Emocolor: An assistant design method for emotional color matching based on semantics and images

Much research has been done on the relationship between emotions and colors, and many color scheme recommendation tools have been developed. These tools can often help recommend a suitable color scheme to express a certain emotion, but it is still difficult to design satisfying schemes based on such recommendations. In this study, based on the Color Scheme Bible, Compact Edition, we developed Emocolor, which allows professionals to generate a large number of color schemes based on emotional words or emotional images. It is also used to iteratively optimize the generated color schemes based on an interactive genetic algorithm to find the color scheme design that best matches the user's emotion. Through the evaluation of tram color schemes based on emotional words, Emocolor can effectively generate tram color schemes that match users' emotions. It can also effectively transfer the emotion of an image with a single dominant color to a tram color scheme. In short, Emocolor can help professionals describe the relationship between emotion and color in a more accurate way and design emotional color schemes. Emocolor can be applied in advertising design, product design, interior design, and other fields.

Automated summary

Extensive research has been conducted on the correlation between emotions and colors, resulting in the development of numerous color scheme recommendation tools. This study introduces Emocolor, a tool that utilizes emotional words or images to generate a wide range of color schemes, subsequently refining them through an interactive genetic algorithm to best align with user emotions. Emocolor effectively produces tram color schemes that resonate with user emotions and successfully translates the emotion of an image dominated by a single color into a tram color scheme.
