[0001]
TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a color sample or a color sample book effective for selecting a color scheme such as a color of an interior or an exterior of a building, or an interior furniture, an interior decoration, an outdoor structure, and the like.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, color samples, color proposals using color sample books have been made, interior or exterior of buildings, or indoor furniture, interior decoration, building materials used for outdoor structures, paints, furniture, The colors of decorations and structures were selected.
[0003]
There are two main types of color swatches or color swatches that can be used at this time. A color swatch book in which a single color swatch is arranged on a single color swatch and several color swatches are combined Some of them were different from each other, or there were several color samples on one color sample. The present invention relates to the latter color sample technology. In the case where a plurality of color samples are exemplified in the latter one leaf, colors having higher demand than color samples having similar hues are extracted and selected and arranged in 5 to 10 colors, or have almost the same meaning. 5 to 10 color arrays in which the brightness or the saturation is changed for each hue (for example, R, YR, Y, GY, G, BG, B, PB, P, RP) Some were arranged with a combination of hue and tone (a composite concept of lightness and saturation).
[0004]
In the description so far, it is described that the color sample is created by a paint sample, but it may be a print or a photograph in addition to a paint painted with a predetermined color.
[0005]
"PCCS Harmonic Color Charts 201", published in 1986 by the Japan Color Research Institute, is an example of tones that are classified and introduced. Examples of tones are white: white, pale: light, light: shallow, and bright: Bright, vivid: soft / brilliant, soft: soft / mild, strong: strong.
[0006]
In the present invention, for convenience, a color sample refers to a single sheet in which one or more predetermined colors are printed or painted, and a color sample book indicates a combination of a plurality of color samples. Generally, a color sample is sometimes called a color card.
[0007]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, even if there is a color sample that combines hue and lightness or hue and tone, when selecting a color for interior or exterior of a building, or interior furniture, interior decoration, outdoor structure, etc. , Depending on the sensitivity of the person choosing.
[0008]
The present invention has been made by paying attention to the problems existing in the prior art as described above. The purpose of the design is to specify the objects that require harmony when designing the colors, and to show the harmonized color diagram and the colors that make up this diagram, The purpose is to make the selection easier.
[0009]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, the color sample according to the first aspect of the present invention is characterized in that a color sample and a multi-color sample corresponding to a plurality of colors constituting the diagram are arranged. I do.
[0010]
The color sample according to the second aspect of the present invention is based on the first aspect of the invention, in which the colored figure is a nature, a person, an artificial thing, or a combination thereof.
[0011]
The color sample according to the third aspect of the invention is characterized in that, in the first or second aspect of the invention, the color-added drawing is a photograph.
[0012]
According to a fourth aspect of the invention, there is provided a color sample in which the color sample according to any one of the first to third aspects shows a base color, a sub-color, and an enhanced color.
[0013]
The color sample book according to the fifth aspect of the present invention is arranged such that a plurality of sets of coloring samples corresponding to the figures and the figures according to any one of the first to fourth aspects are arranged on one mount or a series of mounts. The gist is to do it.
[0014]
According to a sixth aspect of the present invention, there is provided a color sample book according to the fifth aspect, wherein the base colors of the figures arranged on the color sample book are of the same system.
[0015]
Hereinafter, the constituent elements of the present invention will be described.
The nature of the present invention is exemplified by a natural landscape such as a mountain, a river, a forest, the sea, or the sky, and a bird's-eye view or a bird's-eye view of a flora and fauna and a micrograph. The person includes the whole body or a part of the body and the person obtained from the collective state of the person when the person is dressed and undressed. The person may be standing, lying down, sitting on a chair, or exercising. Artifacts are those that are industrially produced, such as machines, appliances, furniture, clothes, cars, boats, houses, buildings, and structures, as well as crafts, paintings, photographs, and the like that are created and produced by individual skills. There is a copy.
[0016]
These natures, people, and artifacts may exist alone or in combination with one another, and both of them can be used as a diagram. For example, in a figure with a person in a natural landscape, nature and a person are combined, and depending on what the subject of the figure is, whether it is a figure of nature or a figure of a person, etc. It may be classified.
