Study on Gradation of Colors Corresponding to KANSEI Words

Abstract

Abstract:In this paper, a method to generate gradation of typical coloring techniques in order to promote a content production environment in consideration of KANSEI (sensitivity) engineering is discussed. We considered a color cube with coordinates in three axes, representing RGB 3-dimensional space. There are various gradations in a color cube. We have developed an interactive tool to generate a gradation by displaying the inner area of the color cube. We then proposed a new method to generate gradation using this tool. Regarding parameters of display area, we considered inputting pattern data from color scatter charts obtained from paintings or photos. The possibility of a tool which can generate gradation from images corresponding to the KANSEI words is discussed.

A study of color transfer methods with color gradation and distribution of nature picture

“…The study to correspond the color gradation obtained from nature pictures to "impression words" has been studied [1]. As impression words might reflect human impression, the authors assumed that the extracted color gradation might also represent the human impression.…”
