Aims & Objectives:• 1. What is empirically known about human response to color and how, if at all, color influences
human perception or behavior in a specific setting?
• 2. Which color design guidelines for healthcare environments, if any, have been supported by scientific research findings?
• 3. Does color have any effect on human health and psychology?

Observations / Results:
1) What is empirically known about human response to color and how, if at all, color influences human perception or behavior in a specific setting?• The simple answer is: we know very few about human response to color because of
our physiological and psychological profiles and also by cultures, places and activities.
2) Which color design guidelines for healthcare environments, if any, have been supported by scientific research findings?The answer is: hardly any.• Clearly, there are no reliable explanatory theories in this field. The answers may
disappoint many, particularly practitioners in the healthcare design community because of the expectations to identify theories, which could have had “supportable design implications for the use of color in healthcare design”.color in

• Analogous theories in color studies could, perhaps, predict how color might influence people in healthcare settings. But this class of theories is almost nonexistent in this field.
• Much of the knowledge about the implications of color in healthcare environments is based on highly biased observations, and pseudo-scientific assertions.
3) Does color have any effect on human health and psychology?
• Answer is yes color do have influence on human health and psychology.

Properties of color and Human response to it:
• Colors Possess arousing or calming properties
• Colors Have Advancing or Receding Properties
• Colors Affect the Sense of Spaciousness
• Colors Affect the Psychophysical Judgment of Time Passage
• Colors Affect Thermal Comfort

• Some methods of color healing for high blood pressure, low blood pressure, allergies, depression, cancer, and other ailments to restore proper balance:
(1) Color intake through foods
(2) Irradiation with the inherent color
(3) Color intake through drinking (color irradiated water)
(4) Bathing in colored water
(5) Sunbathing in color
(6) Irradiation with color (specific parts of the body)
(7) Visualizing color (breathing exercises coupled with the visualization of color in sequence of the rainbow colors)
(8) Breathing color (a visualized color is inhaled and exhaled)
(9) Color meditation

Use of Color In Hospitals :
Relaxed, renewal, freshness, reduce allergic responses.
Can ease tremors, twitching, and muscle spasms
Purity, cleanliness, birth.Was documented by Arab
physician Avicenna as an indicator of spleen disorder based on
whitening of skin color

Related Works:
Evidence Based Designers (EBD) are practitioners employ credible data and research to influence design decisions.
In the 1990s, the Center for Health Design, a non-profit organization, was committed to advancing design in healthcare settings to improve patient outcomes. They launched the Pebble Project in 2000 to encourage the adoption of stricter research methodology, data collection and collaboration for healthcare designers.
Color in Healthcare Environments: This color study was funded by the Coalition for Health Environments Research (CHER, now known as The Center for Health Design [CHD] CHER) in 2002-2003, and written by Ruth Brent Tofle, PhD; Benyamin Schwarz, PhD; So-Yeon Yoon, MA; and Andrea Max-Royale, MEDes.

Discussion/ Conclusion:
• In conclusion , first, we discuss about the use of color in healthcare settings currently is not based on significant research. It is based on highly biased observations, and pseudo-scientific assertions.
• If we want to have evidence-based guidelines, we need to understand what particular colors are supposed to do, and why, before we can proceed to implement them in a healthcare setting and before we can judge whether thesecolors do it well.
Future Work:
• The future work will be creation of interactive interface which helps in changing the color of the room and also dress color of doctors according to health condition of patient.
