Implication

Experimental study reveals predictable emotional responses to two-colour pairs across British and Chinese observers, suggesting single-colour emotions additively predict pair emotions.

Key Points

Investigate psychological and emotional responses to two-colour combinations and establish an appearance-based predictive model using single-colour emotions.
Assessed 11 colour-emotion scales across 190 colour pairs with British and Chinese observers.
Identified underlying emotional dimensions using factor analysis and evaluated an additivity model relating component colours to colour pairs.
Factor analysis identified three core dimensions—colour activity, colour weight, and colour heat—mirroring emotional structures previously identified for single colours.
Gender differences were observed specifically on the masculine–feminine scale, whereas no significant cultural differences appeared between British and Chinese observers.
An additivity relationship accurately predicted two-colour pair emotions by averaging component colour emotions, but this model failed to predict colour preference.
