#27: The Intriguing Hue of Submarines
A contractor working on Virginia Class submarines was surprised by the color inside—what he called Key Lime Pie Green. The vibrant shade stood out, seeming odd for a military vessel. But there was a purpose behind it. Officially known as “Sea-foam Green,” the color was chosen with crew psychology in mind.
Long stretches of time underwater can affect mood and mental health. The soft, calming tone helps reduce stress and cabin fever during confinement. It may not be flashy, but small details like wall color in the deep sea can make a big difference in keeping sailors sane and steady.
