What color of a room makes babies cry and tempers flare?
Yellow is a bright, sunny color promoting feelings of happiness. It's great for brightening a dim room. However, bold yellows are associated with increased intellectual and muscle activity and if over used can be disturbing - babies have been found to cry more in yellow rooms.
Therefore, bold yellows should be kept to a minimum and used only as an accent color to add sparkle to your nursery design. Soft yellows are calming, however, and are a lovely sunny choice for your baby nursery.

Then why is the kid pictured in a blue room crying? And, I ask, according to who?

So "yellow" is NOT a correct answer

Yellow is too bright for the eyes. I thought the room looked pink.

Can't imagine having any bold colours for a baby's room, shouldn't even be considered, that's why they are soft pink's, blue's, yellow's, green's. Wonder where they got this info from, who or what baby did their ask? We seem to be getting some "strange" questions lately.

But the baby is in a blue room.

Yellow seems more mellow, as in the sun.
Babies don't like the dark or being alone.

Pink is the closest to red and so could have the same effect. Who would paint a room for a baby in very bright yellow?

What is the point of "trivia" if they give away the answer with a picture? If the picture is of a blue room, it is not necessarily the correct answer. Use your best intelligence to decide if that is a give a way or a brain teaser. Obviously, Carlos Cruz you got it wrong.

I bet that hasn't been replicated

There is no source referenced as to who did the study or the criterion used.

Maybe that's why, cabs in NYC are yellow.
Bob Gorby
Yellow?! You thought This’d Stump ME?!
Rafi Manory
The source makes it sound very doubtful.

Pink is best in psych wards

I knew it wasn't green, hospitals were painted green as it was considered a more calming,relaxing colour, the interior of babies prams were also green for the same reason. Blue is considered cold so it was either pink or yellow, I opted for the latter.
