環境美學是在西方現象學的基礎上興起的對人與環境的關係的美學和哲學研究。現象學旨在突破二元對立，將“存在”作為一種不斷生成的狀態進行直觀。環境美學提出人完全浸入環境，與環境互相生成的介入模式。而這與中國“天人合一”的哲學思想以及由此昇发的美學領域對於“意境”和“情景交融”的追求形成了跨時空的對話。通過環境美學來體驗蕭紅的作品，實際上就是將蕭紅的作品作為一個逐漸展開、生成的世界，並探究這個世界是如何“存在”的。色彩是一種突出的、原始的視覺體驗，是觀察和表現世界的重要途徑。通过對蕭紅作品中的“色彩”的探究可以發現，紅色、白色、綠色、金色是其最常用的色彩。而這些色彩的搭配及其帶有的情緒情感，在蕭紅作品序列中發生了有規律的變化。對這種變化的探究可以更好地感知其構建的世界的氣氛和情感以及作品的“真實”內涵。

Environmental aesthetics is an aesthetic and philosophical study of the relationship between man and environment, which is based on phenomenology. Phenomenology emphasizes the breakthrough of binary opposition and the experience of "exist" as a state of continuous generation. Environmental aesthetics proposes a mode of intervention where people are completely immersed in the environment and interact with it. And this has formed a dialogue that spans time and space with Chinese philosophy and aesthetics of "man is an integral part of nature", the "artistic conception" and "the fusion of feelings with the nature settings". Experiencing Xiao Hong's works through environmental aesthetics is essentially treating her works as a gradually unfolding and generated world, and exploring how this world "exists". Color is a prominent and primitive visual experience, which is an important way to observe and express the world. Exploring the "colors" in Xiao Hong's works reveals that red, white, green, and gold are the most commonly used colors. And the combination of these colors and their implied emotions have undergone regular changes in the sequence of Xiao Hong's works. By exploring this change, people can better perceive the atmosphere and emotions of the world she constructs, as well as the "real" connotation of the work.
