　　At the University of Kansas art museum, scientists tested the effect of different colored walls ontwo groups of visitors to an exhibit of paintings. For the first group the room was painted white; forthe second, dark brown. Movement of each group was follo, w~ed by an electrical equipment under thecarpet. The experiment showed that those who entered the dark brown room walked more quickly,covered more area, and spent less time in the room than people in the white one. Dark brown madepeople more active,but the activity ended sooner. Not only the choice of colors but also the generalappearance of a room affects those inside. Another experiment presented people with photographs offaces whose energy was to be commented. Three groups of people were used; each was shown thesame photos, but each group was in an ordinary room--a nice office. The third was in a tastefully de-signed living room with carpeting. Results showed that the people in the beautiful room tend to givehigher marks to the faces than those in the ugly room did. Other studies suggest that students do bet-ter on tests taken in comfortable rooms than in ordinary-looking or ugly ones.
