  Each of the conventional techniques is used in a store, and is intended for a sales person to recommend to a buyer, and is not a support system on the side of general consumers. In other words, it was for professionals called coordinators.

  General consumers, especially women, have a strong desire to choose their own “colors that suit them” and are not willing to buy what they recommend. .

The purchaser was unable to obey the coordinator's recommendations because he did not know "the color he had".

  If you can see the “color that suits you” by yourself, you will have fun. You can go straight to your “color” just by looking at the inside of the store, and there is no waste of trying on a color that does n’t fit. If you know "the color that suits you", you can eliminate the waste of impulse buying.

  Therefore, the present invention provides a color coordination support tool that enables a general person who is not an expert to accurately select a “color that suits him / herself” by himself or at home based on color rules. The purpose is to do.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has taken the following measures. That is, the feature of the color coordination support tool of the present invention is that the color of the hair of a Japanese woman who is a yellow race is divided into a plurality of groups, and for each group, a hue circle in which pure colors are arranged in a ring shape, A color chart in which color examples of each color in the hue circle are arranged in a straight line, and a manual describing how to use the hue circle and the color chart.

  The inventor has been in contact with women of various races for many years as a hair stylist. What I have noticed from this experience is that the color of clothes is easy to choose for races with extremely light or dark skin and hair. Scandinavian fair-skinned blonde women avoid dark and intense colors. Black women look lively when they wear the primary colors. How about Japanese women (yellow race)?

  Japanese women generally have similar skin and hair colors, but have noticed that not all of them have the same color. As a result of diligent research, I realized that the impressions received from the face and hair were different due to the delicate balance between hair color and skin color. The skin color of the face is almost the same for a yellow race. However, the color of the hair can be dyed according to preference, thereby changing the color of the clothing that suits it.

  For Japanese women (yellow race), it was found that it is most reasonable to classify the hair color and coordinate the color of clothing suitable for the hair color.

  Fashion is determined by the contrast and balance of the colors that suit you. Therefore, based on the hue circle and the color chart, it is described in the manual so that the suitable color and the contrast and balance of the suitable color can be selected.

  The plurality of groups are four hair groups of first to fourth, the hair color of the first hair group is black, the hair color of the second hair group is dark brown, It is preferable that the hair color of the three hair group is orange and brown, and the hair color of the fourth hair group is light brown.

  The hue circle is preferably arranged in the order of red, red orange, orange, yellow orange, yellow, yellow green, green, blue green, blue, blue purple, purple, and red purple in this order.

  The color chart includes the first color group of red purple, red, red orange, the second color group of orange, yellow orange, yellow, the third color group of yellow green, green, blue green, blue, blue purple, purple. Colors grouped into four color groups and an achromatic fifth color group are arranged on the same surface, and in each group, the colors are arranged in the vertical direction in the order described above. . 1-No. 7 color examples are arranged in the horizontal direction. 4 is preferably the pure color of the color.

  The instructions describe “methods of combining similar colors”, “methods of combining complementary colors” and “methods of combining achromatic colors” by the hue circle, and methods of distinguishing the base color of clothing colors from the color chart. It is preferable.

  By using the color coordination support tool of the present invention, it is possible to individually select a color that suits you. In addition, it understands the rules of color and makes it possible to combine various colors into unique combinations.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
As shown in FIG. 1, the color coordination support tool of the present invention arranges a color ring 1 (see FIG. 1A) in which pure colors are arranged in a ring and color examples of each color of the hue ring 1 in a straight line. A color chart 2 (see FIG. 1B) and a manual 3 (see FIG. 1C) describing how to use the color wheel 1 and the color chart 2 are provided. This color coordination support tool is provided for each of a plurality of groups classified based on hair color.

  The pure color means a color having the highest saturation of each hue. Hue refers to colors such as red, yellow, and green.

The plurality of groups are divided into first to fourth hair groups.
The hair color of the first hair group is black. The hair color of the second hair group is dark brown. Specifically, it is the highlight of dark brown and dark red tea. The hair color of the third hair group is orange with strong brown. Specifically, red tea (orange) and red tea highlights (orange). The hair color of the fourth hair group is light brown. Specifically, the highlights are brown, light brown and dark blonde.

