I hope this hasn't been done before (doh I miss a lot sometimes here).
Anyway, we've all heard of "Aromatherapy" before right? I tend to agree that certain fragrances affect our moods (albeit not in the hyped up way advertisors of fragrances like to make it sound like) in a subtle way. I mean, if I walk into a room that smells like trash, I'm not most likely going to be in a pleasant mood LOL. But on the other hand if I walk into a room that smells like Yankee Candles, different story (hehe, I just opened up a peach one, absolutely lovely, I love Yankee Candles!). Of course, again, it is a subtle thing, if I'm in a room with an insulting jerk, the surrounding fragrance isn't going to mellow my reaction. But it DOES make a difference. I remember last year the news was mentioning how some Subway stations were thinking about using Aromatherapy on their trains to accommodate riders, to make them feel calmer, more relaxed, and giving an effect of "this is a nice place, don't stab anyone here LOL." I'm all for that idea myself, I don't think it will hinder crime much, but it will make said ride much more pleasant no doubt [img]smile.gif[/img]
As for colors, some say that colors also affect people moods. This I'm a bit sketchy on, but in some ways I can see where they get that notion from. When I walk into a room I instantly get a "feeling". If I were to walk into a room with black painted walls, I'd probably feel suppressed. As for other colored rooms, each give me an individual feeling, but not really one I can express in words really, as it is so subtle.
So what are yall's take on it? [img]smile.gif[/img]
