Agenda: 

Agenda How to characterize How? When? Why? of use Searching and highlighting Color palettes Color contrast Color associations

Characterizing Color - HSV Model: 

Hue basic color, pigment Saturation relative purity, brightness, or intensity of a color Value lightness or darkness of a color Most commonly-used model Characterizing Color - HSV Model Image from: Adventures in HSV Space, Darrin Cardani, dcardani@buena.com

HSV Color Model: 

Hue Wavelength (red, green, yellow, blue) Spectrum (VIBGYOR) Saturation Pastel versus strong (baby blue, sky blue, royal blue) Value amount of energy (white, light gray, dark gray, black) Usually V = 0.299*R + 0.587*G + 0.114*B HSV Color Model

HSV Color Space: 

HSV Color Space Typical color selection tools

Color – Reflected and Emitted: 

Color – Reflected and Emitted We see the world via reflected color: light strikes a surface and is reflected to our eyes – properties of surface dictate color (printers, objects) Subtractive color model - Cyan Magenta Yellow primaries Colors on CRT are emitted: light is generated by phosphors and emitted Additive color model - Red Green Blue primaries

Color: 

Color Monitors typically work on the RGB scheme 0–255 value each red, green, blue Brightness is typically 0.299*R + 0.587*G + 0.114*B R: 170 G:43 B: 211

Color: 

Color Use it for a purpose, not to just add some color in

Your Screen?

Color Guidelines: 

Color Guidelines Use color sparingly – design in b/w then add color where appropriate Thus use color as a redundant code Helps color-blind users For monochrome displays (not too many left :) Use color to: Draw attention Facilitate searching Communicate organization Indicate status Establish relationships

Color Guidelines: 

Color Guidelines Display color images on a black, white, or gray background Be sure foreground colors contrast (in both brightness and hue) with background colors Avoid using color in non-task related ways

Color Meanings: Contextually Specific: 

Yellow happy, caution, joy Brown warm, fall, dirt, earth Green go, on, safe, envy, lush, pastoral Purple royal, sophisticated, Barney Color Meanings: Contextually Specific Red aggression, love hot, warning, stop, radiation Pink female, cute, cotton candy Orange warm, autumn, Halloween Blue cold, off

Searching and Color: 

Searching and Color Search for a particular item on a display Color generally faster Shapes (60%) Size (40%) Brightness (40%) Alpha characters (40%) Letters (10%) Score = Achromatic search time – color search time Achromatic search time An initial decrease in search time occurs as the first few colors are used, but then search times go up as more colors are added.

Accuracy and Color Coding: 

Accuracy and Color Coding Color is more accurate than some alternatives for coding: Shape (202%) Size (176%) Intensity (32%) Christ, R., “Review & Analysis of Color Coding for Visual Display,” Human Factors, 17(6), 1975, pp. 542-570.

Accuracy and Color Coding: 

Accuracy and Color Coding Redundant coding increases discrimination Red triangle Green square Viewer cues on either code, results are: Brightness & color (104%) Size & brightness & color (61%) Size & color (60%) Score = Redundant – Color Only Color Only

Color Guidelines: 

Color Guidelines To express difference, use high contrast colors (and vice versa) Make sure colors do not “vibrate” These colors vibrate: they will give you a headache

Color Palettes: 

Color Palettes Color palette – set of colors used on one screen Choose color palette from HSV space by varying and two of H, S, and V. Don’t vary hue, saturation and brightness at the same time. Unless want continuous tone or ‘artsy’ effect, best to use only 4-6 colors per screen

Color Palettes/Suites: 

Color Palettes/Suites Designers often pick a palette of 4 or 5 colors Variations of 2 colors Monochromatic (variations of 1 color) Southwestern (culturally evocative)

Color Palettes: 

Color Palettes Use of pastels and primaries Varyies all of hue, saturation and value

Color Palettes: 

Color Palettes Redesign increased saturation of blue All colors are primary

Effect of Colored Text on Colored Background: 

Effect of Colored Text on Colored Background Black text on white Gray text on white Yellow text on white Light yellow text on white Green text on white Light green text on white Blue text on white Pale blue text on white Dark red text on white Red text on white Rose text on white

Effect of Colored Text on Colored Background: 

Effect of Colored Text on Colored Background Black text on red Gray text on red Yellow text on red Light yellow text on red Green text on red Light green text on red Blue text on red Pale blue text on red Dark red text on red Red text on red Rose text on red

Effect of Colored Text on Colored Background: 

Effect of Colored Text on Colored Background Black text on dark blue Gray text on dark blue Yellow text on dark blue Light yellow text on dark blue Green text on dark blue Light green text on dark blue Blue text on dark blue Pale blue text on dark blue Dark red text on dark blue Red text on dark blue Rose text on dark blue

Effect of Colored Text on Colored Background: 

Effect of Colored Text on Colored Background Also important when colored text is shown on gray scale monitors Exact effect depends on mapping of colors to intensities. Normally is close to 0.299*R + 0.587*G + 0.114*B

Effect of Colored Text on Colored Background: 

Effect of Colored Text on Colored Background Not enough contrast between blue text and grey, textured background Inconsistency may cause user to puzzle over icons being different sizes

Effect of Colored Text on Colored Background:
