The application of blue and white porcelain patterns has made traditional Chinese culture known to a growing number foreigners. Modern fashion design become more diversified in styles, colors silhouettes. Increasing numbers designers at home abroad are drawing inspiration from for haute couture ready-to-wear design.

Kandinsky proposed a fundamental correspondence between primary colors and elementary forms: yellow – triangle, red – square, and blue – circle. This theory evoked a strong opposition among artists, design experts, and researchers. This theory was tested in two experiments. In Experiment 1 non-artist university students (N = 284) were directly asked about the color-form assignment using a modif...

An acyclic edge coloring of a graph is a proper edge coloring such that there are no bichromatic cycles. The acyclic chromatic index of a graph $G$ denoted by $chi_a '(G)$ is the minimum number $k$ such that there is an acyclic edge coloring using $k$ colors. The maximum degree in $G$ denoted by $Delta(G)$, is the lower bound for $chi_a '(G)$. $P$-cuts introduced in this paper acts as a powerfu...

An edge-colored graph G is rainbow connected, if any two vertices are connected by a path whose edges have distinct colors. The rainbow connection number of a connected graph G, denoted rc(G), is the smallest number of colors that are needed in order to make G rainbow connected. In this paper we show that rc(G) ≤ 3 if |E(G)| ≥ ( n−2 2 ) + 2, and rc(G) ≤ 4 if |E(G)| ≥ ( n−3 2 ) + 3. These bounds...

Abstract: It is well known that one can color the plane by 7 colors with no monochromatic configuration consisting of the two endpoints of a unit segment. In sharp contrast we show that for any finite set of points K in the plane, and for any finite integer s, one can assign a list of s distinct colors to each point of the plane, so that any coloring of the plane that colors each point by a col...

Music-to-color associations show emotionally-mediated cross-modal correspondences (Palmer et al., 2013): people choose colors as going best with music when their emotional content matches (e.g., happy-looking colors go best with happysounding music). What musical/acoustic features underlie such correspondences? And are music-to-texture correspondences also evident? Experiments using highly-cont...

We present a method to calculate sets of RGB primaries that are white-point independent and have suitable gamut properties when evaluated with regards to surface colors. These primaries can be used as a basis for defining an output-referred color encoding intended for print applications. The resulting RGB sensors are sharp, i.e. decorrelated, emphasizing again that for imaging applications, the...

This paper presents a study on the effect of glittering and reflective objects with different colors to the output voltagedistance characteristics of Sharp GP2D120 IR Sensor, which operates by employing the principle of single point triangulation. The study was conducted by using a compact disk and plastic materials with four different colors, in which the distance for each of them was measured...

The tanagers (Passeriformes: Emberizidae: Thraupinae) are a diverse group of mostly Neotropical birds with a wide range of feeding morphologies, behaviors, plumage patterns and colors, and habitat preferences. Phylogenetic relationships of genera in this lineage were investigated using cytochrome b sequence data. This study indicates that the genera Euphonia and Chlorophonia (traditionally cons...
