Color Me Productive

sartin writes "Forget the saturated colors from The Andromeda Strain lab, researchers at The University of Texas report how color affects productivity. The results have some expected (different things work for different people) and some surprising (bright red is very good for some people) tidbits. At long last, I have scientific proof that the taupe and beige on my cubical wall are not the best colors for my productivity."

    I guess that explains the hideous color scheme for the slashdot IT section... it's the color that makes you most productive.
    Of course, the fact that your reading it instead of doing work probably negates any potential increase in productivity.
