A Geometric Approach to Harmonic Color Palette Design
This addresses color harmony selection for designers, but it appears incremental as it builds on existing geometric and statistical methods without a major breakthrough.
The paper tackled the problem of finding harmonic colors for applications like fashion and industrial design by modeling colors as normal distributions in tone and hue, using the CIE standard for representation and proximity evaluation, and found that lines with specific parameters and uncertain line patterns are preferred over others.
We address the problem of finding harmonic colors, this problem has many applications, from fashion to industrial design. In order to solve this problem we consider that colors follow normal distributions in tone (chroma and lightness) and hue. The proposed approach relies in the CIE standard for representing colors and evaluate proximity. Other approaches to this problem use a set of rules. Experimental results show that lines with specific parameters angles of inclination, and distance from the reference point are preferred over others, and that uncertain line patterns outperform non-linear patterns.