  In addition, although this invention was divided into four groups paying attention to the color of the hair of the Japanese woman who is a yellow race, it is not limited to what is divided into these four groups.

  Table 1 summarizes the hair group names and hair colors.

  The color of clothing that suits the color of hair and the color that does not suit it are determined as shown in Table 2.

  In the third hair group, since the hair color is strong orange, it is not possible to use a neutral color such as a neutral color.

  Also, the total image to be aimed at is determined as shown in Table 3.

  FIG. 2 is a detailed view of the hue ring 1 (sometimes referred to as “color wheel”). The hue ring 1 is arranged by arranging hues in a ring shape. The hue ring 1 is red, red orange, orange, yellow orange, yellow, yellow green, green, blue green, blue, blue purple, purple, red purple in this order, clockwise, concentric, circumferential direction It is arranged at equal intervals. Each color is colored in a black edge circle drawn on white paper. The opposing colors, for example, red and green are connected by a straight line so that the complementary color relationship becomes clear. On the outer peripheral side of each color, the name of the color is written as red, red orange, or the like.

  This hue ring 1 is printed on the surface of a lightweight board of 9.5 cm square (thickness 5 mm). In this lightweight board, a foamed resin plate is used as a core material, and both front and back surfaces are sandwiched between sheet materials. The reason for this size is that it is convenient to carry when shopping. However, it is not limited to this size, and it may be simply printed on paper.

  In this embodiment, the hue ring 1 has 12 colors, but may be 24 colors or the like, and the number of colors is not limited.

By the way, the colors shown in the hue ring 1 have a range. For example, in red, red including a red-purple side color or a red-orange side color can be considered as not a pure red color. The range of colors considered in this way is called a color group. In the color group thus conceived, as shown in FIG. 3, the blue-side red in the red group is “cold red” and the yellow-side red is “warm red”.

  The color close to yellow-green in the yellow group is “cold yellow”, and the color close to yellow orange and the primary color are “warm yellow”.

  4 is a detailed diagram of the color chart 2 (sometimes referred to as “color chart”). This color chart 2 is for treating each color in the hue circle 1 as a “group color” instead of a single color. Each group has various colors such as bright, dark, pure, and muddy. Various individual colors are called color examples.

  The color chart 2 shows the first color group 4 of red purple, red and red orange, the second color group 5 of orange, yellow orange and yellow, the third color group 6 of yellow green, green and blue green, blue and blue purple. The colors grouped into the purple fourth color group 7 and the achromatic (neutral) fifth color group 8 are arranged on the same surface of the white paper.

  In each color group, the colors are arranged from top to bottom in the order described above. 1-No. 7 different color examples 9 such as 7 kinds of color tones are arranged horizontally. No. 4 is the pure color of the color. From 4 to the left side (from No. 1 side), the color becomes brighter. It arrange | positions so that it may become a dark color as it goes to the right side from 4 (it goes to the No. 7 side). However, red and yellow are exceptions. 1 and No. 2 is “cold red”. 1 is “bright color”. 2 is a “dark color”. Example of yellow color No. 1 and No. No. 2 is “cold yellow”. 1 is “bright color”. 2 is a “dark color”. Further, at the left end of the color example 9 of each color, the names of the colors are described as magenta, red, red orange, etc., neutral colors, and the like.

This color chart 2 is used to distinguish the base color of clothing.
The color chart 2 is printed on the surface of a lightweight board having a width of 122 cm, a length of 46 cm, and a thickness of 5 mm in an open state. This board has vertical creases at two places on the left and right sides, and doubles on both sides. The closed state is 61.5 cm wide. One size of the color example 9 is 2.5 cm in width and 4 cm in length.

  The lightweight board of this color chart 2 is the same as the lightweight board of the hue ring 1, and this lightweight board uses a foamed resin plate material as a core material and sandwiches both front and back surfaces with a sheet material. It is. However, it is not limited to this size, and it may be simply printed on paper.

