Color composition in paintings is a critical factor affecting observers' aesthetic judgments. We examined observers' preferences for the color composition of Japanese and Occidental paintings when their color gamut was rotated. In the experiment, observers were asked to select their preferred image from original and three hue-rotated images in a four-alternative forced choice paradigm. Despite observers' being unfamiliar with the presented artwork, the original paintings (0 degrees) were preferred more frequently than the hue-rotated ones. Furthermore, the original paintings' superiority was observed when the images were divided into small square pieces and their positions randomized (Scrambled condition), and when the images were composed of square pieces collected from different art paintings and composed as patchwork images (Patchwork condition). Therefore, the original paintings' superiority regarding preference was quite robust, and the specific objects in the paintings associated with a particular color played only a limited role. Rather, the original paintings' general trend in color statistics influenced hue-angle preference. Art paintings likely share common statistical regulations in color distributions, which may be the basis for the universality and superiority of the preference for original paintings.
绘画中的色彩构成是影响观察者审美判断的关键因素。我们研究了色域旋转时观察者对日本绘画和西方绘画色彩构成的偏好。在实验中，观察者被要求在四选一的强制选择范式中，从原始图像和三张色调旋转图像中选择他们更喜欢的图像。尽管观察者对展示的艺术品不熟悉，但原始绘画（0度）比色调旋转的绘画更常被选中。此外，当图像被分成小方块并随机排列其位置时（打乱条件），以及当图像由从不同艺术画作中收集的方块组成并拼接成拼凑图像时（拼凑条件），都观察到了原始绘画的优势。因此，原始绘画在偏好方面的优势相当稳固，绘画中与特定颜色相关的具体对象只起到了有限的作用。相反，原始绘画在色彩统计方面的总体趋势影响了色调角度偏好。艺术画作在色彩分布上可能共享共同的统计规律，这可能是对原始绘画偏好具有普遍性和优势的基础。
