Contrast effect of colors and textures used for living environment

Abstract

This investigation aims to gain a basic understanding on contrast effect of surface color and texture used for living environment. We define the subjective contrast as an extent of subjective and comprehensive variation between a visual target and its back ground. In this report, the relations between the subjective contrast and color, texture and luminous contrast was clarified. It could be said that the subjective contrast was influences by Munsell hue and chroma. The subjective contrast of surface texture could be declared by its luminous contrast and color difference.
