Interview Data on Color Adjectives for Visually Impaired Individuals

Ching-Yi Wang's research data investigates how visually impaired individuals construct color experiences through multisensory stimulation. The dataset includes semi-structured interviews with six participants describing nine colors based on tactile, olfactory, auditory, and emotional cues, and a follow-up questionnaire with fifteen participants. The file was last updated on figshare in May 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyzing cross-sensory associations for color perception based on tactile and auditory cues mentioned in the description
• Studying the categorization of color adjectives into emotional, taste, appearance, time, and abstract types
• Investigating preferences for specific colors (black, green, yellow, red) among visually impaired individuals

Strengths

• The study includes a follow-up questionnaire with fifteen participants to examine recognition and applicability of identified adjectives
• The research elicited descriptions for nine specific colors (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, white, gray, black)
• The data is licensed under CC-BY-4.0, allowing for open reuse

Limitations

• The dataset is 53.5 KB, indicating a very limited scope and likely small textual content
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
