BMAT 2009 · Question 14 · Assumption
SaveA Welsh police station has incorporated 'colour psychology' into the design of its cells with the intention of improving the success of interrogation. As well as glass doors thought to reduce claustrophobia, a particular shade of yellow has been used which is said by psychologists to have a positive, calming, mood enhancing effect. Similarly royal blue has been used, as evidence suggests that it enhances communication.
What assumption underlies the police's decision to use this colour scheme?
