"Baker Miller Pink, technically known as P-618, has been scientifically shown to reduce levels of aggression and promote calm. The effects of Baker Miller Pink were first discovered in 1979 by the psychologist Dr Alexander Schauss. Dr Schauss claimed that the colour, produced by mixing semi-gloss red trim paint and pure white indoor latex paint, acted as a 'non-drug anaesthetic'."
"These remarkable effects have led to the colour being used everywhere from hospital waiting rooms to prison cells - hence the nickname 'Drunk-Tank Pink'. Dr Jackson says: 'It's highly relaxing. It lowers heart rate, it calms breathing, and it even reduces appetite in some people.' Starting in the late 1960s, Dr Schauss began experimenting with how colour perception could affect human biology. Dr Schauss believed that looking at certain shades would not only affect our psychology, but also alter the body's physiological states."
"To prove this, Dr Schauss recruited 153 men and had them look at different coloured sheets of cardboard and raise their arms while researchers restrained them. Then, Dr Schauss and his colleagues measured the grip strength of a smaller group of men while they looked at different colours. These studies suggested that looking at the colour Baker Miller Pink significantly reduced men's strength."
Colour affects emotions: warmer tones can boost mood while red can induce rage. Baker Miller Pink (P-618) reduces aggression and promotes calm by lowering heart rate, calming breathing, and sometimes reducing appetite. The shade was identified by psychologist Dr Alexander Schauss in 1979 and created by mixing semi-gloss red trim paint with pure white indoor latex. The colour was applied in hospital waiting rooms and prison cells and earned the nickname 'Drunk-Tank Pink.' Experiments had participants view coloured cardboard and showed significantly reduced grip strength and fewer incidents in painted correctional facilities.
