Paper Abstract:
|
The Colour Harmoniser creates abstract colour schemes by applying conventional rules of colour harmony to features of an interface or web page; the user then converts these to concrete colour schemes by modifying the scheme's overall colour cast, overall saturation, and light-dark distribution. The results are both harmonious and usable. We present a set of criteria underlying the Colour Harmoniser. We describe the tool and some experiments that suggest that the tool functions more effectively than anticipated, producing colour schemes with higher quality than those produced by random choice, by humans who self-classify as non-artists, and by humans who self-classify as artists. |