  The “fold” is formed by forming slits in the back side sheet material and the core material to separate the left and right sides, and the front side sheet material is one sheet. This fold can also be formed by hinge-joining three boards.

  The first color group is arranged at the lower part outside the left fold, the second and third color groups and the fifth color group are arranged at the lower part in the center, and the fourth color group is arranged outside the right fold. Has been.

  The hue ring 1 is printed on the upper part of the center. A summary 10 of instructions is printed on top of the outer portions of the left and right folds. The color chart is closed from the crease, and the printing surface is inside.

  The reason for this size is to make it easy to see the color examples and to facilitate color matching, but is not limited to this size.

  Usually, the color chart 2 is opened and used in a flat shape, but it can be opened in a self-supporting manner like a three-sided mirror, or can be used leaning against a wall.

  The color chart 2 of each group is different in the summary 10 of the manual printed there, and the color examples are the same. However, the “neutral color” in the heading of the fifth color group of the third hair group is a black character (black to white), which is different from other group characters (black characters).

  In this embodiment, the color example 9 of each color is No. 1-No. However, the number is not limited to this number.

  Moreover, although it divided and arrange | positioned in the 1st-5th color group, it is not limited to this, You may arrange | position, without dividing into groups. Further, in the vertical and horizontal columns, each color may be arranged horizontally, and color example 9 of that color may be arranged vertically.

  Here, a general example of how to make color example 9 for each color is a combination of pure color, pure color + white, pure color + black, cloudy color (pure color + opposite color), cloudy color + white, cloudy color + black. Made. However, it is not limited to this formulation. This color example is made so that it is easy to distinguish the base color of the clothing color that is generally seen.

  Specifically, it is as shown in Tables 4-7. The color symbols shown in each table are Munsell values. This Munsell value was determined by matching the colors printed in the “Color Name Dictionary” published on October 19, 2006, by Shinkigensha Co., Ltd., with the colors of Color Example 9 in Color Chart 2. is there. Therefore, in the present invention, the color is not limited to the one matching the Munsell value, and any color close to that color may be used.

  Further, the neutral color of the fifth color group is a lightness scale, and color examples of white to black having a high lightness to a low lightness are arranged in seven stages.

  In addition, red No. 1 and No. The color example 2 is cold red and yellow No. 2 is used. 1 and No. 2 is cold yellow. These color examples are aroused to be a cool color surrounded by a black frame in the color chart.

  5 to 12 show the contents of the summary 10. 5 and 6 are the contents of the summary 10 described on the left and right of the color chart 2 of the first hair group.

7 and 8 are the contents of the summary 10 described on the left and right of the color chart 2 of the second hair group.
9 and 10 are the contents of the summary 10 described on the left and right of the color chart 2 of the third hair group.

11 and 12 are the contents of the summary 10 described on the left and right of the color chart 2 of the fourth hair group.
13 to 52 are the manual 3. The instruction manual 3 includes a method of distinguishing a base color of clothing according to the color chart 2 from a “method of combining similar colors”, a “method of combining complementary colors” and a “method of combining achromatic colors” with the hue circle 1. Is described.

That is, the description for the first hair group is described as follows.
The first page of the manual described in FIG. 13 describes “hair color”, “skin color”, and “aim”.

  The second page of the manual described in FIG. 14 outlines how to use the color wheel and the color chart. Also, four methods of color combinations are listed. In the description, “similar colors” refers to a total of five colors, one color in the hue circle and two left and right colors, and “opposite color” refers to a certain color in the hue circle. It is a total of five colors, the colors facing each other and the two colors on the left and right.

  The third page of the manual described in FIG. 15 describes how to combine neutral colors (achromatic colors).

  The fourth page of the manual described in FIG. 16 describes a method for combining neutral colors (achromatic colors) and accent colors. Accent color refers to chromatic colors. That is, it is a method of combining chromatic and achromatic colors.

The fifth page of the manual described in FIG. 17 describes a method for combining similar colors.
The sixth page of the manual shown in FIG. 18 is a continuation of the fifth page.

