Emotional State as a Key Driver of Public Preferences for Flower Color by Juan She, Renwu Wu, Bingling Pi, Jie Huang, Zhiyi Bao

“…The results show that the public’s flower color preference is primarily related to the a* and b* parameters, which represent color dimensions in the CIELAB color space, and it is not significantly related to L* (lightness). Factors such as age, annual household income level (AI), personal income sources (PI), nature experience, and emotional state (TMD) significantly influence color preferences, with emotional state identified as the most critical factor. …”
