The lighting environment has an important influence on the psychological and physical aspects of a person. On certain occasions, reasonable lighting design can regulate people's emotions and improve their feelings of comfort in a space. Besides, specific lighting can create a specific atmosphere according to space requirements. However, in the study of an individual's affective impressions, there is still some uncertainty about how colored lights affect an individual's moods and impressions toward visual objects. This research improves the understanding of the emotional impact of colored light in space. To better understand the lighting environment in the observation process, the project studied the effects of four groups of lights (green, blue, red, and yellow) on the participants' moods and impressions. Participants watched two sets of visual images under four different lighting conditions and provided feedback on their emotions and evaluations through the Multiple Mood States Scale, Two-Dimensional Mood Scale, and Semantic Differential Scale. The results show that different colors of light have a significant effect on mood, and red light can arouse emotional changes to calm, irritated, relaxed, nervous, stability, and pleasure. At the same time, different colors of light have a certain relevance to participants' impressions and this provides further research value for the design of the colored light environment in an individual's affective impressions. Therefore, this study discusses the feasibility of colored lights as a display method, which has potential application prospects for constructing different space atmospheres.
照明环境对人的心理和生理方面有着重要影响。在某些场合，合理的照明设计可以调节人们的情绪，提高他们在空间中的舒适感。此外，特定的照明可以根据空间需求营造特定的氛围。然而，在对个体情感印象的研究中，关于彩色灯光如何影响个体对视觉对象的情绪和印象仍存在一些不确定性。本研究增进了对空间中彩色灯光情感影响的理解。为了在观察过程中更好地了解照明环境，该项目研究了四组灯光（绿色、蓝色、红色和黄色）对参与者情绪和印象的影响。参与者在四种不同的照明条件下观看两组视觉图像，并通过多重情绪状态量表、二维情绪量表和语义差异量表对他们的情绪和评价提供反馈。结果表明，不同颜色的灯光对情绪有显著影响，红光可引起情绪变化，包括平静、烦躁、放松、紧张、稳定和愉悦。同时，不同颜色的灯光与参与者的印象具有一定的相关性，这为个体情感印象中彩色灯光环境的设计提供了进一步的研究价值。因此，本研究探讨了彩色灯光作为一种展示方式的可行性，这对于营造不同的空间氛围具有潜在的应用前景。
