Favorite colors of patients with drug-resistant epilepsy: pilot study

AbstractObjectiveTo evaluate the favorite colors of patients with drug-resistant epilepsy.MethodsFollowing examination, 50 patients were diagnosed in accordance with the 2005 proposal of the International League Against Epilepsy and the definition of drugresistant epilepsy since 2010. The favorite color examination used a six-color tape and Trycolors, an online color mixing tool. The patients' color preferences were compared with those of 50 individuals without epilepsy.ResultsPatients with drug-resistant epilepsy preferred the color blue the most (30%), significantly more yellow (p  = 0.0001), and significantly less green (p <  0.0001) compared to individuals without epilepsy. By mixing these colors at a certain percentage, we obtained the Go Ben color.SignificanceThis information on preferred colors can help to improve compliance and can be utilized in designing medications and environments for patients with epilepsy.
