Description

  The present invention relates to a color sample book for indicating colors obtained from a paint used for painting a structure such as a building and selecting a desired color from those colors.

Conventionally, colors are proposed and selected by a color sample card or a color sample book in which a plurality of such cards are combined, and the color after the paint is dried and cured is often determined. Many of these color sample cards have many sample books that are digitized by Munsell values and the like, symbolized, and arranged and displayed in order based on the symbols and numeric values.
The Munsell value is obtained by classifying colors into hue, lightness, and saturation, converting each of them into numerical values, and combining these three numerical values.
Japan Paint Industry Association Standard Sample Book for Paints This sample book is a representative example of a color sample book, and is used in many cases. The colors are arranged in order of hue, and the order of brightness and saturation. The colors changed to are arranged in order.

However, in such a color sample book, the color of the main color and the other colors are simply arranged in numerical order in a single color sample card, and the difference between the previous and next colors is clearly shown. For example, it is necessary to increase the difference in hue and to provide a difference in brightness and saturation.
As a result, there is little relationship between the color sample cards that make up the color sample book, and since color harmony is not considered, the color uniformity of the entire color sample book is light, and the color arrangement of the color sample book itself is smooth and supple. In some cases, it is difficult to select a desired color accurately. Also, the color selection operation is monotonous and mechanical.

In addition, when such a color sample card, color sample book, or the like is used, two or more colors are selected, such as selecting two or more coherent colors or selecting a coherent color for one color. There is a sense of unity in color and it may be difficult to achieve a coherent color scheme.
In particular, in a structure such as a building, it is often necessary to select a color with a sense of unity and unity. In the case where it is not possible to select a unity or a unity color, there may be a sense of incongruity in the appearance of the structure, and it may be difficult to cooperate with the surrounding natural environment and buildings. In addition, in a room, there may be no calmness due to the uncomfortable color.
In other words, the conventional one expresses a color as a single color, and thus a plurality of colors are combined to form a unified sense.

The present invention has been made paying attention to the problems existing in the prior art as described above. Its purpose is to focus on the main color in the color card and to display the main color around the main color and the many colors displayed on the color cards before and after the color card. It is an object of the present invention to provide a color sample book that can easily select a color that matches the main color, and that can be used to produce a color with a unified and uniform finish .

In order to achieve the above object, the color sample book according to the first aspect of the present invention is characterized in that a main color displayed on a display unit larger than other color display units in the same color card and the main color are A color sample book in which a plurality of color cards having three or more color display portions composed of other colors having different hues are combined in order and bundled using a fastener, and the color displayed on each color card The hue range has a hue range that forms an angle of 13.68 to 22.68 °, the hue range of each color card is different, and the hue of the color that is the main color of one specified color card is The gist of the invention is that it is included in a hue range composed of colors displayed on a color card that is in contact with at least one of the specified color cards.

  The color sample book of the invention described in claim 2 is summarized in that, in the invention described in claim 1, three or more colors displayed on the color card have different brightness or saturation.

The color sample book of the invention described in claim 3 is characterized in that, in the invention described in claim 1 or claim 2, the main color display portion of the color card is in the central portion of the color card .

According to the color sample book of the invention described in claim 1, the color card having the main color centered on the main color in the color card and the color card in front of and behind the color card. A color that matches the main color can be easily selected from the many colors displayed on the screen, and a color arrangement using the color can be used to achieve a unified and uniform finish.

  According to the color sample book of the invention described in claim 2, in addition to the effect of the invention described in claim 1, many colors can be expressed on one color card, and a color matched with the main color is obtained. It can be easily selected from many colors.

  According to the color sample book of the invention described in claim 3, in addition to the effect of the invention described in claim 1 or claim 2, the display color of the main color is easy to understand and matches the main color centering on the main color. The selected color can be easily selected.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail.
The color sample book in this invention is composed of a plurality of color cards, and the color card displays three or more colors, and the displayed color is obtained by drying and curing the paint. This is for selecting and confirming the color of a coating film to be formed later, for selecting the color obtained by painting a coating to be painted with a paint and confirming the obtained color.

  When checking whether the color selected before painting is the same as the color obtained, a color swatch that displays only one color without using a color swatch that displays multiple colors. However, when colors are selected before painting, a plurality of such color cards displaying more colors and a color sample book combining a plurality of them are required.

The color sample book described in the present invention is mainly used when selecting a color before painting, and thus is a color sample book showing many colors, and constitutes the color sample book. The color card displays three or more colors.
Since three or more colors are displayed in this way, the main color can be set from among the colors on the color card, and the set main color can be easily distinguished from other colors. Identification becomes easy. When setting the main color on this color card, the main color display part is made larger than the other color display parts in the color card, so that the identification is easy and the color matching the main color is more Easy to choose.

