Color in the interior is one of the factors that affect the emotional condition of children. There are several types of color groups with different characters and influences on human emotions, one of which is the pastel color group. This study aims to determine the effect of pastel colors on the interior of children's emotions and the application of the right pastel colors according to children's preferences in the pediatric dental examination room. This study used a mix-methods exploratory sequential approach in the form of visual experiments by presenting 4 space simulations with monochromatic pastel color compositions of red, blue, yellow, and triadic colors of the three as well as 1 control room. Respondents are students of the Abdurrahman bin Auf Homeschooling Group in Cibinong with an age range of 4-8 years. All data were analyzed through correlation test methods, T-test, and ANOVA. Results identified that children tend to like the basic colors found in the rainbow to be applied to the dental clinic, there are differences in assessment based on education level. This is due to children with higher levels being more able to judge based on visual perception of their environment so that they have stronger color preferences.
