Abstract

This study compared emotional responses to color combinations in the 60s group to those in the younger groups(20s, 40s) in order to develop simple and accurate measuring tools. With increasing elderly population, aging vision is a factor that considerably impacts color visualization. The environment surrounding us stimulates our vision not only through visualizing one color separately but also through visualizing color combinations composed of more than two colors. This study focused on subjects' emotional responses to a long wavelength color (R) and short wavelength color (PB) combinations. Twelve living room images were constructed using a computer graphic program. The rooms were two monochromatic color combinations, two analogous color combinations and two complementary color combinations in 200 lx and 500 lx. The images were presented through a 23-inch LED monitor. The subjects responded to the sensitivity vocabulary by semantic differential (SD) scales, while watching the images in a room with the natural light blocked. A total of 90 questionnaires were analyzed by SPSS 18.0. Major findings as follows: 1) When comparing each of the color images by SD scale responses, 60s showed significant differences compared to 20s and 40s in color emotion. 2) When comparing in 500 lx color combination images, there was no significant differences between each group. This study found the characteristics of people's emotional responses to color combinations. This study will provide one basic data on color psychology research and directions of color design by analyzing the color emotion difference of color combinations according to age.