Since the main color display portion is located at the center of the color card, it is easy to identify and recognize the main color on the color card, and it is possible to more easily select a color that matches the main color.
In addition, when the method of bundling a color sample book in which a plurality of color cards are combined is such that the end portion of the color card is fastened by a fastener, the main color display portion of the color card is in addition to the central portion. Even if a display portion is provided on the opposite side of the fixed end portion, the main color can be easily identified and recognized. Further, how to bundle the color cards will be described later.

This main color is a representative color among the colors displayed on one color card, and other colors in one color card are determined based on this main color. become. The impression and image of the entire color card are important.
This main color is preferably the lightest light color or intermediate intermediate color. In the case of the darkest dark color, the impression of the dark color is large, the impression of other light colors and intermediate colors is light, and the color selection is It can be difficult. In addition, the impression of the main color between the color cards may be too strong, resulting in an uncoordinated color sample book, or the color card may become dark overall and the color sample book image may deteriorate.

When the lightest light color is used as the main color, the brightness of the main color between the color cards is close, and the overall color is uniform. By using the light color as the main color, a color sample book with a bright image is obtained.
In addition, by making the main color of one color card the thinnest light color, by making the light color that is hard to stand the first artificially, there are few images of other colors other than the main color, and the influence It becomes difficult to receive, and it is balanced with dark colors and intermediate colors that have a strong impression compared to light colors, and the selection of colors becomes relatively easy, and the color card as a whole is excellent.

  When an intermediate intermediate color is the main color, when selecting a color from a plurality of color cards, select the intermediate main color and select a lighter or darker color from the color card with the selected color. You can check and determine the final color. In addition, the final color can be determined by confirming from the color on the color card near the color card. As described above, it is easy to select a color, which is one of the preferable forms.

  In this color sample book, the hue of the main color in one specified color card is included in the hue range of the color card that is in contact with at least one of the specified one color card. It is. As a result, a color that matches the main color of one specified color card can be selected from the other colors on the color card and the color card before and / or after the color card. Therefore, the color to be selected can be selected from many colors, and furthermore, since it can be selected from colors near the main color, it can be selected relatively easily and quickly.

In addition, such a color sample book arranges colors close to the hue of the main color of a specified color card around it, and arranges color samples without a sense of incongruity because the color scheme changes in order. Can be united and have a sense of unity.
In general, a color has attributes of hue, lightness, and saturation, which may represent a color. Hue refers to the difference in color such as red, blue, and yellow, and this uncolored color is called an achromatic color, such as white, black, and gray, and colors such as red, blue, and yellow Things that have a glimpse are called chromatic colors.

  This chromatic hue may be expressed using the hue circle shown in FIG. 1. This hue circle is red (5R), orange (5YR), yellow (5Y), yellow-green (5GY), green. 10 representative colors (5G), blue-green (5BG), blue (5B), indigo (5PB), purple (5P), and magenta (5RP) are arranged in order around the circle at regular intervals in a clockwise direction. Each color is displayed with a combination of numbers and alphabets, and the representative colors are further divided into four parts, the hues are displayed finely, and the hue circle is divided into 40 parts. As shown in FIG.

This hue circle is 5R → 5R → 10R → 2.5YR → 5YR and the red color progresses clockwise toward 5YR, which is the center of orange in the clockwise direction. This indicates that the color approaches orange, and the same applies to other colors. Further, 7.5YR → 10YR, and so on.
The hue is often used by the 40-divided hue circle shown in FIG. 2, and there are others in which the entire hue circle is divided into 100, and in recent years, the hue circle is becoming more detailed.

For example, a more detailed representation can be expressed by expressing the numerical value up to 1/10 (e.g., 1000 divided hue ring) such as 7.8R, 5.5R, 0.2R, or 0.04GY. In some cases, the numerical value is expressed to the order of 1/100 (hue ring of 10,000 divisions). By displaying in detail like this, it is possible to express innumerable hues in more detail.
Thus, the hue circle represents a change in color from red to yellow, green, blue, purple, and back to red. This is the Munsell color system hue display, and the Munsell value is a numerical display of the color combining this hue and the saturation and lightness described later.

  The hue range in the present invention is an angle range including hues of three or more colors displayed on any one of a plurality of color cards constituting the color sample book. For example, when there are three colors displayed on one color card and the colors are red (5R), yellow-green (5GY), and blue (5B), the hue range is the minimum angle. The range in which the angle is formed in the order of 5R → 5GY → 5B is the hue range, and is represented by an angle of 0 ° to 216 ° as shown in FIG.

