The University of Sussex study conducted on over 26,000 people discovered the world’s most relaxing color.
Scientists try to find the emotional responses of participants to specific colors. So research found that dark blue is the go-to shade if you’re looking for some stress relief. Calmness is most inspired by dark blues, turquoise, and pinks. While notions of the future are most often associated with shades of green.
