Turns out lighter colors are perceived as cleaner and friendlier.

Or maybe hospitals are racist too? Or we need more hospitals with black walls and floors.

Big Custodian has lobbied hard to keep hospitals using them. Black would hide all flavors of bodily fluids, so they wouldn't need to be cleaned as often. Instead we have to use pastel greens and blues that show every drop of blood and the tiniest smears of poo. It's disgusting.
