Preferences for hues at three different temperature levels and three levels of brightness were determined using the method of paired comparisons. Three groups each of 34 Ss took part. Preferences were influenced by hue and not by brightness. Preferences at low temperatures were positively correlated with the wavelength of light, and at high temperatures were inversely related to wavelength. Intermediate temperatures showed no significant relationship.
