Does anyone know why the McDonnell Douglas DC-9 aircraft have light blue cockpit panels?

Ah similar to the soft colours that they use in hospital emergency rooms etc…

I wonder why the colours were not used in the later Douglas product lines

In a busy stressful cockpit, the colour green is deemed to be pleasing to the eye and psycholigically is relaxing to the mind.
Sounds like bull but believe it or not this is true and thats why Russian military jets were also painted in a green interior.
