Effects of Three Attributes of Color Including Tone on Olfactory Impression

抄録

To examine the effect on the olfactory impression by color stimuli from the aspects of the three attributes of color (hue, lightness, and chroma) and tones the seven types of olfactory impression for the color stimuli were measured using the subjective evaluation of five-point scale. The color stimuli were uniformly selected from twelve tones in PCCS and the achromatic colors of N1 to 9 added, the amount of color stimuli was 153 in total. The participants were asked to subjectively evaluate the olfactory impression of seven types (vanilla type, mint type, herb type, floral type, citrus fruit, soap, and putrid odor) for the stimulus presented by the display using the five-point scale. In the results of floral, mint, and citrus fruit smells, the evaluation values increase with the values of lightness and/or chroma of the hues of 6RP, 3G, and 8YR, respectively. Also, in the results of soap and vanilla smells, the evaluation values reach to the peak on 5B and 5Y or 8YR in pale and light greyish tones. Therefore, there is the relationship between the olfactory impression and three attributes of color including the tone as well as the previous studies.
