A method is proposed for selecting two-color combinations with various feelings. Feelings used are pleasantness, contrast, floridness, warmth, and their combinations. The proposed method is given by its flow, chart for selecting the candidates of two-color combinations adapting to target feeling(s). The effectiveness of the proposed method is shown by the correlation coefficients between observed and predicted values for jour kinds of feelings. Munsell H VICs of each component color are necessary for prediction: the prediction formulas are given for estimating the degree of each feeling for any two-color combinations. The proposed method can be expanded to three-color combinations. This proposal is expected to assist color designers, who can choose their usable color combinations from the candidates selected by the proposed method. (c) 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
