Color images of multi-colored flower patterns were captured by a commercially available color scanner.The γ-correction was applied for the transformation from sRGB to XYZ of the CIE color system. X, Y, Z, L*, a*, b*, C*ab and hab of the CIE color system were obtained for each pixel (i, j) in the color image. Mean values for L*, a*, b*, C*ab and hab of all pixels (AVE-L*, AVE-a*, AVE-b*, AVE-C*ab and AVE-h ab ) were obtained as color information parameters. An averaged color was made by using the AVE-L*, AVE-a* and AVE-b* of a multi-colored flower pattern. Semantic differential analysis was performed on the multi-colored patterns and their averaged mono-colors according to the following feeling scales: heavy-light, deep-pale, dark-light, hard-soft, turbid-transparent and gaudy-plain. The heavy-light, deep-pale, dark-lightand hard-soft feelings had high correlation to the AVE-L*. Averaged mono-colors of multi-colored patterns were classified into 11 kinds of tones by a visual sensory test. The evaluation of the tones of the averaged mono-colors in multi-colored patterns was discussed in relation to the color information parameters.
