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.

We could call them gothpitals.

Love it, I'm in

I dunno about friendlier, but it's certainly easier to see dirt and stains, which makes it easier to keep clean.

Enter into the void of the black MRI machine

They should paint them red and tile them like all leisure centers used to be in the '80s.

They should paint them with blood

Imma be honest, that hospital sounds metal as fuck. I'm down.

Yo regular hospitals are freaky enough at night, please. I don't think a funeral color scheme would help

[–] uis@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago

It certanly would help in case you suddenly will need funreal in hospital.

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.
