Finding Harmonious Combinations in a Color System Using Relational Algebra

Abstract

AbstractRecently, the importance of interest in color harmony is increasing. For this, the paper focuses on harmony between colors. Selecting colors by mere feelings, however, can bring about results that do not fit in with the overall concept and can cause differences according to social environment, conscience, gender, etc. However, learning the color harmony theory requires a lot of time since users have to know the color harmony theory, and train for color combination. To solve this problem, the paper present the method finding harmonious combinations based on color harmony theories using relational algebra. The method proposes the color harmony rule based on the color harmony theory and formalized the rule. Through this, users can produce the same results in color selection as professionals without the expert knowledge in color.KeywordsColorColor HarmonyColor Harmony TheoryRelational Algebra
