Two experiments were conducted to determine whether color, lighting and material interact among each other in affecting the evaluation of an interior's ambience. Experiment 1, in which interior models with varying wall color and lighting were evaluated by subjects, showed that the effects on ambience evaluation of wall color and lighting are essentially independent of each other. Experiment 2, in which wall color, lighting and wall material were changed, demonstrated that wall color and material interact with respect to the parameters "beautiful" and "serene." The parameter "warm," however, showed no interaction among the three factors, and its evaluation was explainable as the linear sum of the effects of wall color, lighting and wall material.
