John Sayers' Recording Studio Design Forum Archive

I believe in the power of colours. Therefore I've
been thinking a lot about what colour scheme to use
in my upcomming control room. (doing mainly
electronic stuff, this is where I'm working)

Is it a matter of personal taste or are there some
colours known to be "creative" expanders.

I've always thought that yellow was a creative colour but I'm sure there are others with better suggestions.

Jan,
The colors in your avatar go very well together...I just noticed that....blue and dark red....
what do you reckon?
It's a big avatar, otherwise ,maybe, I wouldn't have picked it....but seriously these two colors work together

Doing some research (thanks to google) I found these
statements.

Light blue promotes creativity. That is why it is recommended to decorate offices and studies. Ideally, it should be associated with yellow, which stimulates the mind and raises one's organizational capacity

Blue Promotes Solitude, Meditation, Independence, Serenity, Cooling

Yellow, therefore, is an excellent choice in decorating a room that is dedicated to intellectual pursuits.

Yellow, Motivating, Energizing, Clarity, Communication, Intellect

Red, Energy, Warmth, Strength, Will Power

Well, maybe one should use a mix of red and blue, but my personal
taste just wouldn't allow that I really like the snapper studio found
elsewhere on this site.. and effects of red aint that bad.

My wife is a teacher. They have a color scheme in rooms for children. The room used depends on the age group as well as the subject matter.

For instance, nurseries are never (should never be) painted yellow. It is a color that causes kids to stay active, wild, etc. To sooth children, they use a pale green color. It has been proven to be the easiest on the eyes.

Red as stated above is a color that promotes awareness, action, creativity.

Grey is emotional draining. It is unispiring and cold.

Lighting has something to do with it as well. Florescent lights make kids tired. In most cases it causes glare, but that is not problem. It is believed that the radiation that plays havoc in milk sold and stored in plastic jugs plays havoc on the eyes. Warm indirect lighting is better for keeping people at work longer.

What about Greens?
