Face perception is important for our social interaction. When we perceive faces, not only face features such as its configuration and contour but also face color might affect our face perception. This study aimed to reveal the effect of the color information on face processing and an event-related potential (ERP) was measured while natural color face and blue color face were presented. As a result, the amplitude of the N170 which deeply correlates with face processing was larger in response to blue color face than in response to natural color face. The result indicates that the color information effects on face processing in similar way with face configuration and that face color might also play important roles in the processing.
