Abstract:

Colour is an important component of product design and can influence usage interaction. This study aimed to study the influence of the colour of everyday products on the emotional response and perceived usability of senior adult females. Thirty women between 60 and 80 years old participated, who evaluated clay sausage roaster in three different colours, based on two protocols: Emotional Response Cards (ERC) and Perceived Usability Cards (PUC). The product in the “Terracotta” colour was significantly (p ≤ 0.05) better evaluated (emotional response and perceived usability) than the products in t

Abstract:

It has often been suggested that terms are not prone to variation. Moreover, many standardizing organizations and terminology textbooks take a prescriptive approach to term formation and use in which they disparage variation. However, we believe that variation is not due to arbitrariness or carelessness, but rather that it is well-motivated and useful in expert discourse. We hypothesize that multidimensional classification is one of the determining factors behind term choice and we present an empirical study of the influence of multidimensional classification on term use in which we examine va

Abstract:

Colours are one of the most important factors in everyday life. The exact number of existing colours is not yet fully known. Nevertheless, people are known for having poor colour memory. The ability to remember colours depends both on the characteristics of an individual and the situation in which the colour needs to be recalled. The field of colour memory (perception and memory of unusual colours) has been very poorly researched. The aim of this study was to analyse long-term colour memory for selected associative colours, comparing it with short-term colour memory. The research approach was

Abstract:

We investigated whether the learning of colour terms in childhood is constrained by a developmental order of acquisition as predicted by Berlin and Kay [1969 Basic Color Terms (Berkeley, CA: University of California Press)]. Forty-three children, aged between 2 and 5 years and grouped according to language ability, were given two tasks testing colour conceptualisation. Colour comprehension was assessed in a spoken-word-to-colour-matching task in which a target colour was presented in conjunction with two distractor colours. Colour naming was measured in an explicit naming task in which colours

Abstract:

Abstract Colour is one of the central categories of both a conceptual and a linguistic world of image, correlated with an axiological and an esthetic assessment, a semiotic and value world of image of a given national culture, which allows us to talk about colour preferences, ethnic colour mentality, colour gaps and colour universals, that is, about the colour world of image. In addition, colours have senses specific to particular fields, from physics over printing to senses used in everyday life.

Abstract:

Berlin & Kay’s basic colour term framework claims that there is an ordering in the diachronic development of languages’ colour systems. One generalisation is that primary colours, WHITE, BLACK, RED, YELLOW, GREEN, BLUE, are lexicalised before derived colours, which are perceptual blends, e.g. ORANGE is the blend of YELLOW and RED. The colour systems of Lower Sorbian and Upper Sorbian offer an important typological contribution. It is already known that primary colour space can contract upon the emergence of a basic derived term; our findings indicate that derived categories also shift as

SUMMARYPrevious research has suggested that fry colour of processed potatoes is inversely correlated with tuber reducing sugar content, and agronomic practice should therefore be tailored to minimize amounts of tuber sugars at harvest and during storage as a means of maximizing processing quality. A total of 30 experiments from three sites in England from 1985 to 1988 examined this hypothesis for two cultivars using a wider range of husbandry than that used in practice and long periods of storage. No tuber sugar value was sufficiently well correlated with fry colour for the relationship to be

In an early study, the so-called “relevant colour” in a painting was heuristically introduced as a term to describe the number of colours that would stand out for an observer when just glancing at a painting. The purpose of this study is to analyse how observers determine the relevant colours by describing observers’ subjective impressions of the most representative colours in paintings and to provide a psychophysical backing for a related computational model we proposed in a previous work. This subjective impression is elicited by an efficient and optimal processing of the most representative

This paper studies the use of colour influenced terms in some Nigerianisms.

Generally, Berlin and Kay’s (1969) Basic Colour Terms feature in uniquely Nigerian expressions. Metonymy as a cognitive process explains the semantic extensions of some colour terms involved. These extensions of meaning could yield to forming figurative expressions, for example, black axe. The main metonymic process that yields the semantic produc

Secondary colour terms of beauty products reflect people’s experience, mentality, their interpretations of objective reality, their cultural traditions and language features. Such terms may be both universal and ethnospesific. The largest thematic groups of colour terms under analysis are the following: «colours», «flowers», «natural phen

Colour symbolism permeated the world of indigenous North America. This symbolism was often tied to the cosmos where the earth was viewed as a quadrilateral disk and each of the four cardinal directions was linked with a colour array such as red, white, black, and blue. We suggest that the recurring use of certain colours and colour contrasts comprised a suite of long-term historical practices that were essential for reproducing certain views about the world and about being in the world. Further, the rendering of colour had a plasticity that allowed it to enter a discourse about daily life that

