I like pure red light (#FF0000) because its relaxing and lessens visual information overload

Baker-Miller pink is also interesting, was proposed to reduce violence and promote calmness in prison. Also very relaxing

    Hmm…

    I would assume then that the effect is somehow tied in with the fact that the light is diffused and relatively dim, since it’s simply a fact that the blues and greens are the colors that pop. Possibly there isn’t enough light to show up orange or red - effectively, everything is sort of in shadow?

    And by contrast, as I write this, it’s very smoky where I am, and yes - the light is notably orange. And I’ve noticed before that when it’s like this, shadows have an obvious blue tint.
