Color does make a big impact on mood. Often designers choose colors based on what mood they are trying to evoke. Companies use mood testing based on color to design everything to restaurant eating areas to bathrooms. It is also used in some hospitals to calm manic oroverly aggressive patients.
I'll never forget the first time I visited a patient who was manic depressive and had gone off his medication. I walked into his room and everything was pepto-bismal pink. I mean everything. The floor, the ceiling, the blinds,
the sheets, his pajamas, everything. After about 5 minutes you began to feel that all the energy was being sucked out of your body. You can't maintain the energy to be manic or angry in that kind of enviroment. This way they don't have to restrain the patients. It's very weird though.
