This study examined the role of color attributes (lightness and saturation) on children's color preferences for interior room colors. It also investigated children's most preferred colors among each of the five major hue families in the Munsell color system using scale-models. Previous color preference studies have typically been done with small color chips or papers, which are very different from seeing a color applied on wall surfaces. A simulation method allowed for investigating the value of color in real contexts and controlling confounding variables. Forty-five color samples were displayed on scale-models to 63 children ages 7-11 years old. This study identified children's most preferred colors among each of the five major hue families in Munsell color system. It also demonstrated that saturation was positively correlated with children's preferences in the red, green, blue, and purple hue families. In the yellow hue family, interestingly, lightness has a positive correlation with preferences. Children's gender differences were found in that girls prefer red and purple more than boys. These findings lead to color application guidelines for designers to understand better color and eventually to create improved environments for children and their families. V

“…A Subcommittee of the Optical Society of America has revised this system [9], The subcommittee was organized in 1939 to examine the colour spacing in the Book o f Color, which was published by Munscll Color Company [ ll|. In the Munsell system, colour differences arc represented as the distance between points in a cylindrical space defined by vertical axes of value (V) or lightness, radial axes of chroma (C) or saturation and circular axes of hue (H) [12]. Browning consisted of increased hue (H) and saturation (C) but reduced lightness (V).…”

The purpose of the present study was to examine the effect of non-enzymatic glycosylation and subsequent heating on the browning of the plantar stratum corneum and the finger-nail, and to elucidate the pathogenesis of the yellow skin and the yellow nail seen in diabetic subjects. We incubated stratum corneum and nail from non-diabetics in 0 (control) 10 (only nail) 20 (only nail) 100 and 250 mM glucose buffer at 37°C for 5 days. These glycosylated samples were dialysed against distilled water for 96 h. Distilled water was changed every 24 h. Then samples were dried for 24 h. The extent of non-enzymatic glycosylation was measured by furosine content. Each 5 mg of sample was hydrolysed by 6 N HCl and processed for measurement of furosine by high-performance liquid chromatography. The rest of each sample was stored at 37, 42 (only nail), 47 and 52 °C for 14 days. Browning of the stratum corneum was assessed macroscopically and that of the nail by spectrophotometry. Based on their spectrophotometric reflectances, Munsell’s scores (H = hue score V = lightness score C = saturation score) and (H + C)/V were calculated for objective evaluation of browning. Incubation of the stratum corneum and nail with glucose buffer increased their non-enzymatic glycosylation (furosine) dose dependently. Macroscopically, the browning of the stratum corneum was enhanced in proportion to the glucose concentration and storage temperature. However, samples incubated in 10 and 20 mM glucose and stored at 42 °C did not show visible browning. Munsell’s score of the nail samples treated by glycosylation and heating showed increased hue and saturation but reduced lightness. (H + Q/V values of these nail samples were significantly higher than those of the control. We could not detect any fluorescence with Wood light in the browned samples. The present in vitro study demonstrated that the browning of the stratum corneum and the nail depended on the extent of both non-enzymatic glycosylation and storage temperature. We suggested a hypothesis that the non-enzymatic glycosylation and the storage temperature of the stratum corneum and the nail might be a contributory factor in the development of yellow skin and yellow nail in diabetic patients.

“…The hypothesis was tested as follows. Through the technique of multidimensional scaling, scientists have shown that perceptual distances between colors may be measured on the Munsell color solid (Indow 1974;Farmer, Taylor, and Belyavin 1980). The limits of pigment technology constrain the Munsell solid with respect to allowable values and chromas; humans can discern colors darker, lighter, and more deeply saturated than any available through dyes.…”

“…On the psychological solid. perceptual distances correspond to weighted Euclidean distances: that is, because one step of value is perceptually equivalent to 3.76 steps of chroma or of hue (Farmer, Taylor, and Belyavin 1980). the relative perceptual distance between two color foci "x" and "y" is not the Euclidean For each focus, perceptual distances between it and the other ten foci were computed and summed in order to determine the relative nearness of each focus to the other ten foci.…”
