Fig. 10.

Illustration of dress scores. This diagram illustrates how dress scores were calculated, with the blue-black combination forming the negative pole (−2) on the left, and white-gold the positive pole of the score (+2) on the right side. A score of zero meant that the two colour terms were completely ambiguous along the blue-black vs. white-gold dimension. This is the case for example for blue-gold. Details on principal component scores used in the main experiment as dress and jacket scores are presented in Table S2. Note that the principal component for DressO was very similar to the conceptually derived dimension of the dress score illustrated here.
