Color Notation System Using Emotional Response Values
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing color notation systems fail to effectively convey the emotional impact of colors, relying on serial numbers or complex attributes like hue and lightness, making it difficult for individuals to imagine or appreciate the color represented by the code.
Innovation Solution
A color notation system that uses predetermined mathematical equations to determine numerical color emotion values, representing different human emotional responses, and assigns a color emotion notation comprising these values, allowing for a more intuitive understanding of color emotions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If a serial number or complex color attribute system is used to identify colors, then color identification precision is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates because individuals cannot easily imagine or appreciate what the color code represents
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies color changes by using color emotion values (warmth, lightness, excitement) that directly correspond to perceptual color attributes. Each digit in the 3-digit notation represents a specific emotional dimension of the color, allowing users to mentally visualize the color's emotional character without needing to interpret abstract numerical codes or complex color theory terminology.
2Measurement precision
If existing color notation systems are used, then color specification accuracy is improved, but loss of information occurs because the emotional impact and human response to colors cannot be conveyed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the parameters of color notation from traditional attributes (hue, saturation, brightness) to emotional response parameters (warmth, lightness, excitement). This transformation captures the human emotional experience of color while maintaining precise specification capability, eliminating the loss of emotional information present in conventional systems.

AI summary
According to one example embodiment described herein is a method of notating a color that includes determining, using predetermined mathematical equations and in dependence on numerical color attributes that identify a color, a plurality of numerical color emotion values each representative of a different human emotional response to the color; and assigning an identifying notation to the color, the identifying notation comprising a color emotion notation that includes the color emotion values.
