Baker-Miller Pink, also known as P-618 or Schauss Pink, is a unique shade of pink that has been scientifically studied for its remarkable ability to temporarily reduce hostile, violent, or aggressive behavior. It was originally created by mixing white indoor latex paint with red trim semi-gloss outdoor paint in a 1:8 ratio by volume.
History
In the late 1960s, Alexander Schauss conducted extensive research on psychological and physiological responses to this specific shade of pink. The color was named after the directors of the Naval Correctional Facility in Seattle, Baker and Miller, where groundbreaking studies were conducted in 1979.
Scientific Studies
Schauss discovered that this particular shade of pink had profound effects on the human body:
- Lowered heart rate and pulse
- Reduced aggressive behavior
- Decreased respiratory rates
- Showed calming effects within 15 minutes of exposure
Effects and Applications
While some studies have shown conflicting results, Baker-Miller Pink remains a fascinating example of color psychology in action. The color has been used in various settings where reducing aggressive behavior is desired, though its effectiveness may vary depending on the context and individual responses.
Today, this historically significant color continues to intrigue designers and researchers alike, serving as a reminder of the complex relationship between color and human behavior.
