For the first group, the room was painted white; for the second, dark brown. The movement of each group was followed by an electric system hidden under the carpet. Tie experiment showed that those who entered the dark brown room walked more quickly, covered more area, and spent less time in the room than the people in the white environment. Dark brown stimulated(刺激)more activity, but the activity ended sooner. Not only the choice of colors but also the appearance (外表) of a room has effect on those inside it.

One group was in an uglyroom that seemed to be a messy (零乱的) storeroom. Another group was in a common room an of- fice. The third group was in a beautiful living room. Results showed that the subjects in the beautiful loom ap- peared to give higher ratings (评价) to the faces than those in the ugly room did.Other studies suggest that students do better at tests taken in comfortable rooms than in ordinary-looking or ugly rooms. 1.
