“…In this study, "warm-cool" is mainly determined by the chroma and no significant influence was observed by hue. Contrary to our result, some researchers 11,12,28 have extracted the variable "warm-cool" as an independent factor and named it temperature or warmness factor. They reported that this temperature factor was mainly depended on hue of color.…”

Interior Color and Psychological Functioning in a University Residence Hall

et al. 2018

The research exploited a unique architectural setting of a university residence hall composed by six separate buildings that matched for every architectural detail and differed only for the interior color (violet, blue, green, yellow, orange, and red). Four hundred and forty-three students living in the six buildings for an average of 13.33 months participated in a study that assessed color preference (hue and lightness), lightness preference, and the effects of color on studying and mood. The results showed a preference for blue interiors, followed by green, violet, orange, yellow, and red. A preference bias was found for the specific color in which the student lived. Gender differences emerged for the preference of blue and violet. Room-lightness was significantly affected by the interior color. Room ceiling was preferred white. Blue as interior color was considered to facilitate studying activity. The use of differentiated colors in the six buildings was evaluated to significantly facilitate orienting and wayfinding. A significant relation was found between a calm mood and preference for blue.

“…Apart from the aesthetic impression they create (e.g., [1–3]), surface colors of interior space affect performance (e.g., [4–8], but see [9]) as well as emotion and well-being (e.g., [10–12]). Surface color is even supposed to have the power to change the room's perceived layout.…”

Bright paint makes interior-space surfaces appear farther away

Previous studies have reported that bright ceilings appear higher than dark ceilings, irrespective of the other colorimetric properties of the ceiling color (hue, saturation) and irrespective of the luminance of the remaining room surfaces (walls, floor). In the present study, we expand these findings to width and depth estimates. We presented stereoscopic full-scale room simulations on a head-mounted display and varied the luminance of the side walls, rear wall, and ceiling independently of each other. Participants judged the width and depth of the simulated rooms. Our results show that the perceived spatial layout of a given room is significantly influenced by the luminance of the direct bounding surfaces (e.g., the side walls when judging perceived width) but less affected by the luminance of the other surfaces. In the discussion, we provide an overall picture of effects of surface luminance on the perceived layout of interior spaces and discuss the conclusions in the context of existing interior-design guidelines.
