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

    In HSL terms, it’s essentially 100% saturation but only maybe 30% light, and since the light shifts toward red/orange, the blues and greens are the colors that stand out the most.

    A little physics of light correction: The colors that red and orange light cause to pop are red and orange. Red/orange light does cast a blue/green shadow color, though. The compliment of a light’s color is always the ambient color temperature of the light source’s shadow. That may be what you mean because a Red/Orange light will always make Reds and Oranges more intense than other colors since that is where most light energy is accumulated. For example, if I put a Red gel over a light then cast that light upon a solid blue surface, significantly less light would be bouncing off that surface than if I had used a Red surface.
