A small study of how red and blue rooms affect women's brain activity, heart measures, mood and hormones. The red room raised pulse, oxygen saturation, cortisol and tension-related moods and increased high-beta activity at the back of the head; the blue room was linked with depression and fatigue moods and frontal high beta.
