Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a training tool for performing training to acquire a sense of color.

Background Art

[0002] Conventionally, in fields such as apparel and interior, proposals, designs, etc. based on the theory of color harmony have often been made.

[0003] The theory of color harmony is one of the research fields that attempts to systematize the mechanism of harmony for color combinations that humans psychologically feel comfortable with. By making proposals, designs, etc. based on this theory, it becomes possible to create excellent product designs that strongly appeal to the sensibilities of consumers.

[0004] Regarding the ability to distinguish colors necessary to acquire such a sense of color harmony, an invention related to a tool for acquiring this has been proposed in Patent Document 1.

[0005] The tool described in Patent Document 1 is composed of a pair of two cards with letters, symbols, or patterns displayed on the back and color displays on the front, where the front and back have the same display, and another pair of two cards with different front and back displays from this pair of cards. By performing color matching using this, the user (especially children) can, in addition to color discrimination and memory of color types, also perform memory of numbers through the combination of cards.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0007] By the way, in recent years, a concept called personal color, which means a color that harmonizes with an individual's innate body color and atmosphere, has become established. This personal color is classified by yellow base (yellow base), blue base (blue base), and season, and the types of colors are diverse within each classification.

[0008] And the sense of color harmony based on personal color is not something that can be acquired simply by tools like Patent Document 1 that perform color matching of the same color. Since it can also be influenced by an individual's sensibility, preferences, etc., there has been a situation where it is difficult to acquire the above sense through training.

[0009] For this reason, especially for designers, it has been difficult to make objective proposals, designs, etc. based on personal color, and there has been a situation where an effective concept like personal color in recent product design cannot be widely utilized.

[0010] The present invention has been made in view of the above actual situation, and an object thereof is to provide a training tool for suitably acquiring a sense of color based on personal color.

Means for Solving the Problem

[0011] The present invention for solving the above problem is a training tool including a plurality of card members in the shape of substantially plate-like bodies, Each of the card members has a color display surface for displaying a predetermined color and a classification display surface for displaying the classification to which the color belongs. On each of the color display surfaces, the different colors are displayed based on personal color. The classification display surface includes an identification portion for discriminatively displaying the classification of the color displayed on the corresponding color display surface. An identification portion main body is provided in the identification portion for displaying whether the color displayed on the corresponding color display surface belongs to yellow base or blue base.

[0012] According to the present invention, a user can perform the following training. That is, the user arranges each card member with the color display surface facing up, selects a plurality of colors that are harmonious among the colors displayed on an arbitrary color display surface and are felt to be beautiful as a color scheme, and flips the card member. Then, the user checks whether the selected colors are included in the same classification through the identification unit main body of the classification display surface.

[0013] Thereby, the user can suitably acquire the sense of color harmony based on the personal color based on an objective judgment through the identification unit main body.

[0014] In a preferred form of the present invention, the identification unit is provided with a season display unit that displays the season to which the color belongs.

[0015] With such a configuration, the user can, for the color displayed on an arbitrary card member, in addition to determining whether it belongs to a yellow base or a blue base, also determine to which season among spring, summer, autumn, and winter it belongs. Thereby, the user can suitably acquire a more accurate sense of color based on the classification of the four seasons, which is a basic classification in personal color, and can set the criterion for correct / incorrect judgment to a four-choice or two-choice according to the level of their sense of color.

[0016] In a preferred form of the present invention, the identification unit is provided with a direction display unit that displays the direction corresponding to the season displayed on the season display unit.

[0017] With such a configuration, for a user who has a sense of disharmony in the relationship between the season and the color, the sense of color can be acquired in terms of the relationship between the direction and the color.

[0018] In a preferred form of the present invention, the season display unit displays the season determined based on the color system, and the color system is a light color system and a dull color system.

[0019] With such a configuration, since the actual classification of personal colors is classified in more detail than lightness, saturation, clarity, etc., and the season is determined and displayed with relatively easily distinguishable light color systems and dull color systems, it is not too difficult to understand as training and can have an appropriate level of difficulty.

[0020] In a preferred form of the present invention, the classification display surface includes a color name display portion that displays the color name of the color displayed on the corresponding color display surface.

