This paper proposes a method for quantitative evaluation of color harmony using a fuzzy reasoning. In the development of a system that evaluates color scheme quantitatively, it is important to clarify relationship between colors and their combination. In addition, it is also necessary to define some rules with relation to correlation between color scheme and color combination patterns. Therefore, this paper shows new approach to evaluate color harmony automatically. It uses some fuzzy sets to represent distribution of colors in hue and tone. Hue distribution types and tone distribution types are based on the color harmony theory proposed by Matsuda, and the system can evaluate harmony of three color combinations quantitatively using fuzzy rules based on the harmonious relationship between hue distribution type and tone distribution type. An experimental result shows that the result of quantitative evaluation using the system is similar to the questionnaire result about color harmony by human.
