ADVANCING AND RECEDING EFFECTS OF COLORS ON APPARENT DISTANCE TO A WALL OF AN INTERIOR SPACE

Abstract

This study was conducted to evaluate the advancing and receding effects of colors on apparent distance to a front wall interior. The relationship between apparent distance of the wall and apparent volume of the interior space was also examined. Two presentation methods for subjects, CG images and scale models, were adopted.
The results are stated as follows.
1) The effects of colors on apparent distance to the front wall were clearly shown.
2) The close correlation between apparent distance to the front wall and volume of the space was found.
3) The CG images were shown to be adequate as the presentation method.
