Abstract

Landscape colour influences people’s visual behaviour and preferences. Insufficient exploration has been conducted on people’s colour perception when walking through urban green spaces (UGSs) dominated by green in summer. This study used eye-tracking technology to explore the differences between the visual attention colour (VAC) and space colour (SC), and the effect of spatial form on VAC. Participants were asked to view six walking spaces in two UGSs in Nanjing, China. The results indicated that SC and VAC had correlations in hue variance (yellow), saturation mean, and value variance, but weak correlations in hue mean (green), hue variance (green), and value mean. Additionally, the higher the spatial openness, the more reduction in brightness of the VAC compared to SC. The findings suggest that landscape visual perception studies need to consider the interaction between landscape colour, spatial form, and human top-down visual behaviour to support the design of UGSs.
