Pratt's Walls Should be BLUE!


In a February 5th article published in the NY Times, a study conducted by the University of British Columbia on the effects of color on brain functioning was explored.  The researchers studied 600 people broken up into two groups.  Each group was given written tasks set on a background of either red or blue.  They found that the red group did better on tasks involving analytical thinking and detail oriented questions.  The blue group did better on creative thinking tasks.
