The experiment is aimed at knowing the effect of "body heating" on color preference. Eleven subjects with normal color vision served as subjects. Two tests, one of the "No Bath" and the other of the "Bath" were conducted. Hot bath immersion with 38.5 degrees C was performed for 30 min from 07:30 h to 08:00 h. Then, they were instructed to choose a single colored cloth out of 41 cloth colors (24 x 52 cm), preferred by themselves, every five min from 08:00 h to 09:00 h under the ambient temperature (Ta) of 27 degrees C. Most subjects preferred cooler color after "body heating" than after "not body heating". This finding was discussed in terms of greater differences between core temperature and its set point after "body heating", because cooler color would be helpful psychologically in allowing raised core temperature approach its set point.
该实验旨在了解“身体升温”对颜色偏好的影响。11名具有正常色觉的受试者参与实验。进行了两项测试，一项是“不沐浴”测试，另一项是“沐浴”测试。在7:30至8:00期间进行了30分钟的38.5摄氏度热水浴。然后，在27摄氏度的环境温度（Ta）下，从8:00至9:00，要求他们每五分钟从41种颜色的布料（24×52厘米）中挑选出一块自己喜欢的单色布。与“未身体升温”相比，大多数受试者在“身体升温”后更喜欢冷色调。从“身体升温”后核心温度与其设定点之间的差异更大这一角度对这一发现进行了讨论，因为冷色调在心理上有助于使升高的核心温度接近其设定点。
