  Therefore, according to the present invention, individual preferences, hobbies, seasons, surrounding atmosphere, etc. of the colors used in various fields such as clothes and personal belongings that individuals come into contact with each other, furniture, interiors, etc. It is an object of the present invention to provide a color scale for color harmonization that is useful when or is used to select a harmonized color or combination of colors.

  The composition of the color scale of the present invention, which has been made for the purpose of solving the above problems, has at least yellow, yellowish green, green, blue-green, green-blue, blue, blue-violet, purple, red-purple, red, red-orange, Twelve colors of yellow-orange are arranged in a circle in the order of the hues described above, and for each hue color, there are nine colors of similar hues, three high-lightness colors, and three medium-lightness colors. , Arranged in order of the three low-lightness colors from the outer periphery side of the ring toward the center, forming a concentric multiple ring with the ring, and the three colors of each lightness from the outer periphery side of the ring toward the center , Low saturation, medium saturation, high saturation, high saturation, medium saturation, low saturation, low saturation, medium saturation, and high saturation.

  The above-described color scale of the present invention can also be formed by a configuration in which each color is arranged in the same arrangement as described above on a full-color type liquid crystal screen instead of the base mount. Further, the colors arranged in a concentric multiple ring on the base are obtained by arranging substantially the same number of yellow undertones and blue undertones in similar colors.

  For each color arranged on the scale of the present invention described above, when any one of the circularly arranged colors is selected as a reference, the opposite color (or complementary color) is related to the reference color. A color selection mask formed so that other colors as well as colors of similar hues with respect to the reference color can be seen is used. The color selection mask is formed of a circular plate having substantially the same shape as the annular shape of the color disposed on the outermost periphery of the color scale, and the reference color or the like is formed in a radial arc shape extending radially from the center of the circular plate. A window hole for viewing the selected color is formed.

  The color scale of the present invention presents standard colors used in people's living space and various fields of life arranged in a circular and concentric order according to hue, so you can choose your favorite color or choose It is possible to easily and quickly select a color that matches the selected color. In particular, according to the present invention, since the colors arranged on the scale are almost the same number of yellow undertones and blue undertones in similar colors, a color scale for harmonizing the colors of the undertone colors (hereinafter referred to as CUS color scale). Is very suitable.

  Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. 1 is a plan view of an example of the CUS color scale of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a plan view of an example of a color selection mask combined with the CUS color scale of FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a diagram of the CUS color scale of FIG. It is a top view of an example in the combined state.

  In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a mount on which the CUS color scale of the present invention is formed. Here, high-quality cardboard of the size of B5 or A4 is used, but the size and material of the paper are arbitrary. The mount 1 can be replaced with a plastic plate or a liquid crystal screen. The planar shape of the mount 1 is a rectangular shape, but may be a shape other than a rectangle, for example, a circular shape or a polygonal shape.

  A circle 2 (also referred to as a ring 2) having an appropriate radius is drawn on the upper surface of the mount 1, and the circle 2 is divided into a plurality of division lines 3 and concentric division lines 4 on the diameter. In the example shown in the figure, the number of sections is 144 on the radius of the ring (in the radial direction from the center) and 144 sections in total in the circumferential direction with 16 rows. In all the above-mentioned sections, a plurality of colors are arranged in each section in the same radial direction according to a certain rule. That is, in nine sections (also referred to as similar hue sections) located in the same radial direction, a color of medium brightness and same hue that includes a pure color of the hue in one section located approximately in the middle of the radius of the circle 2 From the intermediate position toward the outer peripheral side of the circle 2 and a similar hue color with high brightness toward the center of the circle, and a similar hue color with low brightness toward the center of the circle.

  In this way, similar hue colors are arranged in each of nine sections located on all the same radial directions in the 12 rows of sections adjacent in the circumferential direction of the circle 2. Here, the similar hues arranged in each row (radiation direction) of the nine similar hues are divided into three low-lightness colors, three medium-lightness colors, and 3 in order from the center side of the circle 2 to the outer periphery. Two high lightness colors are arranged, but the color of each lightness group is high, medium, low (low lightness color), low, medium, respectively, from the center of the ring toward the outer periphery. , High (medium light color), high, medium, low (high light color).

  An example of the CUS color scale of the present invention is formed as described above. The color arrangement of each hue is either directly printed on each section on the mount 1 or a color sample is attached. May be. Further, since the circle 2 and the lane markings 3 and 4 are formed by the boundaries of the respective colors, the lane markings need not be drawn separately. In the mount 1, 6a is a shaft hole.