[0017]
The pictures of the present invention include those drawn by a person in a person or landscape to those drawn by the creator's imagination. The means for drawing a picture is not limited, such as watercolor, oil painting, print, etching, and screen printing. In addition, these pictures, which have become known works, are not suitable for industrial production because they are not directly used for color sample drawings, so that it is practical to use them as photographs.
[0018]
The photograph of the present invention is a photograph of the above-mentioned nature, a person, an artificial thing, or a combination thereof. It may be a silver halide type, a digital type, a product printed on photographic paper, or a printed product based on a printed photograph.
[0019]
The color sample of the present invention is composed of a diagram obtained from the above-mentioned nature and the like and a color sample of a plurality of colors. In addition, the plurality of color swatches correspond to the plurality of colors constituting the above-described drawing. Therefore, a diagram composed of monochrome colors such as sumi-e is not included. In the configuration of the color sample on the plane, there are various possibilities for the size and positional relationship between the figure and the color sample, and the size and arrangement are arbitrary according to the designer's thought. In the following examples, in a rectangular color sample, the figure was arranged at one corner, and five paint samples were arranged in the remaining space. In another embodiment, in a rectangular color sample, a figure is arranged at a position about one-third from one corner, and a paint color sample, which is a base color, is arranged in a narrower surplus space. Four colors including a sub-toning color and an emphasis color are arranged on the wide side.
[0020]
The swatch is composed of a combination of two to six colors for one figure. Preferably, two to four colors are combined in one figure. The color to be applied to the coloring sample is extracted according to the size of the area with each color divided in the colored diagram. In the figure, colors that occupy an area of 50% to 80% are classified as base colors, colors occupying an area of 10% to 35% are defined as sub-colors, and colors occupying an area of 1% to 15% are classified as emphasized colors. Can be divided. When it is difficult to compare the sizes based on the area, a color having low brightness and / or low saturation in the drawing may be selected as the base color.
[0021]
In general, the base color is a color that gives the impression of the entire figure, the subtone is a color different from the base color, and can change the figure, and the emphasis color is a color that tightens the impression of the figure. There is. Although it is difficult to actually classify the colors constituting the figure into three to six colors, after determining the base color, a darker or lighter color than the base color is extracted as the sub color. Normally, when the base color is dark, that is, when the base color is at low brightness and / or high saturation, the color becomes high brightness and / or low saturation compared to the base color, and when the base color is light, That is, when the brightness is high and / or low, the color is lower in brightness and / or higher in saturation than the base color. At this time, the same or similar hue is extracted.
[0022]
Since the emphasis color is a color that exists as an accent in a certain figure, if the figure is composed of substantially similar hues, the lightness and / or the saturation or the high lightness and / or the low lightness and / or the high lightness and / or the high lightness and / or the low lightness and / or the high lightness and / or the low / higher lightness are higher than those of the subtone. It becomes a color of saturation. When the figure is composed of various colors, it is extracted from colors at positions that are as symmetrical as possible with respect to the hue of the base color and the sub-color. In either case, the color is extracted from the color whose color difference increases when the color is digitized.
[0023]
Although there is one base color paint sample corresponding to one drawing, it is desirable that the number of paint samples of the sub-tone color and the emphasized color is two or three. However, when the number is 4 or more, there is a possibility that color selection when using a color sample or a color sample book becomes difficult. Within this range, color selection becomes easy.
[0024]
The sample book is composed of a plurality of sets of the above color samples on a single mount or a series of mounts. In selecting actual colors, there are several candidates for harmonizing with the design object. For example, it is suitable for color selection. For example, when arranging a plurality of color samples on one mount, the figure and the swatch can be arranged in one row or one line, and the plurality of color samples can be accommodated in one sheet.
[0025]
In the above sample book, when the hue of the base color in the figure is similar, the person who selects the color is supposed to make a color selection in relation to the illustrated figure. It is possible to select a color that is more harmonious as an object and select a color.
[0026]
