“…In previous color studies regarding learning spaces, yellow and blue were proposed to be suitable colors for educational environments, and therefore provided a basis for the present experiment. Other studies have argued that warm colors, such as red, are appropriate for highly active learning areas because they can stimulate communication among students and increase interaction . However, previous studies did not identify which of the numerous yellows, blues and reds are appropriate.…”

In this study, six colors (vivid red, vivid blue, vivid yellow, pale red, pale blue, and pale yellow†) were manipulated in a simulated study environment to determine their effects on university students' learning performance, emotions, and heart rate. It was hypothesized that learning, physiological and emotional states would be affected by different colors in private study spaces. A total of 24 undergraduate and postgraduate students participated in this study. The dependent variables were reading task performance, emotional responses, and changes in heart rate. The results showed that, although participants assessed the situation as relaxed, calm, and pleasant in the pale color conditions, reading scores were significantly higher in the vivid color conditions. Heart rates were significantly affected by hue; they increased in the red and yellow conditions. In addition, the results suggested that, regardless of the degree of whiteness, the hue had a significant impact on participants' emotions; blue increased relaxation and calmness feelings of participants compared to the other colors. Implications of these findings and suggestions for further research are discussed. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Col Res Appl, 41, 196–205, 2016

“…Therefore, it can affect the impression of the professionalism of the environment . Furthermore, white has been widely associated with the medical profession (Kaya & Crosby, 2006). This suggests that creating beautiful and intimate rooms may not necessarily be effective and that white walls may generate beneficial effects.…”

“…He explains that excessive colorfulness can be quickly unmasked as being cosmetic and without professional substance. Moreover, white remains the most commonly used color in healthcare facilities, and it is highly associated with these facilities (Kaya & Crosby, 2006). This study will test the hypothesis that participants in the white counseling room will disclose more information about themselves than those in the green room.…”
