It is hardly a secret anymore that human behavior is greatly influenced by colours. Scientific studies have shown that our emotions and mood are affected when we are surrounded by particular colors. Some make us more aggressive, while others have a calming effect on us. From psychologists to interior designers, everyone seems fascinated with the phenomenon.

It is not surprising then that when it comes to paints, specialists are extremely careful to make the right choice. Since their ideas come as colors do, in a wide variety, ultimately all they have to consider is the suitability of their vision. For example, a hospital room would not be painted in the same shades as the living room of a private residence. Patients would find it difficult to cope with walls painted red instead of the usual white, green, or blue.

We can all come into contact, in one way or another, with the awesome and intimidating places that are hospitals. Whether as patients or visitors, we are certainly overwhelmed by your presence. But, once inside, hospitals have this enormous power to convey a sense of calm and peace. How do they manage to do that? It’s easy to find the answer just by taking a quick look at the walls and noticing the colors in which they are painted.

Hospital walls are often covered in colors like white, green, and blue. There is an explanation behind these choices and it has to do with the psychological effects that these colors have.

White is the most common color seen on a hospital wall. And that’s because of the peaceful and calm mood it provides. Another reason to choose it is the fact that it denotes cleanliness. It implies sterility, which has the effect of making patients feel calm. This is also the reason why doctors and nurses wear white uniforms.

Blue and green are considered the most relaxing and refreshing colors, as they promote a calm environment that encourages concentration. Designers, psychologists, and feng-shui experts all tend to find shades of blue and green to make us feel calmer, more balanced, and less emotional. Because green has a calming effect on our nerves, hospital waiting rooms and even psychiatric wards are painted green. And surgeons wear green scrubs for the same reason. As for blue, it has often been noted that children in pain are put into hospital rooms painted light blue because of the healing effect it conveys.

When entering a hospital, the general atmosphere should make us feel calm and calm. Before knowing anything about the professionalism of the staff, our worried gaze will look for visible signs that we will be well taken. And the walls of the hospital, whether they are white, green or blue, are our first impression.
