Application of a New Color Universal Design Method Based on the Color Appearance of Dichromats to a Campus Map

Abstract

It is necessary to avoid using of confusion colors of dichromats in order to mediate information defined by color in visual materials to anyone. Such a color design method is called color universal design. Dichromatic simulators have been widely used for the color universal design. Recently, a new color universal design method without a dichromatic simulator has been proposed. Yoshitake et al. made a color sample set for the new color universal design method by the Natural Color System chips containing 1948 colors. We designed a campus map using their sample set in a campus barrierfree design project at Kyushu University. We show the results of the Kyushu University barrier-free design project.
