That colour would annoy the hell out of me.

You might not be the only one:

While the results of Schauss' study at the Naval correctional facility in Seattle showed that Baker–Miller pink had positive and calming effect on prisoners, when the same pink was employed at the main jail in Santa Clara County, California, the prison incident rate increased and even peaked compared to pre-pink months, despite a small decrease in the first month. Jail commander Lieut. Paul Becker found that the bright pink color calmed inmates after 15 minutes but had a reverse effect after 20 minutes.
