Abstract
This study seeks to identify usage behaviors and improvement factors to increase the academic and practical application of value the of color image scales. For this purpose, the authors discuss the positive and negative perspectives on the evaluation of previous studies on color image scales. Furthermore, a survey was conducted with 25 color experts who have been working in the field for over five years, and in-depth interviews were conducted with five of them. The contents of the survey are usage behaviors, evaluation, and the improvement of Kobayashi and IRI color image scales. In this process, emotional adjectives that need improvement were derived, and the opinions of experts related to improvements were collected. The analysis results are as follows. 1) As a result of the usage behaviors, 92% were aware of both color image scales. Moreover, 44% used both, and 56% used only one. 2) Regarding familiarity and trust, IRI was higher than Kobayashi. 3) A total of 88% of respondents stated that color image scales were necessary. A total of 43.6% of respondents, the largest group of respondents, indicated that color image scales are necessary in the field of practice. 4) Regarding the need for improvement, 88% responded that IRI color image scales need improvement. 5) The highest response to the factors requiring improvement was the reflection of the times, which was 31.9% for Kobayashi and 30.9% for IRI. 6) When improving color image scales, the adjectives that need to be treated as the most important were shown to be modern (15.8%) → natural, romantic, wild (8.8%) → dynamic (7.0%) → classic, casual, chic (5.3%). In conclusion, limitations were identified in the use of color image scales in practice and in the research areas, and there was a demand for correction and supplementation. The results of this study will serve as a foundational study related to color image scales, and it is expected that subsequent research related to color image scales will follow.
