Abstract

The study connected with the problem of color vision in the ethnic culture. The focus of the author is the art of folk costume for the indigenous peoples in Tyumen North (Khanty, Mansi and Nenets). Using Luscher color test, the author developed the criteria for the analysis of color symbolism in traditional costume: dominant (primary colors that craftsman presents traditional clothing highlights as a characteristic for their ethnic group and keep it as an ideal which we should follow). This criterion correlated in tests Luscher with a “+” – wants to be; the subdominant (color ornamental symbols that usually tell about the relationship in human world). The criterion is matched, according to Lusero, with the function of “x”, which is as a manifestation of human capabilities in interaction with outside world. Tonic (color accents in the stripes and small details) corresponds the function of “=”, meaning the actions the person performs, and, in the opinion of the author, with ethno-psychological features of master as a representative of the national community, ethnic group. The author thinks that base on criteria helps to perform color symbolism in traditional costume and to correlate it with the ethnopsy-chology.