The seventh page of the manual shown in FIG. 19 describes how to combine opposite colors.
The eighth page of the manual shown in FIG. 20 is a continuation of the seventh page.

The ninth page of the manual shown in FIG. 21 describes the upper and lower balance.
The tenth page of the manual shown in FIG. 22 describes tips for enhancing the face.

Note that the configuration of each page is not limited to that described above.
Next, as a specific use example of the color coordination support tool, a case where a black-haired woman chooses a blouse and skirt color will be described.

  First, buy a group support tool that belongs to your hair color. In this case, since it is black hair, the color coordination support tool of the 1st hair group is purchased. If you look at the “Aim” in the manual, you will see “Color lightness, strong and strong, strong and sharp image”. This “color light and darkness, strong and strong, sharp image” means that an extremely light color, an extremely dark color, and a pure color look good (any color in 12 groups may be used).

  First, the color of the blouse can be selected as desired according to his / her preference. For example, (1) pure orange (No. 4) red orange and (2) No. 2 in the color chart (color chart). Assume that one yellow two color is selected.

Next, when selecting the pure red orange of (1) above, the color of the skirt is the same color (the same color, the next color, the one next to the next color), the opposite color (the opposite color) The left and right two colors) or a neutral color (achromatic color) can be arbitrarily selected (an explanation to that effect is described in the manual). Therefore, a similar color is selected from a color wheel. In this case, yellow orange was selected. Next, one of the colors of the yellow-orange group is selected on the color chart. At this time, if you look at the instructions, it is explained that the color strength and contrast of light and dark are combined with a strong contrast. In order to increase the contrast with respect to 4, yellow orange No. 4 1 or No. Decide that 7 is good on the color chart. No. The yellow orange of 4 cannot be selected because the contrast of strength is lost. As a result, no. Set to 1 yellow orange.

  Neutral colors can be added as desired because they are achromatic colors (for example, achromatic colors can be used for shoes, bags, etc.).

  With the above, the blouse is pure red orange and the skirt is No. If it is 1 yellow orange, it will look good.

  Next, the blouse is No. 2 in (2). The selection of the skirt color when yellow 1 is selected is as follows.

  According to the description, the skirt color can be selected from the similar color, the opposite color, and the neutral color. In this case, the opposite color is selected. Select a similar color red from the color wheel. Then, from the color chart, a color to be selected from the red group is selected. At this time, according to the description, when red and yellow groups are combined, warm red + warm yellow, cold red + cold yellow. No. Since yellow of 1 is cold yellow, choose cold red. That is, no. 1 or No. Choose 2 red. And according to the manual, it is suggested that the color strength and the contrast of light and dark should be strongly combined and combined. No. 1 no. The red of 2 is No. No. 1 has a strong contrast with yellow. Choose 2 red.

  Neutral colors are achromatic, so you can add them as you like (for example, you can use achromatic colors for necklaces and bracelets).

  By the above, the blouse is No. 1 and the skirt is No. 1. If it is 2 red, it will look good.

  The instructions for the second to fourth hair groups described in FIGS. 23 to 52 are also substantially the same as those for the first hair group, so the description thereof is omitted.

  In the case of the second hair group, cold red and cold yellow are not suitable. Neutral color (achromatic) No. 1 and No. Since 7 is an extremely bright or dark color, it does not suit. Yellow-green no. The color example 3 is a strong and painful color, so it does not suit.

  The third hair group does not suit cold red and cold yellow. Neutral colors (achromatic colors) are not suitable. The painful color doesn't look good either. And how to combine similar colors and how to combine opposite colors differ from other groups. That is, when using similar colors, one color is selected from warm red, red orange, orange, yellow orange, and warm yellow, and similar colors are combined. As for the combination of opposite colors, one color is selected from red orange, orange, yellow orange, and warm yellow, and the opposite colors are combined.

  The fourth hair group is almost the same as the second hair group, but since the hair color has a slightly brighter and softer impression than the second hair group, it is better to choose a slightly softer clothing color.

  The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment.

  The present invention can be used in the apparel industry.
