| Abstract | Color plays a significant role in shaping the atmosphere and experience within healthcare environments. This systematic review examines the existing literature on the effects of color in healthcare settings, aiming to provide insights into its influence on patient outcomes, staff well-being, and overall healthcare experiences. By synthesizing findings from various studies, this review identifies key themes, explores methodological approaches, and proposes a comprehensive research agenda to better understand the complex relationship between color and health outcomes. The review involved a systematic search of databases such as PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science, as well as internet search engines including Google and Yahoo. The search focused on empirical studies, theoretical papers, and industry guidelines related to color in healthcare settings. Over 3 000 titles were screened, and relevant studies were critically evaluated for their methodological rigor and findings. A PRISMA form was used to extract the necessary information. The synthesis of existing literature highlights the importance of considering color selection, application, and environmental context in healthcare design to optimize patient care and enhance the well-being of both patients and healthcare providers. Although the existing literature underscores the importance of color in healthcare design, empirical evidence remains limited. Future research should aim to address these gaps by exploring the nuanced ways in which color influences health outcomes and by developing evidence-based guidelines for the application of color in healthcare settings. | en |
