Abstract

The topic of how colour emotion and colour vision deficiencies interact with each other is barely researched, and existing studies have contradicting results. This study will investigate how these two topics interact with each other and try to prove that colour emotion is affected by colour vision deficiencies. This was done through an online colour-emotion associations questionnaire in two phases. The first phase had 60 participants, of which 15 reported having colour vision deficiencies and the second had 18 participants, of which 8 were identified to have colour vision deficiencies. Within the questionnaires, the participants selected emotions from the Geneva Emotion Wheel which they associated with 12 colour patches or 4 colour terms and then rated how strong this association is from 1 to 5. Results show indications that colour vision deficiencies lead to reduced strength of colour-emotion associations and a higher number of people who do not associate emotions with certain or all colours. Additionally, it was found that the colour vision deficiency group associates fewer emotions with each colour than the normal vision group and differences in specific colour-emotion associations were found between the two groups.
