Colour Theory for babies
I'm reading lots of papers about the theory of colour and the use of colour to stimulate psychologically helpful frames of mind because I'm about to paint the babies room.
A colour called Baker-Miller pink is used to paint holding cells and prisons because it allegedly surpresses violent and aggressive behaviour. Young children in New Zealand showed greater physical strngth and made more positive mood paintings after spending time in pink rooms compared to blue or grey ones. A high school in America found it's children had lower blood pressure in the afternoon if they had been studying in a yellow room.
It's all fascinating, but I am still no nearer to deciding what colour the baby would like. Interestingly babies respond best to black and white geometric patterns in their first few months, because their focusing muscles in their eyes don't work brilliantly so everything is a bit fussy.
I'd paint a big geometric pattern on the wall but at about age 16 my boyfriend at the time and I did that to his bedroom, in order to facilitate the ideal background for tripping, so it would be freaky in the extreme in the babies room.
What colour do you think I should choose?
