Reply to comment by Rpanich in Positive childhood experiences of blue spaces and adult well-being. Individuals who recalled more childhood blue space experiences tended to place greater intrinsic value on natural settings, visiting them as adults – which increases better mental wellbeing by Wagamaga

i don't know what you're on about. this study isn't about the color blue. it's about water. maybe read the article just a bit

I know, I’m just trying to explain how colour theory is used; for example when we learned about green spaces, and we decided to paint a bunch of hospitals green and have doctors wear green scrubs, and we found that the benefits carry over.

I’m just trying to venture a guess that perhaps, in the same way the colour “green” might be connected with “green spaces”, the colour “blue” might have the same benefits, as “blue spaces” effects sound very similar to “green space” benefits, and I was only offering a evolutionary hypothesis as to why.
