Abstract
This study aims to explore the specific impact of a color's hue, saturation, andbrightness value on people's evaluation, behavior, and emotions in the publicspace of existing shopping malls. Following a field investigation, color compositionand distribution characteristics in the public spaces of shopping malls are summa-rized. In the real scenes, the hues of colors are mainly warm colors, with some sup-plemented by blue. The saturation of the majority colors, which are almost grayishcolors, is lower than 33% and their brightness is very wide and evenly distributed.Anexperimentwasthenconductedinthelaboratory, whereinphotostakenandsounds recorded on-site were shown to participants; the participants were thenasked to answer questionnaires based on the pleasure-arousal-dominance emotionand approach-avoidance behavior theories. The results showed that hue has a weakeffect on individual responses, whereas saturation was found to have a significanteffect. Moreover, the brightnessdifferencebetweencolorscancauseachangeinsat-isfaction, behavior intention, and emotion. Additionally, in the public spaces ofshopping malls, the red color is more associated with embodied meaning, whereasthe green color is more associated with referential meaning, in which differentobjects have significantly different influences.
