Research on Printing Preferences for Skin Color

In order to study the preferred skin color for printing images,two CMYK images from ISO 400 and one from iStock,including five skin color images of East Asian females was selected in this study.The images were adjusted with the CMYK printing ink volume variation of the single,double and triple channels in the given 280%total ink limit conditions.A larger number of color vision normal observers were organized to carry out the color preference evaluation experiment,and the selected preferred skin colors were analyzed.The distribution range of the chromaticity values for skin color images were obtained and the results indicated that there are three regions for printing skin color preferences,and the observers have a memory preference for brighter,fairer skin colors in young female and a reddish skin colors in girl,which can provide the guidance for color adjustment of printed skin color images.

Inter-specific and intra-specific variability in fruit color preference in two species of Turdus

One of the main hypotheses proposed to explain the evolution of fruit color deals with a preference of avian frugivores for specific colors,mainly black and red,which are the most common fruit colors in many of the studied habitats.I analyzed fruit color preferences by wild birds belonging to 2 species of the highly frugivorous genus Turdus(Eurasian Blackbird Turdus merula Linnaeus,1758 and Redwing Turdus iliacus Linnaeus,1758)by means of captivity experiments with artificial fruits.Despite important within-individual(i.e.temporal)and among-individual variability,consistent patterns of species-specific color preferences emerged.Eurasian Blackbirds tended to prefer red over blue,green and black,whereas Redwings seemed to prefer black over the rest.Green was systematically avoided by both species,suggesting that it might signal unripeness of fruits.Both preferred colors have been previously reported as the most common among fleshy-fruited plants.The high variability,both within and between individuals,in preferences suggests that they can be subject to changes through experience and learning and,therefore,are not likely to drive the evolution of fruit color.The main differences between both species could be related to the most common fruit color they fed upon during the last months before capture.

Assessing architectural color preference after Le Corbusier’s 1931 Salubra keyboards:A cross cultural analysis

Color preference for the interior of a bedroom of Le Corbusier’s Swiss Pavilion was studied using 1931 Salubra color keyboards in a cross-cultural analysis.Results indicate that students from architecture and interior design slightly dislike or are indifferent to Le Corbusier color combinations and prefer pale and low saturated colors for interior architecture.The least preferred colors belong to green and brown hues.Scarce significant gender differences are found that follow a stereotyped tendency,with females preferring pinks,light blues and light greens,while males vivid oranges and Vermilions.Near Easterners are significantly more likely to green colors,while Western Europeans to dark greys.These data indicate that not only hue,but also value and saturation are important color features to inform preference for interior architecture.

What Cars Colors Preferred

A recently-made investigation on the color of imported cars indicates that solemn tones are favored by most endusers. Fig. 1 gives statistics of 92 cars sold by 22 dealers in Shanghai area (ay. 2.5 L and in the range of intermediate class cars according to Chinese standard GB3730. 1-
