This study was designed to examine two closely related issues in color coding.. (1) what impact sociocultural factors and motivation would have upon the color coding ability of university students, and (2) how these students developed their color vocabulary over a certain period of time. One hundred and twenty native Chinese speakers (sixty women; sixty men) drawn from two universities in China were used as subjects. The demographic and sociocultural backgrounds of these students varied significantly. Forty color chips chosen from a total corpus of 120 colors were employed as stimuli. The results indicated both significant between-group and within-group contrasts. It was found that sociocultural factors constituted an important determinant in relation to group performance in color naming. Moreove1; factors such as learning motivation, frustration at poor performance, cognitive enhancement of color knowledge, and experimental effect were found to playa decisive role in students' accumulation of color terms.
