“…Warm deep colours on the end walls with a lighter colour wall can make a long narrow room seem close and appear more evenly proportioned (Pile, 1997). On the other hand, cool colours, such as blue and green, and lighter colour tend to make space much more spacious (Yildirim et al, 2011). The cool colour space was perceived as somewhat more openness than the warm colour space.…”

Colours and the spatial properties of the workplace are primarily visually conveyed. The aim of this study determines how colour, area and height influence space perception. 80 interior designers participated in this experiment to evaluate the sixteen workspace images on the internet-based questionnaires. Four factors of space perception; spaciousness, openness, complexity, and order, were assessed using a semantic differential scale. The outcomes revealed that variations in space perception were significantly associated with the difference in colour, area, and height. Neutral colour in all area and height obtained the highest rating of the overall factors, followed by cool colours. Keywords IntroductionThe physical work environment that can affect human perception is well documented. Certain attributes of the workplace such as room configuration, office planning, ergonomics, colour or lighting have been conducted. In term of colour, which is one of the interior design elements that also play a crucial role in influencing either large or small space. However, little research investigates the interaction effect of colours and spatial-architectural dimension in the work environment on human space perception. Most of them conducted in the experimental room and focused on examining the effect of each factor separately. Many studies have studied on colours only at the walls but lack of concentration in the whole space. It should determine the spatial effects with all three planes such as the horizontal plane, vertical plane, and overhead plane. Moreover, there is a limited amount of research in a wide range of color. There were almost examined a few prominent colour such as red, blue, green, and particular research have attempted to compare the effect of one colour with other colour. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the various colour schemes and room proportion in the real design work environments in Thailand, and then examine how colour, area and height influence space perception. It's necessary to understand how the different colour in the various room proportion can affect human perceptions to create a positive workplace. The findings will provide the essential variables, set of effective colour, implication, and recommendation for further study.

“…In the studies Imamoğlu (2000) 63 and Akalın et al (2009) 64 made on the building facade visuals, a conclusion was obtained in the perception by females of facades having different levels of complexity. Yildirim et al (2011Yildirim et al ( , 65 2014 ), Dube &Mor-gan (1996) 67 and Dinç (2009) 68 also stated that females are more critical compared to males.…”

ÖZIt was aimed in this study to determine the effects on the perceptual evaluations of participants for the design differences of mosque facades that were shaped according to periods, countries and architectural trends within the geographical boundaries where the Islamic religion spread. With this purpose, 100 participants treated in 3 groups (Seljukid period, Ottoman period and Turkish Republic Period) were evaluated with the semantic differentiation scale, which covered the variables of preference, complexity, impressiveness and stimulative of the facade visuals of 16 different mosques. In conclusion, the data obtained on the mosque visuals, which were used in the survey study, showed that there was a statistically significant differences among the variables of complexity, preference, impressiveness and stimulative and it was determined that there was a reverse U-shaped relationship between the variables of preference and complexity in the evaluation of mosque. Then, to examine the effect of age, gender and education level on participants evaluations of the mosque visuals, the one-way analysis of variance was applied. Accordingly, it was determined that the male participants displayed a more negative approach compared to female, middle-aged participants (36-50 years of age) compared to young participants (22-35 years of age), participants with higher education compared to participants with secondary education. According to results; the Ottoman period mosques were more complex compared to the others, they were preferenced more and found to be even more effective and stimulating.

“…Evidence-based studies are unfortunately insufficiently exhaustive and systematic to know which colour is best for which object or context. Some studies, for example, investigated colours for particular interior spaces (Genschow, Noll, Wanke, and Gersbach 2015;Lee, Guillet, and Law 2016;Manav 2007;Schauss 1979, Umamaheshwari, Asokan, andKumaran 2013;Yildirim, Hidayetoglu, and Capanoglu 2011) while others investigated appropriate colours for logos (Bottomley and Doyle 2006;Labrecque and Milne 2012) or websites (Bakhshi and Gilbert 2015).…”

Popular opinions link colours and emotions. Yet, affective connotations to colours are heterogeneous (e.g. red represents anger and love) partly because they relate to different contexts. Despite insufficient evidence, colours are used in applied settings (health, marketing, etc.) for their supposed effects on cognitive and affective functioning. Summarizing the literature, we invite for systematic research to investigate when and how colours link with affective phenomena. We need to i) distinguish between situations in which colours are physically shown or linguistically treated, ii) specify types of affective processes (e.g. emotion, mood, preference), and iii) investigate cross-cultural differences. Having these needs in mind, we initiated an international online survey on semantic colour-emotion associations. We outline theoretical considerations and present the survey's design.
