breathing stops and carries on ringing until the door is opened Designers and psychologists have worked for years on colour Blue is said to suggest trust efficiency duty logic coolness thinking and calm It also suggests coldness and unfriendliness It is thought that strong blues will stimulate clear thought and lighter soft colours will calm the mind and aid concentration Yellow is linked with

specializes in the effects of colour said that colour was an energy force She said Blue does enhance communication but I am not sure it would enhance truthful communication Yellow she said affected the mind Red on the other hand should never be considered because it could increase aggression Mrs Collins praised the designers for using colours in the cells Gwent is not the first British force to
