Abstract

This article addresses the possibility of supporting the construction of emotions in the participants of Interactive Digital Narratives (IDN) by means of colours. The article uses goal models for expressing protostories. The core of the article consists of the case study where two colour synes-thetes were asked to choose colours for eight emotions. Thereafter the same synesthetes were asked to choose colours for the emotions that support the attainment of goals in the Cinderella narrative, which serves as an example protostory. The article also discusses the perspectives for applying the method proposed by us to using colours in constructing emotions by IDNs.
