    Against the backdrop of rapid urban development, public demand for emotionally restorative environments is increasing. As the most accessible natural spaces in cities, parks can create differentiated landscape atmospheres through variations in flower color, thereby influencing public emotions. However, existing studies have mainly focused on the emotional effects of single flower colors, while insufficient attention has been paid to the emotional impacts of color combinations. Taking urban parks as the research context, this study employed image simulation and questionnaire surveys to explore the effects of single-color and combined-color flowers on public emotional responses. The results showed that significant differences existed among age and gender groups in their perception of cool-colored environments. Among single-color flowers, warm colors were more likely to stimulate emotional uplift, whereas cool colors were more likely to promote relaxation. In color-combination settings, combinations with consistent tonal tendencies tended to maintain the emotional direction of single colors, and cool colors were more likely to serve as key cues influencing the overall emotional experience in mixed-color environments. The findings provide references for emotion-oriented flower border design and the creation of therapeutic park landscapes.

    The artistic essence of meticulous-style flower-and-bird painting lies in the creation of artistic conception. As the core expressive language, color serves not only as a medium to reproduce objects but also as a crucial medium for constructing artistic conception and expressing emotions. This paper systematically explores the dynamic role of color in generating artistic conception within meticulous-style paintings. First, it analyzes the philosophical foundations of traditional color theory from the perspectives of "coloring according to species" and "preconceived intent preceding brushwork." Subsequently, it examines the mechanisms of color expression in emotional symbolism, and material synergy through classic works spanning from the Song Dynasty. Finally, it extends to the evolution and expansion paths of contemporary meticulous-style painting's color language.

    Against the backdrop of globalization and cultural convergence, the homogenization of regional interior design has become increasingly prominent. As an intuitive and emotionally rich design element, color serves as a crucial carrier for the inheritance and expression of regional culture. This paper takes Lingnan traditional dwellings as the research object and explores their interior color design strategies from the perspective of regional culture. Firstly, it analyzes the color cultural genes from the dimensions of natural geographical environment, philosophical thoughts, folk beliefs, and craftsmanship techniques, and explains the characteristics of multiple integration such as "learning from nature", "neutrality and implicitness", and "gorgeousness and simplicity". Then, it dissects the pain points in current practices, including the superficialization of cultural symbols, conflicts in adapting to modern functions, and the lack of scientific support for colors. Finally, it proposes four strategic paths: "color translation of natural imagery", "contemporary embodiment of cultural spirit", "innovative interpretation of technical materials", and "ecological consideration of systematicness and sustainability", aiming to provide theoretical and practical guidance for interior color design with regional characteristics.

    The emergence of synthetic color was not merely a technical innovation in materials; it signified a deep convergence between the histories of art and science. Color’s history is far from a purely aesthetic narrative, instead entwined with technological invention, social change and evolving artistic ideas. From the industrial production of aniline dyes, through the widespread adoption of synthetic ultramarine and titanium white, to the development of the Pantone color system and digital RGB color models, the diffusion of synthetic hues reshaped the material conditions of art-making and propelled fundamental shifts in visual form and expression in the modern and contemporary periods.

    In traditional Chinese landscape painting, the implicit colors formed by ink wash through variations in density, dryness, wetness, and moisture are the core medium for conveying artistic conception. Taking Mi Youren's "Wonderous Scenery of the Xiao and Xiang Rivers" as a case study, this paper analyzes the technical expression of ink wash colors, the presentation of the painting, and their role in constructing a poetic artistic conception. The study finds that Mi Youren, through techniques such as splashed ink, broken ink, and dotting-dyeing, transformed ink wash into a color language that integrates light-dark layers, spatial rhythm, and emotional warmth. This not only restores the natural characteristics of the mist-shrouded Xiao and Xiang River regions but also conveys spiritual connotations that transcend the material forms of objects. By comparing with the Western realistic view of colors, this paper further reveals the aesthetic value of "governing complexity with simplicity" in traditional Chinese ink wash colors, providing a perspective for understanding the color system of traditional landscape painting.