[0021] With such a configuration, in addition to acquiring a color sense, the user can also memorize the color name.

Effects of the Invention

[0022] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a training tool for suitably acquiring a color sense based on personal colors.

Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0024] Hereinafter, a training tool according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. The following embodiment is an example of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the following embodiment. In these figures, the symbols X and K indicate the training tool according to this embodiment and the card member provided therein.

[0025] Here, the card member K belongs to one of four season classifications, which combines classification based on yellow base (hereinafter referred to as "yellow base") and blue base (hereinafter referred to as "cool base"), and classification based on clear colors and muddy colors, based on the colors displayed on the color display surface K1 described later. In addition, in this embodiment, warm undertones and clear tones are classified as "spring," cool undertones and muddy tones are classified as "summer," warm undertones and muddy tones are classified as "autumn," and cool undertones and clear tones are classified as "winter."

[0026] <Configuration> As shown in FIG. 1 or 2, the training tool X includes a plurality of card members K each having a substantially thin plate shape. In this embodiment, the training tool X includes 24 card members K in total, six for each season.

[0027] In FIG. 1, each card member K is arranged by classification, with the boundaries of the four classifications being virtually separated by dashed lines, with the upper left being classified as "spring," the upper right as "summer," the lower left as "autumn," and the lower right as "winter."

[0028] Each card member K has a roughly rectangular shape, for example, about 50 mm x 90 mm, and has a color display surface K1 that displays a predetermined color and a classification display surface K2 that displays the classification to which the displayed color belongs.

[0029] As shown in FIG. 1, each color display surface K1 displays mutually different (non-overlapping) colors based on personal colors over substantially the entire surface. That is, the colors displayed on the color display surfaces K1 of the 24 card members K are all different, and are arranged so that six cards belong to each of the four categories equally.

[0030] As shown in Figure 2, each classification display surface K2 includes an identification section R that identifiably displays the classification of the color displayed on the corresponding color display surface K1, and a color name display section C that displays the color name of the color.

[0031] In Figure 2, as in Figure 1, the boundaries between the four categories are virtually separated by dashed lines, with the upper left being "spring," the upper right being "summer," the lower left being "autumn," and the lower right being "winter." Furthermore, since the recognition unit R displays the same content for each classification, one card member K is shown for each classification in FIG.

[0032] The discrimination part R is provided with a discrimination part main body R1 that displays whether the color belongs to a yellow base or a blue base, a season display part R2 that displays the season to which the color belongs, and a direction display part R3 that displays the direction corresponding to the season displayed on the season display part R2.

[0033] The identification unit body R1 is placed in the center of the classification display surface K2 and is composed of a pattern f indicating warm or cool undertones and text t indicating the combination of warm / cool undertones with clear / dull colors, which is the basis for the classification to which the person belongs.

[0034] In this embodiment, design f is a character modeled after a fox, and can be distinguished by its different appearance depending on whether the person is warm-toned or cool-toned, but this is not limited to this, and any design can be used as long as it allows for identification of whether the person is warm-toned or cool-toned. The text t is displayed in the same color as the color of the season displayed in the season display section R2.

[0035] The season display section R2 displays the season as text above the identification section main body R1, but it may also be displayed as a pattern that evokes each season.

[0036] The direction display section R3 displays the direction as text adjacent to and below the season display section R2, but it may also be displayed as a pattern such as a compass.

[0037] The color name display section C displays different color names for each card member K as text adjacent to and below the identification section R.

[0038] <Training method> Hereinafter, an example of a training method using the training tool X having the above configuration will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 6.

[0039] <<Training method 1>> First, the user shuffles each card member K arranged on a predetermined placement surface so that the color display surface K1 faces upward, and appropriately aligns them to obtain the state shown in FIG. 3.

[0040] Next, the user selects six card members K with colors that are harmonious and aesthetically pleasing as a color scheme from among the colors displayed on each color display surface K1. At this time, it is assumed that the user selects each card member K indicated by the arrow in FIG. 3.