ABSTRACT: This article examines a set of terms in the semantic domain of horse colours in Middle Welsh. In the absence of a Basic Colour Term (BCT) for brown in its colour system, Middle Welsh deployed a combination of specialized adjectives and contextually-restricted uses of BCTs for red and yellow to describe the full range of horse coats in the brown range. It is argued that, like other equestrian cultures, medieval Wales would have had a nuanced and sophisticated collection of descriptive terms for horses and that its small number of BCTs in no way indicates a limited discernment of colou

Retinex is a colour vision model introduced by Land more than 40 years ago. Since then, it has also been widely and successfully used for image enhancement. However, Retinex often introduces colour and halo artefacts. Artefacts are a necessary consequence of the per channel color processing and the lack of any strong control for controlling the locality of the processing (halos are very local errors). In this paper we relate an input to the corresponding output processed retinex image by using a single shading term which is both spatially varying and smooth and a global colour shift. This coup

ABSTRACTWe report a study of the acquisition of colour terms by speakers of Setswana, the language of Botswana in Southern Africa. This was carried out as a test of Berlin & Kay's theory of colour term universals, on a language with less than the maximum complement of eleven basic colour terms, and in order to document changes in Setswana under the impact of economic development. Seventy-seven five- to nine-year-olds were studied on two colour tasks: elicited lists and colour naming. In general the data were consistent with Berlin & Kay's theory: the rank order of frequency of correct

Abstract This paper is a corpus-based study of certain key nouns used in promotional texts describing cheese in English. A corpus of online cheese descriptions was compiled to extract lexical information regarding the characterization of cheese. All in all, 37 key nouns were identified and classified into 7 semantic categories: appearance, part, colour, aroma, texture, taste and quality ranking. All the occurrences of each key noun were analysed to obtain an exhaustive inventory of the phraseological patterns in which they occur. The results show both objective characteristics (size, shape and

Abstract:

Most birds,both domestic chicks and adult chickens,belong to the group of animals which have a relatively well developed mechanism for visual perception and discrimination (Hurnik et al , 1971). Furthermore, this ability extends to a differentiation between certain areas of the colour spectrum. According to Bell and Freeman (1971) fowls can more easily be trained to distinguish colours than to distinguish intensity.The present study was designed to investigate whether a response in the initial and long-term preference of broilers could be achieved by using different colour light after being re

Abstract:

The innate colour preference of 51 groups of 20 fry was examined at resorption of the visible yolk sac. A mixture of equal portions of blue, red, green, yellow, and unstained cod or capeling eggs were given to fry for 10-min feeding intervals after which fry stomach contents were examined and numbers of each colour of egg consumed were tabulated. Fry showed innate colour preference for red eggs; however, this could be changed to any other colour by only one previous feeding with eggs of the desired colour. This single-trial learning was retained up to 6 h after feeding but began to deteriorate

The article is devoted to the study of the dynamics of development and the current state of linguacultural meanings in colour terms that are used in English-language women’s prose. In the course of the analysis of the theoretical and methodological material, it has been revealed that the colour terms in the literary text contribute to the fact that the descriptions and pictures drawn by its author are perceived as correctly as possible by the reader, and the latter more accurately perceives the sensations and emotions experienced by the characters at different moments of the story.

AbstractAn experiment is described in which 74 French subjects were asked to list colour terms within a limited time period. Results are compared with those from a similar experiment with Russian subjects. The resulting data are used as a measure of psychological salience to establish which French colour terms are basic. Particular attention is paid to the two possible French terms for brown (marron and brun), and to beige ‘beige’, which may be emerging as an additional basic term. As Russian also has an additional term for blue, both languages are particularly interesting in the light of Berl

Abstract:

The Japanese language has a colour term, ‘ao’, which is usually referred to in bilingual dictionaries as being the equivalent of English ‘blue’. Very often, however, it is used to describe things which English speakers would describe as being green. Granny Smith apples are ‘ao’, so are all Westerners ‘ eyes, regardless of whether they would be described as being ‘blue’ or ‘green’ in English. The sky and the sea are prototypically ‘ao’, but this term is also used to describe lawns, forests, traffic lights and unripe tomatoes. What, then, do Japanese native speakers (JNS) understand by this term

Abstract:

Colour and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentrations and mass balances were measured for seven unproductive lakes and 20 tributary streams between June 1980 and May 1992. Individual observations of colour, which measures an unknown DOC fraction assumed to be principally humic, were not good predictors of discrete DOC concentrations for any of the study sites. Long-term mean colour was, however, strongly correlated with long-term mean DOC concentrations in streams and lakes. Colour behaved differently from the total DOC pool in lakes. Lake retention and loss coefficients for colour were alw
