I like pure red light (#FF0000) because its relaxing and lessens visual information overload

Baker-Miller pink is also interesting, was proposed to reduce violence and promote calmness in prison. Also very relaxing

    What I call Parrish light - the distinctive tone that’s prominent in Maxfield Parrish’s paintings.

    It’s a relatively subdued but clear reddish orange that I see most commonly with relatively uniform but thin thunderclouds at dusk. It makes blues and greens much more vivid, in spite of the fact that the overall amount of light is relatively low. And it’s glorious.
