In this study, we investigated the effects of facial and background color combinations on the perceived "impression of anger" in illustrations. The study engaged 83 participants to rate their perceived level of anger in 14 different illustrations. These images featured illustrations with either red or yellow-green angry expressions combined with seven distinct background colors on a 6-point scale. The results indicated that significant differences in the impact of background color on yellow-green facial expressions when paired with orange, red-purple, blue-purple, and blue backgrounds. Similarly, red facial expressions exhibited significant differences between orange and red-purple, with yellow showing significantly lower values compared to orange.
