According to The Guardian, the theories about the colour come from a series of experiments conducted in the 1970s by Alexander G Schauss, of the American Institute for Biosocial Research. Schauss looked at the effect the colour had on mood and behavior after 15 minutes. A commander (Baker) and a warden (Miller) at the Washington State Department of Corrections agreed to paint the ceilings of a correctional facility this colour and found that exposure to it caused a short-term decrease in aggression. Subsequent experiments also concluded this shade could also act as a natural appetite suppressant. Further studies by Dr. James E. Gilliam, and Dr. David Unruh note that while the described effects of Baker-Miller pink are impressive, the scientific research to support them is limited.
