Abstract

Based on the dichromatic visual characteristics of dogs, this study established a color design system for dining spaces centered on the '3C Principle' (Color Contrast Optimization, Standard Color Coding, Dynamic Hue Regulation). The research indicates that dogs are particularly sensitive to blue and yellow tones, so their visual perception should be fully considered in spatial color design. In practice at 'Huniu Farm', color coding was applied with a coral orange feeding area, sky-blue drinking area, dark blue toilet area, and gray-blue resting area to effectively guide pet behavior and improve space utilization. This design approach not only enhances dogs' eating enthusiasm and spatial orientation abilities but also creates a comfortable dining environment for users, providing both theoretical and practical support for human-pet cohabitation space design.

Key words