In the present invention, the arrangement of the colors of each of the hues described above is the CUS of the present invention configured to form the same color as the above example on the full color liquid crystal screen and arrange all the same colors as above in the same manner as above. There is also a color scale.
In the CUS color scale of the present invention, each color arranged in the order of lightness from the center to the radial division on the same radius of the circle 2 drawn on the mount 1 in the order of lightness from the center side to low, medium, and high. Are arranged in a hue arrangement of hue circles on the circumference of the mount 1 and the liquid crystal screen. Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the color scale of the present invention is easy to use in order to achieve color harmony because the blue undertone and the yellow undertone are arranged in similar colors. In FIG. 3, Bu means a blue undertone and Yu means a yellow undertone.

  As described above, the colors of a plurality of hues are positioned in the middle of the section on the radius with the medium lightness pure color, and the colors of the respective hues are arranged in the order of lightness of low, medium, and high from the center on the radius. A color selection mask 5 is arranged on the center of the circle 2 of the mount 1 so as to be rotatable by a shaft 6 illustrated in FIG. The mask 5 is sized to cover all the colors arranged on the mount 1, but has a window hole described later. The planar shape of the mask 5 may be other shapes besides the circular shape shown in FIG. In the color selection mask 5, 6a is a shaft hole formed at the center of the circle.

On the radius of the color selection mask 5, a window hole 7 is provided on the radius for viewing a similar hue system color provided in a row of radial sections arranged on the mount 1 through the mask 5. . Further, a window hole 8 is provided at a symmetrical position with respect to the window hole 7 and the shaft hole 6a.
In the CUS color scale of the present invention, when the color visible from the window hole 7 is a reference color, the color visible from the window hole 8 is an opposite color that is complementary to the reference color.

  In view of the relationship with other window holes to be described later in the CUS color scale of the present invention or the convenience of use, here, the window hole 7 located in the upper part of FIG. The window hole 8 positioned below is used as a complementary color to the reference color, that is, a window hole for the opposite color, and indications 7a and 8a are provided on the window holes 7 and 8, respectively.

  In the color selection mask 5 shown in FIG. 2, reference numerals 9 and 10 denote window holes for viewing colors of similar colors similar to the reference color formed on the left and right sides of the reference color window hole 7, and reference numerals 11 and 12 respectively. The opposite color (complementary color) window holes 8 are arranged on the left and right sides of the opposite color window hole, and the 90-degree window hole where the opposite color of the reference color seen from the window hole 7 faces the reference color. 8 or window hole 11 or 12 is visible.

In the example shown in the figure, the similar colors are located at an angle of 90 degrees including the reference color when viewed from the reference color, and the window holes 9 and 10 therefor are wide so that the colors straddling two hues can be seen. Is formed.
On the other hand, the opposite colors including the complementary color as viewed from the reference color are formed with only one hue width as the window holes 8, 11, and 12. Reference numerals 9a, 10a and 11a, 12a are displays indicating the similar colors (also referred to as similar hues) of the reference color 7 and their opposite colors (also referred to as opposite hues). In the CUS color scale of the present invention, it is arbitrary whether the width of each of the window holes 8 to 12 is set to one hue portion or two hue portions.

  In the color selection mask 5 applied to the CUS color scale of the present invention, doors other than the window hole 7 may be provided with doors of a single opening type, a double opening type, or a sliding type. By providing such a door, you can imagine what hue, lightness, or saturation a complementary color has to the selected reference color before viewing the actual color. In addition, the actual color can be confirmed by opening the door, which is useful for image training to select a harmonious color.

  As described above, the center of the color selection mask 5 may be rotatably stopped by a shaft 6 such as a eyelet at the annular center of the CUS color scale of the present invention formed on the mount 1 as described above.

  The method of using the CUS color scale of the present invention is as follows. First, the mask 5 is placed with the axial holes 6a of the mask 5 aligned so that a desired color on the color scale of the mount 1 can be seen from the window hole 7. In this way, a color that is complementary to the reference color visible from the window hole 7 can be seen from the window hole 8. Further, opposite colors similar to the complementary color of the reference color visible from the window hole 8 can be seen from the window holes 11 and 12 on both the left and right sides of the window hole 8. That is, the color of each hue considered to be easy to harmonize can be seen from each window hole.

  Therefore, when the reference color visible from the window hole 7 is changed by rotating the mask 5, the colors of the hues having the same relationship as the above example with respect to the reference color are viewed from the other window holes 8 and 9-12. be able to. In the CUS color scale of the present invention, a window hole 7 in which the reference color can be seen on the color selection mask 5, and window holes 9 and 10 in which a color similar to the reference color can be seen on the left and right sides of the window hole 7, Since the window holes 8, 11 and 12 in which the opposite colors can be seen including the complementary colors are formed, the similar color scheme and the opposite color scheme can be selected simultaneously.

  The present invention is as described above. When a plurality of colors having different hues are arranged concentrically and in a multiple ring shape in the circumferential direction, and a reference color is selected from this color group, the reference color is constant. You can see the colors of other hues that are in a relationship with each other at a glance, so you can choose a harmonious color that is indispensable in various products, products, or life situations, or a color arrangement such as a combination of colors. There is a special effect that everyone can easily do.
