Why do we see red, feel blue, or turn green with envy? Are such associations between colour and emotion fundamental to our shared cognitive architecture? Or are they cultural creations learned through our languages and traditions? To answer these questions and provide baseline data on colour-emotion associations, we launched the International Colour-Emotion Association Survey in 2015. The survey is currently running in 43 languages and 81 countries. Together with more than 100 collaborators, we have collected over 10’000 responses, and this number is constantly growing.
