Artifactual Communication: Color

According to EducationLife, citing design professionals: bad choices for study areas are blue (too calming) and red (too stimulating). Beige or white or some other neutral shade seems to be the preferred choice; it allows students to focus on work rather than the color of the walls. It would be interesting to see if students could recall the colors of their college library and perhaps a variety of other spaces at home, at work, or on campus.
