How colour affects Identilty of a room

"Psychologists, at the University of British Columbia, were interested in looking at how the color of interior walls influence the imagination. They recruited six hundred subjects..., and had them perform a variety of basic cognitive tests displayed against red, blue or neutral colored backgrounds.

 RED ROOM

 

The research found that the colour red made the subjects better at doing task that required "accuracy and attention to detail" the researches claimed that this happened because of our natural association of danger to the colour red 

BLUE ROOM

The researches also found that the subjects in the blue room preformed worse in the short term memory tasks, but were much greater in the creative tasks. The occupants of the blue room "generated twice as many “creative outputs” as subjects in the red condition."

There has been lots of research on how colour affects the mood of a person, and a website that shows how the various colours apparently affect the mood of the user of the room. this guide also gives advice on which colours would go in which room. Colour Psychology

I wondered if there were any technologies that would allow the user of the house to change the colours of the walls depending on the need instead of having set colours for specific functions.

This wall was designed by designer Amirkhan Abdurakhmanov (known as Amirko). Amirko has created a DIY wall that allows the user to manual create different colours which can change a space dramatically.

The wall is one big wall of turning triangles which each feature a different pattern or design on each of the faces, the future of this design could mean different textures or materials, which could change the feeling within a room.

Another system that allows the colour of a wall to change is The Barrisol Lumière Color wall. This wall system uses fixings that attach the product to an existing wall that would allow the wall clour to be changed which also changes the feeling of a room as shown below. 

 

Another option to change the colour of a room could be to use lighting or use of Polycarbonate materials, either colored polycarbonate or with clear polycarbonate in conjunction with colored LED Lighting.
