The Blue Green Room...WTF?

It is known as the Green Room, the place where we come between classes, knowing someone will always be there. Whether it's John Ruegsegger sleeping on the STD infested couch or Lindsay Ehrhardt creating another Facebook album during crew or Christopher Eastland working on his Macbook....someone is bound to be there to greet your face as you enter. But one thing that has always confused me about the Green Room, is the color...it's blue...but what color blue I don't know. 1. It's called the Green Room...this is confusing. 2. Who the hell wanted to paint it faded blue with white sponge marks on it. It's like someone covered Zach Krohn in sponges and gave him some caffeine and let him loose. So there have been discussions that the room will actually be repainted...when this is occuring I do not know. But I for one wonder about if they happen to paint it green, what the response will be...will the green room be the same after the blue walls are gone? What do the blue walls of the green room represent when it comes to our department?

I welcome the change because the green room is a second home to me...but I am looking forward to the reactions...sic'em repainting.

I second the act to repainting. However, I do not think it has to be green. It is not called that because of the walls in the first place. And green can look really bad sometimes. If we paint it, it either needs to be really dark or really light. Aka baylor green gives a bad energy to walls and is definitely not feng shui. We should have two walls dark green and two really light, that would give the sense of openness and comfort at the same time. However, perhaps the green room is not green because that color is supposed to invoke energy and any more in there may be dangerous. Blue is a calming color, despite the despicable shade that currently coats the walls.

I would just like to clarify that that couch is not std infested. It has nothing on the monstrosity of the blue couch torn apart that was there prior to this fall.
