Abstract
Color is a powerful communication tool that may be used from an early age to convey activity, modify emotion, and even influence psychological responses. Colors are efficient in evoking various emotions and capturing their attention. Color also has an important effect on the cognitive development of young students, and it influences intentions, performance, and emotional processes. Therefore, colors are used as an important medium to aid teaching. In HCI, digital content consists of colored texts, colored images, and other visual elements that serve as a platform for interaction. Previous studies have demonstrated indisputably the association between positive/negative perception and color, but a significant area that has not yet been investigated is how children associate color with emotions in Computer Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL). In order to get an understanding of how children perceive color in the context of emotions in a collaborative setting, the researchers in this study invited students to use an online platform to a pool of 60 students from different schools that allowed them to create color and emotion-based digital content. The results showed that students used a monochromatic color scheme primarily to establish their emotions.
