Figure 2.

Stacked bar charts showing how often participants chose the six GEW intensity ratings (unweighted average proportions across countries). Each panel represents a colour term. On the horizontal axis, emotions on the left-hand side of ‘compassion’ have negative valence, emotions on the right-hand side of ‘compassion’ have positive valence and ‘compassion’ is neutral in valence [37]. The grey areas represent the average proportion of participants that selected rating category 0 (i.e. no colour–emotion association; squares on the GEW) for a given combination of colour term and emotion. The red areas represent the proportion of participants that selected rating category 5 (i.e. the strongest emotion intensity; largest circles on the GEW). The blue, green, yellow and orange areas represent the proportions of increasing intermediate ratings of emotion intensity (smallest to second largest circle on the GEW).
