An analytic measure of perceptual factors for color composition

Abstract

Color images are usually observed as integrated objects, or called color gestalt. That is why color effect of image is not only affected by the color components themselves, but also determined remarkably by the image constructive frame, which holds the colors. Although, previous researchers have already explored this issue, the conclusions are usually descriptive principles that one should keep in mind for color designing. Precise quantification for image composition of color gestalt is still an ignored field in color research domain. As the use of computer-aided design (CAD) increases in the color design field, more quantifiable measures for constructive feature factors that affect color gestalt are needed. In this article, we introduce a three-dimensional model of image composition that can both quantify the effect of color gestalt and rebuild image composition to acquire certain color effect for color combination. This method pioneers a new perspective of appreciating the influence of image construction on color combination effect, and a new way of researching color by affective computing or Kansei engineering technology. To test the feasibility of the scale model by a usage study, an interactive toolkit was also built. Practice has confirmed that this method is a technical meaning in application technically meaningful approach, and will spur further research on color composition.

A novel method for assessing the chromatic integration of architecture in theKsourianlandscape of M'zab Valley, Algeria

“…A thorough research, accordingly, of colors relations as a factor that can refer to the perceptual similarities or dissimilarities in a Color Gestalt, which is considered as a constructed figuration of color combinations. 50 The theory of color relation is conceived for the comparison of colors. We use it to compare between the two extracted palettes (NP-HSP), relying on Lenclos' geography of color; the latter helps analyze the chromatic peculiarities that are found in architectural environments as well as in urban landscapes in the world's sites.…”

“…This case study aims at analyzing and deciphering the similarities in the two palettes of M'zab, to evaluate the chromatic integration of the Ksourian settlements in their natural landscape. A thorough research, accordingly, of colors relations as a factor that can refer to the perceptual similarities or dissimilarities in a Color Gestalt , which is considered as a constructed figuration of color combinations …”

A systematic approach of predicting color preference on the basis of gray relational grade

“…They classified various photos of Taiwanese culture and collected dozens of adjective vocabularies by reviewing relevant literature. After that, they carried out a questionnaire survey on Taiwanese culture by asking respondents to rank 7 groups of adjective vocabularies for the reference of color‐matching for new products. Hsiao and Tsai also used the gray theory to predict consumers' preference of baby strollers from colorful images for boys and girls separately.…”

“…Studies have verified that colors play an important role in attracting potential customers. A product that comes with colors from a limited or standard range will not satisfy the diversified demands of individual consumer …”

“…A product that comes with colors from a limited or standard range will not satisfy the diversified demands of individual consumer. 7 The study by Hsiao took the photo of a person and captured the skin color data in order to investigate the influence of the effect of R, G, and B values on costume colors 4 . CIELAB is the abbreviation for CIE 1976 (L*,a*,b*) color space, in which the coordinates are represented by L*,a*, b* 11 .…”
