On Steiner's "color thing"
jennefer harper
Here's some insight on "the color thing" with Steiner.
It is, perhaps, in my opinion, the earliest form of
ADHD propaganda.
From, The Education of the Child, by Rudolph Steiner
(p.20 and 21).
"With regard to the environment, 'nervous' children,
that is, excitable children, should be treated
differently from those who are quiet and lethargic.
Everything comes into consideration, from the color of
the room and the various objects that are generally
around the child, to the color of the clothes they
wear. One will often do the wrong thing if one does
not take guidance from spiritual knowledge, for in
many cases the materialistic idea will be the exact
reverse of what is proper. Excitable children should
be surrounded by and dressed in red or reddish-yellow
colors, while lethargic children should be surrounded
by blue or blueish-green shades of color. The
important thing is the complementary color that is
created within the child. In the case of red it is
green, and in the case of blue, orange-yellow. This
can be seen very easily by looking for awile at a red
or blue surface and then quickly looking at a white
surface. The physical organs of the child create this
contrary or complementary color, and this is what
causes the corresponding organic structures that the
child needs. If excitable children have a red color
around them, they will inwardly create the opposite,
the green; and this activity of creating green has a
calming effect. The organs assume a tendency of
calmness."
Wow! Be sure to try this: "This can be seen very
easily by looking for awile at a red or blue surface
and then quickly looking at a white surface."
(Steiner, see above.)

But this is Goethe's theory, not Steiner's. Did Steiner claim to have
discovered this himself?
