Classification of placebo drugs: effect of color
Percept Mot Skills.
1979 Oct.
Abstract
To study the role of color in the pscyhological effects of placebo drugs, 100 subjects were asked to place each of six different colored capsules into one of three classifications of drug effects. Results indicate that red and yellow placebos are classified as stimulants while blue placebos are classified as depressants.
