目的：我们比较专家意见与感性判断的影响，颜色的感知高度和宽度的室内房间。背景资料：我们假设，与流行的看法相反，天花板和墙壁亮度对感知高度有相加作用，而这些表面之间的亮度对比不太重要。我们评估了建筑专家的直觉，哪些表面颜色最大化表观高度，并将这些直觉与天花板，地板和墙壁亮度不同的房间的心理物理高度和宽度估计进行了比较。方法：实验一是对建筑专家和非专家的问卷调查。实验2和3提出了不同的物理高度，物理宽度和表面亮度的虚拟房间。结果如下：在实验1中，专家和非专家都错误地认为天花板和墙壁之间的亮度对比会影响感知高度。实验2表明，亮度对比度并不决定表观高度，但天花板和墙壁亮度有累加效应。实验3表明，减少知觉宽度与物理高度，而知觉高度是不相关的物理宽度。表观宽度不受天花板亮度的影响。结论：浅色天花板和浅色墙壁使房间看起来更高，而地板颜色的效果较弱。我们还发现了高度和宽度之间不对称相互作用的证据。应用：如何给墙壁和天花板上色以最大化房间的表观尺寸的问题可以根据经验来回答。美学考虑可能会干扰专家对颜色效果的正确评估。
Objectives: We compare expert opinion with perceptual judgment regarding the influence of color on the perceived height and width of interior rooms. Background: We hypothesize that contrary to popular belief, ceiling and wall lightness have additive effects on perceived height, whereas the lightness contrast between these surfaces is less important. We assessed the intuitions of architectural experts as to which surface colors maximize apparent height and compared these intuitions with psychophysical height and width estimates for rooms differing in ceiling, floor, and wall lightness. Method: Experiment 1 was a survey of architectural experts and nonexperts. Experiments 2 and 3 presented virtual rooms varying in physical height, physical width, and surface lightness. Results: In Experiment 1, both experts and nonexperts erroneously assumed that the lightness contrast between ceiling and walls influences perceived height. Experiment 2 showed that the lightness contrast does not determine apparent height but that ceiling and wall lightness have additive effects. Experiment 3 demonstrated a decrease in perceived width with physical height, whereas the perceived height was not related to physical width. Apparent width was unaffected by ceiling lightness. Conclusion:: Light ceiling and light walls make a room appear higher, whereas floor color has a weaker effect. We also found evidence for an asymmetric interaction between height and width. Application: The question of how to color walls and ceiling to maximize the apparent size of a room can be answered empirically. Aesthetic considerations may interfere with the correct assessment of the effects of color in experts.
