Abstract: In visual applications, the color and width of an object¡¦s outline determine the feelings invoked in the viewer. This study investigates the effect of the outline color and width on the preference of young children for objects presented in PDA-based learning applications. The impact of three different outline colors [the original object color, a darker color of the same hue and saturation as the original object color, and black] and three different outline widths [1 pixel, 2 pixels, and 4 pixels] on the visual preferences of young children is examined in a series of experiments conducted with kindergarten and elementary school students in Taiwan. The analysis of variance results suggest that young children prefer the outline of the object to be the same color as the object itself or at most to have a thin frame with the same color as the original object, but with a slightly darker shade.
