Traditionally, fabric color measurement has primarily relied on spectroscopic methods and colorimeters, which require direct contact with the fabric samples and often involve high costs. With the innovations of image processing technology, image-based color measurement (IBCM) methods have provided new possibilities thanks to their flexibility and automation potential. This paper provides an overview of IBCM approaches, including multispectral imaging systems, hyperspectral imaging, digital cameras, and scanners. Recent studies have shown that the application of artificial intelligence (AI) and computer vision in color measurement can enhance measurement accuracy and stability. However, this method still faces many challenges, such as the influence of ambient lighting, camera angles, fabric materials, and discrepancies among measuring devices. In addition, the work discusses color correction techniques aimed at improving the IBCM's accuracy, including spectral reflectance reconstruction, color balancing, and machine learning algorithms. Furthermore, the paper analyzes the applicability of IBCM technology in industrial textile quality control, and proposes future research directions, such as developing advanced AI algorithms, integrating Internet of Things (IoT) technology, and establishing standards for IBCM. The findings suggest that, despite remaining challenges, IBCM is emerging as a promising solution to replace or complement traditional color measurement methods in the textile industry.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":10459,"journal":{"name":"Color Research and Application","volume":"51 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2026-02-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146216875","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It has been hypothesized that this complexity might be an artifact of CIELAB non-uniformities rather than a genuine perceptual phenomenon. This study addresses this ambiguity through a comprehensive psychophysical experiment, with results analyzed in parallel using both CIELAB and the more uniform CAM16-UCS. The analysis reveals that the bimodal signature—characterized by distinct peaks in the cyan–blue and red–magenta regions—persists in CAM16-UCS, supporting its validity as a perceptual attribute for highly saturated stimuli. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that the eccentricity factor (<span></span><math>\u0000 <semantics>\u0000 <mrow>\u0000 <msub>\u0000 <mi>e</mi>\u0000 <mi>t</mi>\u0000 </msub>\u0000 </mrow>\u0000 <annotation>$$ {e}_t $$</annotation>\u0000 </semantics></math>) within CAM16-UCS inherently captures the primary hue-dependent trend of the H–K effect. Leveraging this finding, two application-dependent models are proposed: a hue-invariant Simplified model suitable for general engineering workflows, and a Fourier model for high-precision applications requiring characterization of the secondary red–magenta peak. Both models are validated against eight datasets, demonstrating robust performance and offering a practical framework for lightness prediction in modern applications.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":10459,"journal":{"name":"Color Research and Application","volume":"51 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2026-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146135865","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Gradient-color products, compared to single-color ones, attract more consumer attention. However, designing effective gradient color schemes presents challenges, as they must quickly align with public preferences. This study proposes a gradient-color matching method tailored to these preferences, supported by an innovative aesthetic measurement formula. RGB and Pantone models, integrated with the Munsell color system, were used to create gradient color strips through arithmetic progression. Eye-tracking experiments identified visual hotspots in these strips, which informed the calculation of aesthetic values. Representative color points served as initial points for performing tricolor aesthetic measurements, thereby eliminating color schemes with insufficient aesthetic values. Running shoes served as design cases to apply and test the method. Public perception was evaluated through an aesthetic questionnaire, and Pearson correlation validated the results, showing a strong alignment with public aesthetics.

The research uses the Aesthetic Measurement Model (AMM) with Markov decision-making theory to analyze 125 color palettes that fully cover the applied color coordinate system. The aesthetic measure theory is used to identify the unity and coherence of color aesthetics, and Markov decision theory is used to identify the connection among mechanical product images and color combinations, which results in five symbolic color variations from two representative samples. Statistical verification enhances the reliability and stability of results, validating the method connecting quantitative and qualitative color ratings. The AMM-Markov decision-making theory achieved a predictive accuracy of 96.5%, surpassing existing analyses and demonstrating improved capability in assessing product aesthetic quality.

This systematic review investigates how color in picture book illustrations has been reported to influence or appear to contribute to children's narrative comprehension and cognitive development, addressing persistent gaps in methodology and theory. Following PRISMA guidelines, four databases were systematically searched (2000–October 2024), identifying 78 eligible studies from an initial pool of 717 records. Studies were thematically categorized into four domains: the impact of color on emotional perception, cognitive processing and recognition, narrative function in storytelling, and experimental applications. Across these domains, findings demonstrate that color functions simultaneously as a representational code, a cognitive scaffold, and an affective cue—shaping emotional engagement, guiding attention and memory, structuring narrative coherence, and enabling transfer of learning in experimental contexts. This review demonstrates that color in picture book illustration is not a decorative feature but a multimodal narrative device that modulates emotional tone, scaffolds cognitive processing, and structures story coherence, supporting theories such as Dual Coding and multimodal discourse. While evidence confirms systematic links between color choices, comprehension, and engagement, significant gaps remain, particularly the lack of longitudinal and cross-cultural studies, the absence of a unified terminology, and limited integration across disciplines. The review concludes with a call for interdisciplinary, technologically informed, and developmentally sensitive research to advance a comprehensive theoretical model of color in visual storytelling.</p>","PeriodicalId":10459,"journal":{"name":"Color Research and Application","volume":"51 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2026-02-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/col.70056","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146139284","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study evaluates these metrics using four color difference formulas (CIELAB, CMC, CIEDE2000, and CAM16-UCS) to quantify step sizes and the coefficient of variation (CV) to assess uniformity. In terms of step size, key findings reveal that Coloro achieves the smallest median step size (with CIELAB values of 2.2, 1.6, and 1.8 in the Hue, Lightness, and Chroma attributes, respectively), but contains only a limited number of adjacent pairs. SCB ranks second (with CIELAB values of 2.0, 3.0, and 2.2 in the Hue, Depth, and Chroma attributes, respectively), yet it comprises a substantially larger number of pairs. In terms of uniformity, SCB exhibits superior uniformity in the Hue attribute. Both Munsell and DIN excel in uniformity in the Value/Darkness attribute. NCS leads in uniformity for the Chroma attribute. Crucially, no single system and atlas optimize across all attributes.
