Most colour studies focus on single colour effects; however, interiors are multi-coloured environments and contemporary users are looking for more innovative colour schemes in interiors. Interior architects rely on their own subjective experience and instincts when they take up the challenge. This study aims to reveal colour semantics of paired colours on walls for different residential interior types (eg, living room) as a second part of the previous study conducted by the same authors. Both studies explore colour semantics through 42 Munsell colours (with variety of hues, value, and chroma levels) with 14 adjectives (eg, beautiful, unpleasant, cold) under controlled conditions. The predecessor study had explored single colour meanings, however, in this study, participants were asked to pair colours for the same residential interior types on the same semantic scales. Thus, its results can be compared to single colour data on different residential interior types through same methodology and participants. Results reveal that all colour attributes affect semantics paired wall colours. Orange is associated with negative meanings more whereas yellow hue induces positive meanings more for all adjective pairs, except cold-warm and feminine-masculine. For positive association, lighter colours and less saturated colours are selected more compared to saturated and darker colours. Comparing results of single colour study and the current study reveals that pairs cannot be anticipated through single colours for all residential interior types and adjectives, and positive adjectives tend to require different colours than their single associations in their pairs.

不同室内类型的住宅建筑色彩搭配

大多数色彩研究侧重于单一色彩效果；然而，室内是多色环境，当代用户正在寻找更具创新性的室内配色方案。室内建筑师在接受挑战时依靠自己的主观经验和直觉。本研究旨在揭示不同住宅内部类型（例如客厅）墙壁上配对颜色的颜色语义，作为由同一作者进行的先前研究的第二部分。这两项研究都在受控条件下通过 42 种孟塞尔颜色（具有各种色调、价值和色度水平）和 14 个形容词（例如，美丽、不愉快、寒冷）来探索颜色语义。先前的研究探索了单一颜色的含义，然而，在这项研究中，参与者被要求在相同的语义尺度上为相同的住宅室内类型配对颜色。因此，可以通过相同的方法和参与者将其结果与不同住宅室内类型的单色数据进行比较。结果表明，所有颜色属性都会影响语义配对墙壁颜色。橙色更多地与负面意义相关，而黄色色调更多地为所有形容词对诱发积极意义，除了冷暖和女性男性。对于正关联，与饱和和较深的颜色相比，较浅的颜色和饱和度较低的颜色被选择得更多。比较单色研究和当前研究的结果表明，对于所有住宅室内类型和形容词，不能通过单色预测成对，
