1. A computer implemented color selection method, comprising:
- selecting a group of known colors;
receiving user input through a visual user interface identifying a user chosen color;
receiving user input identifying a threshold for a first color emotion based on a first human psychophysical perception,wherein the threshold comprises a numerical color emotion score and wherein the first color emotion comprises at least one of exciting-calming, light-dark, clean-dirty, happy-sad, fun-serious, warm-cool, or inviting-uninviting color emotion;
selecting, using a controller, in dependence on a first mathematical model that models the first human psychophysical perception, which colors in said group of known colors would achieve the threshold for the first color emotion when combined with the user chosen color and with each other,wherein the first color emotion comprises a bi-polar emotion scale having a plurality of levels between end points and wherein the first mathematical model is based on psychophysical responses of a plurality of test subjects to a plurality of test colors indicating a degree of color emotion on the bi-polar emotion scale for the plurality of test colors; and
providing an output for the user identifying the selected colors on the visual user interface.

selecting a group of known colors; receiving user input through a visual user interface identifying a user chosen color; receiving user input identifying a threshold for a first color emotion based on a first human psychophysical perception, wherein the threshold comprises a numerical color emotion score and wherein the first color emotion comprises at least one of exciting-calming, light-dark, clean-dirty, happy-sad, fun-serious, warm-cool, or inviting-uninviting color emotion; selecting, using a controller, in dependence on a first mathematical model that models the first human psychophysical perception, which colors in said group of known colors would achieve the threshold for the first color emotion when combined with the user chosen color and with each other, wherein the first color emotion comprises a bi-polar emotion scale having a plurality of levels between end points and wherein the first mathematical model is based on psychophysical responses of a plurality of test subjects to a plurality of test colors indicating a degree of color emotion on the bi-polar emotion scale for the plurality of test colors; and providing an output for the user identifying the selected colors on the visual user interface. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

21. A computer implemented color selection method, comprising:
-
selecting a color library comprising a plurality of colors; receiving user input through a visual user interface identifying a plurality of thresholds for color emotions based on human psychophysical perceptions, wherein each threshold comprises a numerical color emotion score and wherein each color emotion comprises at least one of exciting-calming, light-dark, clean-dirty, happy-sad, fun-serious, warm-cool, or inviting-uninviting color emotion; filtering, using a controller without consideration of a user-chosen reference color and in dependence on mathematical models that model said human psychophysical perceptions, the plurality of colors in the color library to color or colors that would achieve said plurality of threshold, wherein each color emotion comprises a bi-polar emotion scale having a plurality of levels between end points and wherein the mathematical models are based on psychophysical responses of a plurality of test subjects to a plurality of test colors indicating degrees of color emotions on the bi-polar emotion scales for the plurality of test colors; and displaying said filtered color or colors on the visual user interface. - View Dependent Claims (22)
