Baker-Miller Pink Color 46 - #FF91AF

Baker-Miller Pink is a tone of pink that was originally created by mixing one gallon of pure white indoor latex paint with one pint of red trim semi-gloss outdoor paint. The color has the following RGB code: R:255, G:145, B: 175. It is named for the two US Navy officers who first experimented with its use in the Naval Correctional Facility in Seattle, Washington at the behest of researcher Alexander Schauss. The color is also known as Schauss pink, after Alexander Schauss's extensive research into the effects of the color on emotions and hormones, as well as P-618 and Drunk-Tank Pink

In the late 1960s, Alexander Schauss did studies on psychological and physiological responses to the color pink. Schauss had read studies that color preferences provided clues about one's personality.

At the correctional facility, the rates of assault before and after the interior was painted pink were monitored. According to the Navy's report, "Since the initiation of this procedure on 1 March 1979, there have been no incidents of erratic or hostile behavior during the initial phase of confinement."
