Abstract
This study is conducted upon the color images, among the characteristics of external physical environment rather than internal perception, based on the theory of Ecological Perception, presented by James J. Gibson. The purpose of this study lies in suggesting color image palette and direction of plan for reinforcement of aesthetic affordance by selecting an area in conformity with the characteristics of expected behavior response, through the evaluation of subject exhibition area and image with distinctive properties of color image, in the parallel array of visual-perceptional scenes through the movement in the Children's Museum. This study is made in two different stages, composed of 1st status analysis and 2nd image evaluation. The results shall be set forth as follows. Firstly, an analysis was made for reinforcement of aesthetic affordance, among many types of affordance, provided by ecological surroundings, through theoretical considerations on the ecological perception and afforance. Then, color image palette and direction of color plan, which could enhance the color combination, were suggested. Secondly, color difference analysis of visual-perceptional scenes and frequency analysis of color tone, in line with the global exhibition circulation, for selection of area with distinctive properties of current color images, were carried out to analyze the trends of color images by countries and museums, and subsequently patternize the color harmony and coloration palette. Thirdly, adjectives of expected images in relevant areas were derived from the evaluation of perceptive adjectives, with subsequent extraction of color harmony and coloration palette. Fourthly, direction of color image plan is added to enhance the sensory conformance, in terms of perceptual consonance, which could directly benefit the audience. This study is meaningful in that the direction of color image plan, which could possibly reinforce the aesthetic affordance by subject exhibition area in the children's museum, is suggested.
