Abstract Going to a concert involves both visual and auditory senses, which have been found to influence each other in many ways. The visual design of a concert hall contributes to the visual experience of seeing a concert, and color is one of the most obvious elements of the visual design. While some studies have reported that color affects vehicle loudness, the influence of concert hall color on the auditory experience of seeing a concert has been little-studied. In this study 30 volunteers evaluated loudness, reverberance, and their visual and auditory preference for multiple virtual reality scenes of a concert hall with various colors and with a music excerpt of various levels of gain and reverberation time. Results show that color has little or no effect on loudness and reverberance compared to changing gain or reverberation time. However, color does affect visual and auditory preference, and these are positively correlated and mutually influential. Of the five colors tested, red is the most-liked color for the selected concert hall, followed by neutral, blue, and yellow, while green is the least liked color. The color preference is related to the commonly used color styles of existing halls.

音乐厅颜色对偏好和听觉感知的影响

摘要 去听音乐会涉及视觉和听觉，已经发现它们在很多方面相互影响。音乐厅的视觉设计有助于观看音乐会的视觉体验，而色彩是视觉设计中最明显的元素之一。虽然一些研究报告说颜色会影响车辆响度，但很少有人研究音乐厅颜色对观看音乐会的听觉体验的影响。在这项研究中，30 名志愿者评估了音乐厅的多个虚拟现实场景的响度、混响以及他们的视觉和听觉偏好，这些场景具有各种颜色，以及具有各种增益和混响时间级别的音乐片段。结果表明，与改变增益或混响时间相比，颜色对响度和混响的影响很小或没有影响。然而，颜色确实会影响视觉和听觉偏好，并且这些是正相关和相互影响的。在测试的五种颜色中，红色是所选音乐厅最喜欢的颜色，其次是中性、蓝色和黄色，而绿色是最不喜欢的颜色。颜色偏好与现有大厅常用的颜色风格有关。
