    This study examined the suitability and impressions of various bedding colors among 66 nurses and 64 patients on psychiatric wards. (1) The colors chosen as suitable for hospital rooms were white in the male nurse and male patient groups, pale green in the female nurse group, and pale red in the female patient group. As unsuitable bedding colors, pale yellow was chosen by the male and female nurse groups and the female patient group, and pale red by the male patient group. (2) There were marked differences in the impressions of white and pale blue between the nurse and patient groups. (3) Factor analysis identified 2 factors: [psychological comfort] and [brightness/warmth]. The mean factor scores were relatively high for white, pale green, and pale blue for [psychological comfort］，and were pale red and pale yellow for [brightness/warmth]. Thus, selecting bedding in consideration of patient perspectives is necessary.
