1. A method of notating and displaying a color, comprising:
- determining, using predetermined mathematical equations and in dependence on numerical color attributes that define a color, a plurality of numerical color emotion values each representative of a different human emotional response to the color;
transforming said plurality of numerical color emotion values to second numerical color emotion values on a scale, wherein a lower value of the scale is one (1) and an upper value of the scale is divisible by nine (9);
assigning an identifying notation to the color, the identifying notation comprising a color emotion notation that includes the second numerical color emotion values; and
presenting an image on a display device that includes the color and the identifying notation.
