Here is why airplane seats are almost always blue

You've probably noticed that airlines mostly prefer blue color. It includes seat upholstery, flight attendants' uniforms, and advertising signs. Brighside reports why.

Many studies in the field of psychology have shown that blue is the color of calm and trust. Surrounded by it, a person feels more confident and protected. And this is exactly how airplane passengers should feel.

In the 1980s, some airlines decided to make the seat upholstery red as it added a richer vibe. However, this experiment quickly failed. Warm colors often cause irritation and aggressive behavior among passengers.

Passenger comfort depends not only on the color of the seats but also on the upholstery material. It is believed that it is best to use natural breathable fabrics for long flights. They do not cause excessive sweating and skin irritation. Some companies prefer artificial leather as it does not leave stains and retains its good look for a long time.
