    Dr. Alexander Schauss, Ph.D., director of the American Institute for Biosocial Research in Tacoma Washington, reported that when prison cells were painted pink, it reduced aggressive behavior among prisoners. “Even if a person tries to be angry or aggressive in the presence of pink, he can't. The heart muscles can’t race fast enough. It’s a tranquilizing color that saps your energy. Whereas: Orange is a warm color because it is the marriage of red and yellow, and it's considered a happy and lively color and is associated with joy and sunshine. It has a luminous, glowing quality that captures our attention. Orange represents enthusiasm, fascination, happiness, creativity, determination, attraction, success, encouragement and stimulation. also: Orange has a declassifying, broad appeal. It can be used to indicate that a product is suitable for everyone, and can make an expensive product seem more affordable. It has a high visibility, so it is used to catch attention and it is very effective for promoting food products and toys. Of course, one can always find justification for a completely random choice made by someone else and think that there was an actual reason for it. ;P Link[^], BTW.

                      Back in High School we had a Pink Room. If you were disruptive or violent you were sent there for a period of time to have your brain rewrired by the walls. It was a little weird. cheers, Chris Maunder

                                  A sherrif in one of the southern states did that and it reduced problems in the prison and the reoffending rates. That didn't stop one or two idiots telling him off for it though :wtf: I like that guy, he came up with a low cost harmless deterrent (the pink prison outfits probably helped). The tigress is here :-D

                                    A sherrif in one of the southern states did that and it reduced problems in the prison and the reoffending rates. That didn't stop one or two idiots telling him off for it though :wtf: I like that guy, he came up with a low cost harmless deterrent (the pink prison outfits probably helped). The tigress is here :-D

                                        Maybe they should start painting prison walls in pink? :)

                                        Think ahead. They should start painting streets pink as a crime prevention. :) Never forget: "Stay kul and happy" (I.A.)

                                          "a little weird" - coming from an australocanadian: "two to the power of tenthousand to one and rising" weird.
