Abstract

This study used double comparison and testing methods, using 11 square color images as experimental materials to present colors and explore the color preferences of preschool children aged 3-6 in a public kindergarten in Chengdu. The results showed that the color preferences of children aged 3-6 from high to low were yellow, green, orange, red, and blue, with young children preferring bright and bright colors; There is no age difference in children's color preferences, but there is a significant gender difference. Girls like yellow, while boys like green; Girls are more willing to choose their favorite colors than boys.
