Have you heard of the pink prisons trend?
In the 70s, it was believed that immersion in rooms painted a specific shade of pink could calm aggression.

Well, after the news of pink prisons spread, colleges started painting their visitors locker rooms with the goal of taming their rivals.
And now that's got me obsessing over rooms designed for psychological warfare💀
