Baker–Miller Pink, also known as P-618, Schauss pink, or Drunk-Tank Pink is a tone of pink which has been observed to temporarily reduce hostile, violent or aggressive behavior. It was originally created by mixing white indoor latex paint with red trim semi-gloss outdoor paint in a 1:8 ratio by volume.

Alexander Schauss, director of American Institute for Biosocial Research in Tacoma, Washington, did extensive research into the effects of the color on emotions at the Naval Correctional Facility in Seattle and named it after the institute directors, Baker and Miller. After Schauss' study, correctional facilities, sports team locker rooms and artworks used Baker-Miller Pink to experiment with the observed effects. Across the U.S. and Europe, Baker-Miller Pink has been used to paint prison cells. As of 2015, 20% of prisons and police stations in Switzerland have at least one pink cell.
