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.

本研究旨在验证成人与儿童群体中，颜色名称与其各自偏好之间的潜在关联。本研究招募300名成年人参与线上测试（平均年龄为30岁，标准差（SD）为1.02），同时招募52名儿童开展线下测试（其中23名为6岁儿童，29名为7岁儿童），测试内容为根据个人偏好对8种颜色进行排序。除棕色与蓝色分别为两组群体中最不受欢迎与最受欢迎的颜色外，我们未发现其余颜色偏好间存在关联。此外，颜色名称与其对应偏好之间存在显著差异，这表明个人偏好对颜色名称学习的影响有限，其更可能与语境、文化等其他因素相关。
