Emotional Experience Design of Medical Working Space Based on Color Semantics

Abstract

AbstractWith the continuous improvement of living standards, the development of modern medical system, the transformation of people’s medical philosophy and the strengthening of medical experience, medical space is in urgent need of improvement, and more and more medical institutions are beginning to pay attention to the humanistic design of human-centeredness in medical space. Research has shown that color in medical space has the role of creating atmosphere, conveying information and aiding treatment. Different colors have different emotional properties, and a good color space experience will have a positive impact on people’s emotions and behavior. Different colors can also have a special effect on certain tissues and organs in the human body as well as on the psyche. The current medical space can be divided into communal space, transitional space and private space. However, in the past, some cases of medical space still have too single tone, too traditional and cold colors, often ignoring different scenes, different users are in different experience needs of space color and other problems. Based on the theoretical knowledge of color semantic symbolic language and color psychological perception, this study will identify the direct psychological effect and indirect psychological effect of color elements on people through literature research method. With reference to the color language image cross-coordinate scale, the matching color scheme will be refined by combining the physiological and psychological needs of different users, as well as the key words of emotion required in the current spatial environment. Through the survey method, different existing medical space cases are selected for generalization, and the color samples of different spaces are extracted by combining with Raul’s color system, which are proportionally assigned and grouped according to the base color, auxiliary color and accent color, and a color sample database is established for grouping. Compare the color scheme habits of each medical institution, and consider the advantages and many considerations of the existing environmental color scheme. Analyze the future trends of medical color schemes and the shortcomings of existing medical color schemes. The color scheme of medical space will be expressed symbolically, associatively, psychologically and metaphorically, and the psychological characteristics will be conveyed in terms of hearing, touch, skin, muscle, smell and taste. This study will take the hospital environment as a carrier, combine the experience needs of each user in different spaces, and produce reasonable color schemes for simulation application, provide medical institutions and designers with a customized color library and color matching tools for medical space based on situational experience, provide inspiration and decision-making suggestions for medical space color design, participate in the design process, and save communication costs. The purpose of this study is to enable the medical industry to scientifically select appropriate colors based on color semantics and color psychology when designing spaces. This paper tries to embody the people-oriented color design in medical space, and to a certain extent, use color factors to improve the user’s perception experience in medical space.KeywordColor perceptionColor semanticsColor healing medical spaceRaul color card
