Supplemental Material

We verify the possible relationships between the colour names and their respective preferences in adults and children. 300 adults took an online test (mean age = 30 years; SD = 1.02) and 52 children in person (23 6-yrs-old; 29 7-yrs-old), consisting of ordering 8 colours according to personal preference. Except for the colours brown and blue, the less and most preferred in both groups, we didn’t find relationships between the preferences. Also, the high differences between the colour name and their respective preference shows that personal preference does not have much impact on the learning of colour names and is probably related to other factors, such as context and culture.
