Color Charts, Esthetics, and Subjective Randomness

Abstract: Color charts, or grids of evenly spaced multicolored dots or squares, appear in the work of modern artists and designers. Often the artist ⁄ designer distributes the many colors in a way that could be described as ''random,'' that is, without an obvious pattern. We conduct a statistical analysis of 125 ''random-looking'' art and design color charts and show that they differ significantly from truly random color charts in the average distance between adjacent colors. We argue that this attribute generalizes res… Show more

“…Given the connection between hiding behavior and subjective randomness in addition to the tendency to place consecutive numbers far away from each other (Test 1), we wished to determine whether the advent calendars show a higher-than-normal total alternation. A higher-than-normal distance–dependent alternation total has already been observed in subjectively random color charts (Sanderson, 2012).…”

“…For the sake of completeness, it is worth mentioning other important fields that deal with irregularity (in the graph theoretical sense) and redundancy (in the information theoretical sense): combinatorics (particularly combinatorial geometry) [49, pp. 78-81] [87], packing [88], tiling [89], tessellation [50], coding [90] [91], and randomness [92] [93] [94] [95].…”

“…Researches about similarities and differences in artist's identity were also undertaken (Lindholm, 2015). Among particular features of the artist's identity, researchers underline, randomness (Sanderson, 2012;Wagner, 2020), individualism (Kenning, 2009;Siedell and Gibson, 1999), sensitivity (Callaghan and Rochat, 2003;Koide et al, 2015), charisma (Dreijmanis, 2005;Senior and Kelly, 2016), honesty (Randrianasolo and Sala, 2016;Syrko, 2019), a tendency to plan (Koponen et al, 2018), a tendency to risk (Kleppe, 2017).…”