  Further, in the case of red (5R), yellow and yellow-green intermediate color (10Y), blue-green (5BG), purple (5P) as shown in FIG. 3 (2), the hue range is 5P → 5R → The range formed in the order of 10Y → 5BG is the range of 288 to 90 °, and as shown in FIG. 3 (3), red (5R), intermediate color between yellow and yellow-green (10Y), blue-green (5BG) In the case of indigo (5PB), the hue range is formed in the order of 5R → 10Y → 5BG → 5PB, and is in the range of 0 ° to 252 °.

  In this way, the hue range is determined. However, when a plurality of colors are equally spaced, the hue range is all 360 °, and there is no hue range. For example, when four colors (5R, 10Y, 5BG, 10PB) are arranged at equal intervals as shown in FIG. 4 (1), or five colors (5R, 5Y, 5G, 5B, 5P) are used as shown in FIG. 4 (2). For example, they are arranged at regular intervals.

  In the case of four colors of red and yellow-green (10R), yellow (5Y), blue-green (10BG), and (5PB) as shown in FIG. 4 (3), 10R → 5Y → 5BG → 5PB A range of 18 ° to 252 ° formed in this order and a range of 198 ° to 72 ° formed in the order of 10BG → 5PB → 10R → 5Y and two hue ranges at the same angle. The occurrence of two hue ranges in this way means that there is no minimum hue range.

As described above, the hue range of the present invention is a minimum angle including all the colors arranged in a hue circle by arranging a plurality of colors displayed on one color card.
The hue range of one color card is set as described above. The main color of the color card that is in contact with at least one of the front and rear of the color card in which the hue range is set is included in this hue range. In other words, if you select any of the multiple color cards, the main color of the color card is included in the hue range of the next color card or the previous color card. It is what.

  By adopting such a configuration, the color card that displays the main color centered on the main color centered on the main color in the color card and the color cards that are displayed before and after the color card are often displayed. Colors that match the main color can be easily selected from among the colors, and the color arrangement using the colors can be used to achieve a coherent finish.

In addition, since the hues displayed on a plurality of color cards constituting the color sample book continuously change and the hue range varies depending on each color card, one color sample book can What can display a color without a sense of incongruity can be obtained.
Furthermore, the color is often expressed by combining lightness and saturation as elements other than the hue. The lightness indicates the degree of brightness. When the lightness is low, the lightness indicates a blackish color, and when the lightness is high, the lightness indicates a whitish color. Saturation represents the vividness of the color. When the saturation is low, the color indicates a dark and dull color, and the large indicates a color with a strong vivid color.

Furthermore, a color impression may be expressed by a color tone that combines the concepts of lightness and saturation. This color tone is a change in color tone due to changes in lightness and saturation, which greatly affects the color intensity and brightness, and is expressed by numerical values. .
The lightness is expressed by 8 levels from 2 to 9 including an achromatic color, and the lightness is generally set from 0 to 1, 2, 3,... As much as possible. It is often expressed in places.

  When the Munsell symbol is used to display this color, it is displayed in the order of hue lightness / saturation (○○ △ ×× / ◇◇). Is an uppercase alphabet that represents a rough color, and is used as 7.5YR4.8 / 3.0, 5.0PB4.1 / 2.0, 10.0GY6.8 / 1.8, etc. Is.

  In addition, such hue, brightness, and saturation are often displayed as Munsell symbols on general color cards, but if they are not displayed, they can be measured with a colorimeter. Some types of colorimeters can directly measure hue, lightness, and saturation, and can be obtained by converting measured values of other colors.

It is preferable that one color card constituting the color sample book displays three or more colors and has different brightness or saturation. More preferably, both the brightness and the saturation are different from each other.
As a result, in one color card, it is possible to easily display many colors that match the main color with colors that do not feel uncomfortable with the main color of the color card, and to easily select from the displayed colors. Can do.

Next, the color sample book will be described in detail.
Since this color sample book is a combination of a plurality of color cards, it is necessary to bundle these color cards. As a method of bundling, there are cases where individual color cards are bundled with rubber, strings, etc. or stored in a case. Further, a method of fastening the end of the color card with a fastener is taken. By bundling as described above, a plurality of color cards are collected to form a color sample book. Of these bundling methods, many are fastened using fasteners. By using the fasteners, the color sample book can be used and stored without causing the color cards in units of one piece to fall apart and without disturbing the order of the color cards.

  An example of a color sample book bundled using such a fastener is shown in FIG. The illustrated color sample book 11 is formed by bundling a plurality of color cards 12 using a fastener 13 such as a bag. The fastening position by the fastener is the center of the end portion of the color card, but is not limited to the center of the end portion, and may be a corner portion of the color card.
