DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail.
The present invention relates to a color card in which a plurality of color samples of three or more are arranged side by side, and among the plurality of color samples shown, the area of the color sample in which the light color sample indicating the lightest color indicates other colors Is bigger than that.
[0014]
In this color card, a plurality of color samples of three or more are arranged on one color card, and the color of a coating film formed after the paint is dried and cured is selected and confirmed. That is, it is for selecting the color obtained by the coating of the coating coated with the paint and confirming the obtained color.
When checking whether the color obtained is the same as the color selected before painting, there is no need to indicate multiple colors on the color card, but when selecting a color before painting, one color is displayed on the color card. When only a color sample is shown, a larger number of color cards are required than a color card on which a plurality of color samples are shown.
[0015]
Since the color card described in the present invention is mainly for selecting colors before painting, it is a color card in which many color samples are shown, and more than three color samples are shown. It is necessary to be. Since three or more color samples are shown, even if the hue is the same, colors having different brightness can be shown. That is, a dark color sample, a light color sample, and an intermediate color sample having the same hue can be displayed on one color card.
[0016]
The color is expressed by, for example, hue, brightness, and saturation. The distinction between light and dark colors is mainly influenced by lightness and saturation. The lightness represents the brightness of the color, and the saturation represents the vividness of the color. When the brightness is low, it indicates a blackish color, and when it is high, it indicates a whitish color. When the saturation is low, it indicates a darker and darker color, and when it is higher, it indicates a bright color.
[0017]
In the present invention, by the height of the brightness, dark and low color, high and performs distinction as a pale, when the height of the brightness are the same, the height of chroma, concentrated to low color, A high one is distinguished as a light color. When creating a color card, the color shown on one color card is determined. Of the determined colors, the lightest color is specified as the light color sample and the low color is specified as the dark color sample. If the lightness is the same, the low color is the dark color and the high color is the light color. To do. The intermediate color is used as an intermediate color sample. The intermediate color sample can be arbitrarily determined as long as it is located between a light color and a dark color.
[0018]
Of the multiple color swatches shown on the color card, the light color swatch showing the lightest color is larger than the area of the color swatch showing the other colors, so that the color that matches the desired image can be selected accurately. can do. That is, a color close to the image is roughly selected by a light color, and a color card showing the roughly selected color is selected. After selecting a color card having a color close to the image, a color that matches the image can be selected and determined from a plurality of other colors in the color card.
[0019]
[0020]
In addition, when selecting a color close to an image using a light color sample, the color of a structure such as a building is often selected, which takes into account the environment and aesthetics around the structure. Since there are many, light color is often selected as a basis. However , among the multiple color samples shown on the color card, this light color is lighter than the dark and intermediate colors, and is affected by other colors and is inferior, so it is difficult to select the light color. It will be. Therefore, by making the area of the light color sample relatively large in the color card, it is possible to make it difficult to be influenced by the colors in the other color samples.
[0021]
Furthermore, when the intermediate color sample and the dark color sample are compared, it is preferable that the area of the intermediate color sample is larger than the area of the dark color sample. As a result, the color card is less affected by dark colors.
It is preferable that the color to be selected and determined is actually a dark color of about one level than the color to be given to a building or the like. This is because when a color is applied to a large area such as a building, it often feels that the color is lighter than the color indicated by the small area such as a color sample.
[0022]
Next, an embodiment of the color card of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. The color card of the present invention is preferably rectangular. The rectangular shape may improve the efficiency of color card creation, storage, transportation, and the like.
