Abstract Specificity on chromatic perception and cognition exists in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). In order to understand the influencing factors of color perception in ASD, the current investigation chose abstract colors as the stimulus materials and assessed two experiments (color preference; chromatic discrimination) in children with ASD and typically developing (TD) children matched on age and sex in order to discuss the relationship between color preference and chromatic discrimination in ASD. The study revealed that: (1) Difference exists between ASD and TD in color preference, the former’s order of color preference is red, green, blue, yellow, cyan, purple and orange, while the latter’s order of color preference is cyan, blue, green, yellow, red, purple and orange; (2) The sensitivity of chromatic difference is found to be reduced in ASD, which reflects in that the scores on both three levels of the task in chromatic discrimination in ASD is significant lower than in TD, and this difference will be more and more obvious when the difficulty is the task goes down; (3) The achievement of chromatic discrimination task on other five color regions improves as the grade of color preference on corresponding color regions goes down except for yellow and blue in TD, whilst the achievement of chromatic discrimination task on other six color regions improves as the grade of color preference on corresponding color regions goes down except for red in ASD. Combining previous studies, the current investigation put forward to a hypotheses below: (1) Individuals’ ability of chromatic discrimination are influenced by both their physiological conditions
