Pepto-Bismol anyone?

Huffy Savannah "comfort touring" bike. Ten speeds and all the pink that you can handle. Gonna fix it up for my wife. Maybe I'll attach a bottle holder and add a bottle of P-B.

When my daughter was 5 years old, we added a bedroom for her and I told her she could pick out the paint. Yup, it ended up Pepto-Bismol pink. When she was 12, she asked me why I ever let her do that.

I prefer Pepto-Bismol pink to "Barney the Dinosaur" pink.

Been there, when my daughter was little, her room was Pepto pink and Kermit the Frog green at the same time!
It later went to a more pleasing blue....[emoji1787]

But hey, it’s only paint!

Looks like Barney is closer to a purple; nearest Pantone match is 241C. Nearest match for Pepto-Bismol pink is Pantone 18-2120. This pink is also known as Baker-Miller pink, which was observed by the psychologist Alexander Schauss to produce a calming effect (reduced heart rate and respiration) and reduce violent and aggressive behavior. Experiments were conducted at a Naval correctional facility in Seattle, where rooms were painted with this color. Other researchers have questioned Schauss' findings.

So here's an experiment we can conduct on this forum: look at bikes of various colors and see how they effect your heart rate.

haha, this is funny. I have a 5 yr old daughter now, and we avoided the pink walls thing by painting them white and letting her pick any temp decals she wanted. She chose a gigantic rainbow sticker. Seriously, it's like 10' long. Fun.

Coincidence: Colman Domingo rocks the red carpet at the Oscars in his Pepto-Bismol pink suit!

The college where I work, the campus director had all the halls and classrooms painted a light pink because some report he had read said it was more conducive to learning and it was supposed to have a calming affect. Pissed everyone off and 3 years later they hired a painting company to come in and paint everything off white !!
