Moreover, unlike replaceable cleaning tools that require the replacement of sheets, the mop 130 does not generate any waste, making it environmentally friendly.

[0149] The color selection device 1 of the present invention helps to create an optimal presentation of the entranceway or the like using the first color 311.

[0150] [Example 1] In Example 1, the article 100 is a Phalaenopsis orchid. The first colors 311 of the Phalaenopsis orchid are pink, a lighter pink than pink, purple, white, yellow, and orange. The image information 200 corresponding to the color pink represents healing, the image information 200 corresponding to the color lighter than pink represents vitality, the image information 200 corresponding to the color purple represents femininity, the image information 200 corresponding to the color white represents motivation, the image information 200 corresponding to the color yellow represents planning ability, and the image information 200 corresponding to the color orange represents communication ability. The first colors 311 and the image information 200 are stored in association with each other in the storage unit 30. The first color selection unit 40 selects the first color 311 based on the input of the image information 200 from the image information input unit 20.

[0151] The Phalaenopsis orchid may be, for example, a midi Phalaenopsis orchid. Due to its size, the midi Phalaenopsis orchid is often placed on a desk or reception counter rather than a small tabletop. In other words, the image-related information 200 may be information related to the image of the surroundings where the desk or reception counter is used.

[0152] It goes without saying that the above is an example, and the information 200 relating to the first color 311 and the image other than those described above is also included.

[0153] [Example 2] Example 2 is an example in which the article 100 is a mat, more specifically, a mat to be laid at an entrance. The first colors 311 of the mat are pink and yellow-green (leaf green), light pink and light blue, and navy and red, which are the first colors 311 of the article 100. In other words, the first colors 311 are a plurality of first colors 311 that are combined in a predetermined manner.

[0154] Furthermore, the image information 200 is information related to images of seasons, months, and events in the seasons and / or months. More specifically, the image information 200 corresponding to pink and yellow-green (leaf green) is information related to an image of the season, spring, March, and Hinamatsuri, information related to an image of an event in the season and / or month; the image information 200 corresponding to a lighter pink than pink (light pink) and light blue is information related to an image of the season, spring, March, and cherry blossom viewing, information related to an event in the season and / or month; the image information 200 corresponding to navy blue and red is information related to an image of the season, spring, May, and Children's Day, information related to an image of the season and / or month.

[0155] These multiple first colors 311 and image-related information 200 are stored in association with each other in the memory unit 30, and the multiple first color selection units 40 select the above-mentioned first colors 311 upon input of the above-mentioned image-related information 200 from the image information input unit 20.

[0156] It goes without saying that the above is an example, and the information 200 relating to the first color 311 and the image other than those described above is also included.

[0157] [Example 3] Example 3 is an example in which the article 100 is a mop 130, more specifically, the cleaning tool shown in Fig. 22. The mop 130 has a mop body 130A and a pressing cloth 130B, and the first color 311 of the mop body 130A is the first color 311 of the article 100, and the color of the pressing cloth 130B is the second color 312 of the article 100.

[0158] The first color 311 may be, for example, yellow, blue, or orange. The image information 200 corresponding to yellow may be, for example, fun, hope, or children as the information 220 related to the image of a place, which may represent the mop 130 used in a large space such as a conference room. The image information 200 corresponding to blue may be, for example, water, freshness, or cleanliness as the information 220 related to the image of a place, which may represent the mop 130 used to frequently clean areas around water such as a kitchen. The image information 200 corresponding to red may be, for example, vitality, prominence, or life as the information 220 related to the image of a place, which may represent the mop 130 used to clean floors where employees are out on the road, such as the sales floor.

[0159] Furthermore, the second color 312 can be the first color 311 that accentuates the first color 311, for example, red if the first color 311 is yellow, yellow if the first color 311 is blue, or blue if the first color 311 is orange.

[0160] The first color 311 and the information 200 about the image, more specifically, the information 220 about the image of the place, are stored in association with each other in the storage unit 30, and the first color selection unit 40 selects the first color 311 in response to input of the information 200 about the image, more specifically, the information 220 about the image of the place, from the image information input unit 20. The storage unit 30 also stores a second color 312 in association with the first color 311, and the second color selection unit 50 selects the second color 312 following the first color 311.

[0161] In this way, by setting the first color 311 of the mop 130 to the color 310 corresponding to the information 220 about the image of the location, the location where the mop 130 is used can be determined at a glance from the first color 311. Furthermore, the frequency of use and degree of deterioration of the mop 130 can also be determined at a glance from the first color 311 of the mop 130. This makes it possible to set the replacement times for each mop 130 individually, without setting a uniform replacement time for all mops 130.
