. Mostly it just makes me feel weird.(my bedroom has this crazy green wallpaper, it's like robin hood is out hunting panthers and there's minstrels all scared of the panther. Crazy)
