Previous research has identified the need for studies that explore new colour-emotion associations, compare these findings cross-culturally and are based on large samples. Some previous colour-emotion associations have been identified. However, few studies have investigated gender differences and positive associations for national flag colours. Based on these facts four research problems are: 1) What kind of associations can be found between emotions and colours among the Finnish, the Chinese, the Norwegian and the Greek adults? 2) what are the strongest colour- emotion associations among these nations? 3) what are the main differences in the strongest colour-emotion associations between Finland and the other three nations? and 3) what is the relationship between colours in the country flag with associations related to these colours? The data (n=689) is based on an international study led by the University of Lausanne in Switzerland.
