Such flexibility could include that use if movable partitions, removable wall covers, projectable designs, etc. It can be assumed that, in space al elsewhere, there is a general aversion to sameness. Visual variety can be introduced through the judicious use of texture or color (Living Aloft, 1985 (i). Within a zero gravity environment, coloring can stimulate orientation, a specific atmosphere or individual needs of an individual crew member within there personal quarter. The psychological effects of working and living a spatially restricted environment, with a restricted angle of vision and under stressful conditions for a prolonged period need to be further investigated perhaps in relation to a color-matching method, to ascertain a favorable palette of colors.
