• Resumen

  • The methodology and results of a preliminary study that used virtual reality environments and surveys to analyze the emotional influence of color palettes in an interior space is exposed. Nine chromatic tones were selected and applied into a Virtual Reality architectural environment. Thirty trials were made with users who answered questionnaires about emotional response and overall assessment of the space during the simulation. The results of this work may be of interest for architects as the opportunity to correlate color ranges used with emotional response and appreciation of space by users facilitates design criteria adapted to the needs of people.
