中文摘要：

前人研究表明：年龄影响颜色偏爱,抽象色块颜色偏爱不同于具体产品颜色偏爱。因此本研究在抽象颜色偏爱实验基础上通过设计高保真网页研究青年人、老年人的网页颜色偏爱（包括主题色及其与文本色的搭配）。结果表明：（1）年龄、性别不会影响网页颜色偏爱。（2）浅蓝色、蓝色比较适合作为网页主题色。（3）网页主题采用不同颜色时,被试对文本色偏爱表现出较高的规律性,黑色、蓝色更适合作为网页文本色。

Based on the results of Experiment 1,18 web pages（combined by 6 theme colors and 3 text colors） were designed.Experiment 2 was carried out to investigate the specific color preference of the 18 web pag
