Kohler has introduced chromatherapy using color to affect or create mood into its new Purist soaking bath. The 20-inch-deep oval bathing well displays a predetermined sequence of eight colors, each designed to have mood-inducing properties (orange, as shown, is joyful and spontaneous). The colors radiate for approximately eight seconds, and users can stop the sequence and choose one color by pressing a button. The bath also features eight effervescence ports. Listed at $4,800, the bath is made of high-gloss acrylic and comes in 11 color finishes. Visit www.kohler.com for more information.
