This essay explores the notions of affective or emotional “coloration”, “splendor”, “light”, or “shine”, as well as the notion of Stimmung (mood, temper), as both of them are expounded in Husserl’s project Studien zur Struktur des Bewusstseins and in two other texts considered as precedents of the Studien: the “Notes on the Doctrine of Attention and Interest” of 1893 or 1894 (in Husserliana XXXVIII and a passage in § 15b) of the Fifth of the Logical Investigations. The review of the Studien highlights a first notion of coloration as “emotional sensation” (Gefühlsempfindung), then a second notion as a transcending (or transcendent) affective or emotive coloration. After the exposition of the emotive “expansions” or “transferences”, it reaches the notion of a mood (Stimmung), situates it within the scheme of affective experiences, and describes their unitary character, their motivation, and their peculiar intentionality, pointing to their relation with background consciousness and with the socalled (by Husserl) “stream of sentiment”. With this, there is enough ground for a revision of the notion of a mood, which is left for another essay.
