Importance of color in floral design has been emphasized for long time, but it is difficult to find out standardization of color for floral design and for educational system. Wedding bouquet is major and important part of floral design and it shows same problem. The research is concentrated on color image analysis of wedding bouquet designs which have been submitted for 'Interflora World Cup Competition' with the intention to utilize the study result as the basic information of floral design. Colors of wedding bouquets from 20 different countries were analyzed. All of designers chose high brightness and saturation more for designing the bouquets. Warm colors and cold colors have been taken in similar portion. Blue color has been rarely used and it is probably because of the rarity of blue flowers. This study shows each continent has different color preference. European designers used wide variety of colors while Asian designers preferred red color. From this study, we found that color image scales of wedding bouquets represent 8 images out of 12 representative images. Four exceptions are 'clean', 'elegant', 'gentle' and 'modern' images.

In this study, among five senses, I focused visual sense due to the large proportion of environmental perception. The purpose of this study is to analyze the degree of geriatric depression and preference of simulated images applying preferable color for the elderly. This study conducted literature review and questionnaire survey. Firstly, the previous studies related with the melancholy, sense of isolation, self-regard for the elderly analyzed.

The purposes of this research were to evaluate the color sensibility and preferences, and to analyze the effect of the tactile preferences and purchasing preference on structural properties, color characteristics and color sensibility for the black color fabrics. Male and female university students were asked to evaluate the color sensibility, tactile preference and purchasing preference to the nine different black fabrics which were selected on the basis of the previous research results. Data were analyzed by using frequency analysis, mean, factor analysis, t-test, Kruskal-Wallis test, correlation and regression analysis. The color sensibility for black color fabrics was classified into four factors: simplicity/classic, elegance, modernity and dignity. This color sensibility factors showed a significant correlative relationship to the structural properties and color characteristics of black color fabrics. On the other hand, fabrics which were evaluated with good tactile preference among the black color fabrics tended to show higher purchasing preference. Also, among the color sensibility, the structural properties and color characteristics of black color fabrics, major variable factor of influencing on the tactile preference and the purchasing preference was turned out to be the color sensibility.

It is important for designers to be supported with their decision-making on colours which is often based on personal distinction rather than logical dialogue that may lead to confusion within communicating with others. To help these problems and to gain productivity, we would like to propose a way to define colour grouping method. In other words, the purpose of this study is to help to improve the communication and productivity within the design and designers. The grouping was based and inspired by from the studies of Kobayashi, Hideaki Chijiawa, Allis Westgate and Martha Gill. The study of grouping is based on the "tones" of each group, as they seem to reflect a designer s sentimentalism of chosen colours the best. Each of these groups will be named Bright , Pastel ,Deep and Neutral The general concept of each groups are: - Bright: high quality of pixels of primary colour - Pastel: primary colour with white - - Deep: Primary colour with gray or black - Neutral: colours that does not include any of above Each of the colour group has been allocated into Si-Hwa Jung's colour charts and colour prism to visualize the relationships between the colour groups. These four groups and the colours included in them will be broken down to smaller groups in order to make colour palette. This would break the barrier and result in using colours in groups as well as crossover coordination. This study would result in new ways of using colurs for designers designers

식품의 맛은 미각, 후각, 시각, 청각, 촉각에서 느낀 여러 가지 인상과 개인의 경험이나 기호가 복합적으로 적용되어 인식된다. 특히 맛을 결정하는 영향 요인 중에서 시각을 통해 인지하는 색은 실제 맛을 지각하기 전에 맛에 대한 이미지를 연상시킴으로써, 식품 선택에 결정적인 영향을 준다. 따라서 식품색을 적용함에 있어 식품 자체의 맛 이미지를 효과적으로 전달할 수 있는 색을 활용함으로써, 소비자들이 좀더 관능적으로 선호할 수 있는 식품을 개발할 수 있을 것이다. 본 연구에서는 소비자들이 특정 식품을 선택하여 구매하고자 할 때 인지하게 되는 맛 이미지를 효과적으로 전달하기 위한 도구로서 색채를 사용하기 위해 사례연구를 진행하였다. 사례연구는 초콜릿색에서 연상되는 맛에 관한 웹 설문을 통해 진행되었다. 설문 결과를 바탕으로 식품색에서 연상하게 되는 맛에 영향을 주는 요인을 추출하고, 초콜릿 맛의 종류와 느낌의 정도에 따른 주요 색채의 경향성을 도출함으로써 시각을 이용하여 보다 정확하게 초콜릿 맛의 공감각적 특성을 전달하기 위한 기초자료를 제안하였다.

소비의 패턴이 이성소비에서 감성소비로 전환되면서 오감이 중요한 마케팅 요소로 등장하고 있다. 특히 시각적 요소는 인간이 사물을 인지하는데 있어서 83%정도의 영향력을 발휘하기 때문에 매우 중요하게 고려된다. 따라서 본 연구는 Color Code를 토대로 사용자의 성격을 분류하고 동시에 사용자가 선호하는 색상을 이용하여 색채배색을 제안하는 방법을 설명하고 있는데 성격을 RED, BLUE, WHITE, YELLOW의 4개의 컬러코드로 분류하기 위해서 ‘The Hartman Color Code Personality Profil’을 이용하였다. 조사결과 사용자의 컬러코드 중 가장 많은 코드는 BLUE코드였으며 선호도도 가장 높았다. 이러한 BLUE 코드의 특징 중 색채와 대응할 수 있는 감성어휘를 중심으로 색채배색안을 제시하고 이를 주택상품의 컬러마케팅에 이용하고자 하는 것이 본 연구의 목표이다.

A company's plan to reform its products' image cannot obtain expected results unless a color plan is included in the reformation plan. A color plan is essential since color conveys to customers much information on function, shape, and material quality of the product. In other words, color is the essential dimension or criteria that customers use when evaluating the quality of goods. Despite the importance of a color plan, companies in Korea are still behind in researching and receiving 'color information' compared to those in more advanced countries. Recognizing the importance of products color, many international companies constantly make their efforts to predict trendy colors and preferred styles of customers before they develop products. It is suggested that domestic companies invest more in color infrastructure to be more successful in making products which can catch the customers' eyes and emotion. Different life styles by age, income level, and gender would be only a few of many factors to be investigated to build color plans for a product. In this study, it is attempted to see the color tendency of young generation by gender, and also to analyze empirically the influence of product's color on its image and customers' behavior. The results are analyzed with frequency analysis, cross tabulation analysis, T-test, one-way ANOVA using SPSS Win 12. The results of this study show that color preference, product image and product attitude are influenced by product's color, and color is an important factor for forming additional emotional value together with the product's original functional value. Judging from the findings, it is recommended that a company undertake careful research before developing a product to find out how customers respond differently to products in different colors especially when the product belongs to the product category where color is considered to be a determinant factor in terms of choosing a brand.
