Didn't 'they' instruct families back then to paint that same "apple green" colour in kitchens, in order to make housewives calmer and happier?
Later, they realized that it actually caused nervousness and anxiety--and was, in fact, the same (or similar) colour used in interrogation rooms in jails/prisons/police stations/whatever.

I just know I wouldn't want to spend alot of time in this room.