    Color is the primary expressive language of watercolor art, with the interplay of "water" and "color" forming its soul. Located in the Lingnan region, Guangdong has developed a unique artistic style in watercolor techniques and color language due to its distinctive climate, profound cultural heritage, and open, inclusive humanistic characteristics. This study systematically examines the intrinsic principles of the interaction between "water" and "color" in Guangdong watercolor paintings, analyzing the distinctive aesthetic connotations of their harmonious interplay. From the color blending in wet-on-wet techniques, precise layering under controlled water application, to the texture generation in water mark shaping and the color expansion achieved through mixed media integration, the paper traces the evolution of Guangdong watercolor's color language from experiential summarization to standardized construction through the works of veteran artists such as Chen Haining and Huang Zengyan, as well as emerging talents like Liang Guohui and Su Junquan. Research confirms that the interplay of watercolor techniques and color language not only establishes a solid foundation for the aesthetic system of Guangdong watercolor but also serves as a vital expressive form that embodies regional characteristics and carries the spirit of the times, giving rise to the distinctive "Guangdong School of Watercolor.

    For a long time, sculptural creation has centered on volume and mass, while color remained a marginal, decorative element. With the development of modern visual culture and advances in material technology, color has transcended this subordinate role and emerged as a core language for spatial intervention and the reconfiguration of sculptural form. This paper challenges the conventional notion that "sculpture equals monochrome" by tracing the conceptual shift from the classical "myth of whiteness" to the modernist emphasis on material authenticity. Drawing on the practices of artists such as Anish Kapoor and Anthony Caro, it examines the dual function of color as both an aesthetic medium and a formal device. It argues that, through the interaction of physical properties and psychological perception, color can dissolve material heaviness and reconstruct sculptural narrative logic. The awakening of color language thus marks a key transition from static objecthood to dynamic spatial experience.

    Traditional public art relies on static physical materials. Digital media transforms color into flowing "light color," fundamentally altering viewing patterns. This paper explores how such immaterial color dissolves boundaries between artworks, spaces, and individuals. By analyzing how luminous color blurs physical edges, responds to real-time bodily interactions, and connects strangers through light transmission, the study reveals that flowing light color transforms public art into an interactive medium. This shift reshapes interpersonal relationships, bringing novel aesthetic experiences and psychological belonging to modern urban spaces.

    A symbol is a symbol that can express a specific meaning or content, and plays an important role in social communication and exchange. Color itself has no fixed meaning. When we give color emotional and cultural connotations, it becomes a language, a symbolic code, that is, a color symbol. In the field of visual arts, color symbols show unique value. As a form of visual art, color is an indispensable and important element in the creation of picture books. This article takes children's picture books as the core, explores the meaning and value of color symbols in picture book creation and appreciation, and analyzes its application in aesthetic expression, instruction and guidance, cultural communication, and cognitive development for children of different ages.

    Color perception is a key ability for children's art enlightenment, which will directly affect their aesthetic experience and creativity development. In primary education, traditional art classrooms often teach by memorizing color names and single copying, which is easy to make lower-grade students feel boring and difficult to stimulate the enthusiasm of active observation and exploration. With the characteristics of fun and interactivity, gamification teaching can build a real color application scene for students. Therefore, this paper focuses on the association between gamification teaching and the cultivation of color perception ability, in order to provide new ideas for improving the fun and effectiveness of primary art classrooms.

    In current high school art classrooms, color teaching often focuses on technique explanation and practice, with insufficient exploration of the emotional value of color, and little connection between the emotional application of color and the cultivation of students' core literacy. As a result, when students face art works, they can only stay at the surface level of color perception and cannot deeply understand the meaning behind color. The cultivation of core literacy also lacks specific paths that are in line with teaching reality. The study attempts to use art classics as an important teaching medium to explore the inherent connection between the use of color emotions and the cultivation of core competencies in high school art classrooms, and to find feasible ways to organically combine the two. The aim is to provide practical references for high school art teachers to carry out color teaching and implement core competency cultivation goals, so that color teaching can not only improve students' art skills, but also effectively promote the comprehensive development of students' core competencies.

    This study transcends the linear diffusion paradigm in enamel color studies by unveiling a polycentric interactive network of Eurasian enamel technologies from the 13th to 18th centuries. Through a tripartite analytical framework integrating technical experimentation, chemical data, and archival documentation, we identify three technological iterations in Chinese enamel development: foundational glaze formulations in the Yuan Dynasty, establishment of cobalt-blue and warm-tone systems in the Ming Dynasty, and gold-pink innovation during the Qing Dynasty. Key findings reveal Persian technological influences in Yuan-Ming glaze materials, while Qing gold-pink enamels synthesized European arsenic reduction techniques with indigenous formulations. This evolutionary process constitutes a transcontinental translation of chromatic technologies across civilizations, subverting the "core-periphery" narrative. Our research substantiates the hypothesis of Yuan Dynasty origins for Chinese enamel arts and illuminates the techno-collaborative mechanisms underlying the formation of global chromatic languages.
