Contextual decoupling in color preference: multimodal evidence from spatial evaluation in makerspaces.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Introduction: Color preference research has mainly focused on isolated color samples, whereas architectural color is experienced within spatial and functional contexts. This study examined whether abstract hue preference remains stable when comparable chromatic conditions are evaluated in a makerspace-like interior. Methods: A three-stage design was used. Experiment 1 established baseline preferences for ten Munsell hues under D65 illumination. Experiment 2 embedded hue and saturation manipulations into a simulated makerspace and collected Preference and Comfort ratings together with eye-tracking and baseline-normalized pupillometric data under luminance control. Experiment 3 tested the stability of the findings through an online replication and a multi-viewpoint validation. Results: Preference orderings observed for isolated samples did not remain stable in the spatial context. Cooler or moderately chromatic conditions were generally rated more positively than vivid warm treatments. Saturation effects were non-monotonic, with moderate conditions outperforming the most intense treatment. Visually intense conditions attracted attention without producing more favorable evaluations, and pupillometric differences varied systematically across conditions. Discussion: These findings suggest that environmental color evaluation in cognitively demanding settings is better understood as context-sensitive spatial appraisal rather than as a direct extension of abstract hue liking.
