Many people say that certain colors affect your mood. Some people even carefully plan the colors they paint on the walls in their home in an attempt to create an environment that puts them in a certain mood, such as calm (purple) or energized (orange). To test this idea, Sasha visited 15 doctor’s offices. She painted the waiting rooms in 5 of them blue, she painted 5 of them red, and she painted another 5 green. Afterwards, she had the doctor’s offices give surveys to every patient after they had been in the waiting room for 10 minutes. The surveys asked the patients to circle words that represent how they are feeling. The options included: calm, distressed, energized, joyful, frustrated, content, and bored.

She tells you that this proves her hypothesis: room color does impact human mood. Correct Sasha’s conclusion.
