The Pink Theory: How Colors Affect Our Subconscious Every day
Blood is boiling all over your body and the breathing of the person next to you is so fucking loud.
“Why are you mad?”
this question will make you even more irritated, so angry that your eyes will start twitching, and then your pressed lips will explode in a scream, you shout, blame, offend even curse, you can pack your things and leave or slam the door of your room, but after a couple of minutes seated with your thoughts you will ask yourself
Why was I mad about it?
The weather was nice, the food was delicious, and it was an average day at school, you will try to question everything but no matter how many laps you give to the same thoughts the cause of these negative emotions never comes to your mind. Without our knowledge or consent our environment is shaping our thoughts and actions in countless ways throughout every second of our lives, subtly affecting our emotions like angriness which is the most volatile and difficult to control out of all, there’s millions of people because of the lack of understatement to their own emotions such as this rage submit to their reactions and end up doing terrible things, thing they clearly would not have done if they were conscious and “sober” of their emotional state.
Some people will just throw a pillow, but the anger of others is so volatile that can lead them to spill blood and commit crimes that put them in orange suits and behind bars, how do we calm people who have gone this far in life?
Easy, put them in a pink room, specifically a miller-baker pink.
Baker-Miller Pink, also known as P-618, Drunk Tank-Pink, or Schauss pink is a tone of pink that has been noticed to temporarily reduce aggressive or violent behavior, employed in hospitals, psychiatric institutions, professional athlete’s locker rooms, and jails. The “drunk tank” was developed in the ’70s by research scientist Alexander Schauss, who’d been studying human responses to colors.
He convinced Baker and Miller, directors at a Naval academy, to experiment using the color pink in a correctional facility, According to Schauss himself, “The phenomenon affects the endocrine system, causing a tranquilizing effect on the muscle system,” he assures “The effect can not be controlled by conscious or unconscious effort.”
So Baker and Miller gave their permission to paint a holding cell at their facility pink, and once new patients were exposed to the color, they were less aggressive and hostile. Baker-Miller pink is now the color that scientifically has the power to calm people and is still used nowadays in prisons and police custody facilities.
A cute little pink can consume the heads of the worst people on earth and you are expecting the things you eat, feel, and see not to affect your life? I invite you to disrupt the variables of your daily day, identify the factors that are changing your reality, and maybe ask yourself
What are the colors of the walls I’m living inside?
