This paper deals with study of color deviation caused due to changing screen angle combinations in process color lithographic offset printing. The printing test chart comprises of conventional and customized angles for process colors.

The purpose of this experiment was to examine the effect of different web page text/background color combinations on users’ retention and subjective perception. One-hundred and thirty-six participants were randomly assigned to one of four groups: black text on a white background (BW), white on black (WB), light blue on dark blue (B), or teal on black (TB). They then studied two Web pages, with ...

There are individual differences in color vision. It is difficult for people with defective cones in the retina to recognize the difference of specific colors. We propose a system using a camera and a projecctor to present color information for color vision deficiency. When there are indistinguishable colors in real objects, the system converts the color to a distinguishable color for projectio...

Previous studies of preference for and harmony of color combinations have produced confusing results. For example, some claim that harmony increases with hue similarity, whereas others claim that it decreases. We argue that such confusions are resolved by distinguishing among three types of judgments about color pairs: (1) preference for the pair as a whole, (2) harmony of the pair as a whole, ...

Color has a major impact on Human Computer Interaction. Although there is a very thin line between appropriate and inappropriate use of color, if used properly, color can be a powerful tool to improve the usefulness of an interactive interface in a wide variety of areas. On the contrary the excessive or inappropriate use of color can severely hinder the functionality and usability of an interfa...

We propose a color-based image descriptor that can be used for image indexing based on high-level semantic concepts. The descriptor is based on Kobayashi’s Color Image Scale, which is a system that includes 130 basic colors combined in 1170 three-color combinations. Each combination is labeled with one of 180 high-level semantic concepts, like ”elegant”, ”romantic”, ”provocative”, etc. Moreover...

In this study, legibility of web pages which are designed for instructional purposes were compared according to font types and foreground/background color combinations. Three different font styles which are sans-serif (Verdana), serif (Times New Roman) and monotype (Courier New) were used. 15 background/foreground color combinations were investigated; basic colors that are available on most bro...

The objective of the study was to establish a pink threshold and simulate the pink defect in cooked chicken breast meat with treatment combinations that would induce significant changes in the color of raw and cooked meat. The subjective pink threshold used in judging pink discoloration was established at a* = 3.8. Samples of three color groups (normal, lighter than normal, and darker than norm...

Kandinsky proposed a correspondence theory that suggests associations between specific colors and shapes (i.e., circle-blue, square-red, triangle-yellow). Makin and Wuerger tested the theory using the Implicit Association Test (IAT) and did not find clear evidence for Kandinsky's color-shape associations among British participants. In the present study, we first replicated the previous study am...
