RE: The Psychology of Colours (Part 1) - Introduction
I've heard that pastels, especially pink, painted on walls had a huge calming effect on prison inmates when tested.

Yes, that's true. Pastels are usually calming, for example a lot of surgery rooms are painted pastel green, which is also calming.
Pink is interesting, because if there is a lot of red in it, then it gives energy rather than takes it away. but there is a shade of it with a little blue and a lot of white that has a calming effect.
Sounds like a fuschia but with white, leaning toward purple almost. Interesting
Yes, one of the interesting things about colours that you can mix cold and warm shades from the very same colour. Eg. orange or yellow that are considered to be "warm" colours can also have cold shades. Amazing, really.