[0041] Finally, as shown in FIG. 4, the user flips each selected card member K and checks whether the selected colors are included in the same classification via the identification section main body R1. Thereby, the user can objectively judge the degree of acquisition of their own sense of color harmony according to the number of the same identification section main bodies R1. In this embodiment, since the user selects four card members K that display colors belonging to the "spring" classification among the selected card members K, it can be judged that there is generally no mistake in the user's sense of color harmony.

[0042] The user then turns each inverted card member K over again, turning each color display surface K1 to the front, and repeats the above process, thereby acquiring a sense of color harmony based on personal colors.

[0043] In the above-mentioned training method 1, an example was given in which the selected color classification was checked to see if there was any variation within the four seasonal classifications, but training may also be performed to see if there is any variation within the two classifications of warm or cool undertones (or clear or muddy colors). In this case, the user selects 12 card members K having colors that are harmonious and that the user finds beautiful as a color scheme. This makes it easier to distinguish colors.

[0044] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned training method 1, the recognition unit main body R1 is not used as an indicator for strict judgment of correctness or incorrectness, but is used to grasp the general tendency of one's own sense of color harmony (whether there is any variation in the classification of the selected colors). Recently, the training method is not limited to the above, and a method using the recognition unit main body R1 as an index for strict correct / incorrect judgment can also be considered, as follows.

[0045] <<Training Method 2>> That is, when the state shown in FIG. 4 is reached, the user can train to select all the card members K that belong to the "spring" category, for example. At this time, the user has selected two card members K that display colors belonging to the "winter" category, so by flipping over each of these card members K again and setting aside, for example, the four card members belonging to the "spring" category, the state shown in Figure 5 is achieved.

[0046] Next, the user selects the remaining two card members K that display colors that are determined to belong to the "spring" category. At this time, it is assumed that the user has selected card member K indicated by the arrow in FIG.

[0047] Finally, as shown in FIG. 6, the user flips each selected card member K to check the correctness of his / her judgment. At this time, since the user has correctly selected the card members K displaying the colors belonging to the classification of "spring", these two card members K are, for example, set aside.

[0048] Then, the user will similarly perform the discrimination of the above-described colors and the confirmation of the correctness for other classifications.

[0049] In the above-described training method 2, each incorrectly selected card member K is flipped and re-discriminated in the same arrangement. However, the user may flip these card members K, shuffle them including the unselected card members K, and then re-discriminate.

[0050] Also, in the above-described training method 2, the criterion for the correctness determination is the four classifications (i.e., four-choice) according to the season. However, a training method may be used in which the colors belonging to any of the two classifications of yellow-based or blue-based (or bright color system or dull color system) are discriminated (i.e., two-choice). Thereby, the difficulty level of the color discrimination can be reduced.

[0051] Also, in the above-described training method 2, it is not necessarily a training method in which a plurality of cards are selected together for each classification to check the correctness of the user's judgment. The user may flip each card member K one by one to check the correctness. The criterion for the correctness determination at this time can be set to four-choice or two-choice according to the level of the user's color sense as described above.

[0052] <Effect> According to the present embodiment, a color sense for discriminating colors belonging to a yellow base or a blue base can be preferably acquired.

[0053] In addition, the season display unit R2 enables the user to preferably acquire a more accurate color perception based on the classification of four seasons, and the criteria for correct / incorrect determination can be set to four choices or two choices according to the level of the user's color perception.

[0054] In addition, the direction display unit R3 enables a user who feels a sense of incongruity in the relationship between the season and the color to acquire a color perception through the relationship between the direction and the color.

[0055] In addition, since the classification of seasons is determined based on light colors and dull colors, training with an appropriate level of difficulty that is not too difficult to distinguish is possible.

[0056] In addition, with the color name display unit C, the user can not only acquire a color perception but also remember the color name.

[0057] <Modified Example> Note that the various shapes, dimensions, etc. of each component shown in the above-described embodiment are merely examples, and can be variously changed based on design requirements and the like.

[0058] For example, the number of card members K is not limited to 24 cards of 6 cards × 4 seasons, and the difficulty level of discrimination can be adjusted by appropriately increasing or decreasing the number.

[0059] In addition, the Munsell value of the color displayed on the corresponding color display surface K1 may be displayed on the classification display surface K2.
