I Always Wondered About That Green Color

Why So Many Control Rooms Were Seafoam Green over at a designer's substack.

Not just control rooms either!  Accelerator vaults were full of this color.  So were many printing presses.  And metal bookcases.  Couldn't get away from that stuff.  So what color do I paint my place's interior?  "Wind Song," a very light seafoam green.  What color do I paint my place's exterior?  A similar light gray-green "Sea Glass."

OK, at least it is sort of calming.  I also note that I picked none of these colors, relying instead upon various female influences around me.  Only however after I mock-threatened to paint the place a nice 70's goldenrod yellow when they wouldn't step up and advise.  Had to motivate them somehow.

Maybe they're all trying to tell me to cALm tHe F! dOwn!
