Estimation and Analysis of Color Kansei Score Based on Single Colors

Abstract

In this paper, we examine the construction factors of color Kansei information which are perceived from single colors. To examine the construction factors, we perform a subjective evaluation experiment based on the Semantic Differential method which uses 201 monochromatic colors and 12 adjective pairs. Three factors were detected by using the factor analysis. This paper also investigates the ability of the potential interpolation method to estimate factor scores of arbitrary color stimulus. We carried out the potential interpolation for several uniform color spaces. The performance of the interpolation of the CIE L*a*b* was good. Finally, the average of the estimation error was within the individual dispersion of the subjective experiment.
