Abstract
This study aimed to assess how human perception of strawberries and blueberries is influenced by different lighting conditions, including variations in illumination levels and correlated color temperature (CCT), as well as different viewing backgrounds, using light-emitting diode (LED) color-changing features. Fifty participants, comprising 25 males and 25 females, were tasked with evaluating the visual appearance of strawberries and blueberries against two distinct backgrounds under three illuminance levels (400lx, 800lx, 1200lx) and five CCT values (2700K, 3300K, 3900K, 4500K, and 5100K), resulting in a total of fifteen light sources with varying illuminations and CCTs. The findings of the experiment revealed that both illuminance level and CCT significantly influenced the perceived color appearance of strawberries and blueberries. It was observed that strawberries appeared more visually appealing under light sources with higher illuminance levels and lower CCT, whereas blueberries were found to be more attractive under light sources with lower illuminance levels and relatively lower CCT. Additionally, concerning the background color, strawberries exhibited enhanced attractiveness specifically under conditions of 1000lx illuminance and 2700K CCT, particularly against a black background.
