    Blue walls can help people feel calm while dark blue can make them feel sad or depressed. A psychologist recommends avoiding yellow rooms as that color seems to stimulate the nervous system and cause babies to cry more and people to lose their temper more easily. An office manager always paints the walls in offices light green as research has shown it helps people feel relaxed and read better.
