Looks as though at one point the walls were pink? There must have been something on the wall there..

why is everything here in aqua or pink. Sickening as best. How depressing for someone who longs for sun light, green trees and blue skys.

Now-a-day hospitals use colors like these too.

I suppose its to give off a calming and soothing atmosphere... I'm in them quite frequently, and I've yet to be in a hospital with just plain white walls!

Does anyone know what the purpose was in having the two different colors on the walls? Was it just a decorating trend at the time? (I've seen walls painted like this in buildings and private homes in the Middle East even today, but I don't think it's as common in the US now as it was in the past.) Was a better quality (more expensive) paint used on the lower half of the wall that would get the most wear, and a cheaper paint on the upper half? Did they want to avoid a huge expanse of one color or create the illusion of a lower ceiling? Or maybe to be able to just repaint the lower half ? Sorry...I wonder about things like this...

visually "diluting" it with white like that is the only reason a bright color like that would be tolerable for me. I'd find it revolting/oversaturated if a room was ALL neon green or pepto bismol pink.
