This study identifies the relationship among colors, emotion, and preference. First, we chose 60 photos as the stimulus in the experiment by evaluated color harmony through questionnaires before conducting a survey with the following variables: emotional experience, color harmony, and landscape preference. The emotional experience variables consist of eight different scales as follows: tense, relax, afraid, calm, excited, bored, pleasure, and gloomy. Next, we tried to evaluate whether the CIEL*a*b* color space reflects the emotional experience model. The results showed that color composition and color harmony affected emotional experience and landscape preference. Color harmony was strongly correlated with some variables of emotional experience and landscape preference. Under the stimulation of a natural landscape, when there is a harmonious feeling then there is a stronger relationship with positive emotions, i.e. the more positive the emotions, the higher the preference. This finding verifies the concept of emotion as a mediator between environment and behavior responses. Additionally, the CIEL*a*b* color space can be matched to Russell's circumplex model of affect. |
