Colour meaning is a challenging decision in interior architecture during the design process; however, specific meanings within different interior types have not yet been investigated. This study explored colour meaning in the context of residential interior types (eg, bedroom) under controlled conditions using 42 Munsell colours varying in hues, value, and chroma levels, with 14 adjectives (eg, comfortable, pleasant). The results demonstrate that some colours convey the same meanings (eg, vulgar) regardless of type of room; however, others (eg, beautiful) tend to require more complicated and sophisticated colour applications in different residential interiors. The study findings proved that colour meaning in RITs can be affected by all colour attributes. All colours that are named orange and red are selected for both negative and positive meanings. Colours that are named purple are selected less and only for negative connotations. The findings present an overall colour meaning guide for these residential interior types, which will be beneficial for decision makers (interior architects, designers, users) and colour researchers.

不同内部类型的住宅室内建筑中的颜色语义

在设计过程中，颜色的含义是室内建筑中具有挑战性的决定。但是，尚未研究不同内部类型内的特定含义。这项研究探索了在受控条件下使用42种Munsell颜色（在色相，值和色度水平方面有所变化）和14个形容词（例如舒适，宜人）在住宅内部类型（例如卧室）中的颜色含义。结果表明，无论房间的类型如何，某些颜色都传达相同的含义（例如，庸俗的）。然而，其他（例如漂亮）往往需要在不同的住宅室内使用更复杂和复杂的色彩应用。研究结果证明，RIT中的颜色含义会受到所有颜色属性的影响。选择所有橙色和红色作为负向和正向含义。较少选择名为紫色的颜色，并且仅用于负数含义。研究结果提供了这些住宅内部类型的整体颜色含义指南，这将对决策者（室内建筑师，设计师，用户）和颜色研究人员有所帮助。
