본 연구는 미생물색소로 염색한 소재의 색채감성을 평가하여 색채감성에 영향을 미치는 색채감각과 물리적 색채특성을 규명하고자 한 것이다. 미생물 Zooshikella rubidus 가 생산하는 색소를 추출하여 면, 견, 모, 나일론 직물에 염색한 소재에 대하여 20 대 대학생 남녀 40 명을 대상으로 의미미분법에 의하여 색채감성을 평가시켰다. 색채감성용어에 대한 요인분석결과, 명랑성, 품위성, 매력성, 편안성등 4 개 요인이 도출되었다. 명랑성 요인은 L*, a*, C*, 맑다, 가볍다, 부드럽다, 밝다와 정적 상관을, b*, 강하다, 깊다, 딱딱하다와 부적상관을 보였으며, 품위성 요인은 b*, 따뜻하다와 정적 상관을, a*, C*, 가볍다, 강하다와 부적 상관을 보였다. 또한 매력성 요인은 a*, C*, 맑다, 밝다와 정적 상관을 보였으며, 편안성은 b*, h, 따뜻하다와 정적 상관을, a*, C*, 강하다와 부적 상관을 보였다. 한편, 미생물색소로 염색한 소재에 대한 색채감성 평가는 성에 따른 유의한 차이가 없었으나, 선호도는 성에 따른 유의한 차이가 있었다.

본 연구는 색채환경이 정상인의 심전도에 미치는 영향을 정량적으로 분석하여 색채 환경이 인체에 미치는 영향을 규명하고자 하였다. 피험자는 색맹을 가지고 있지 않고 인지기능에 장애가 없는 정상 성인 남, 여 50명을 대상으로 하였다. 색채환경의 제시는 암실에서 백색 광원에 채색 필터를 사용하여 제시하였다. 피검자는 6가지 색채 환경 안에서 심전도를 측정하였으며, HRV 분석을 하였다. HF/LF의 비를 비교 분석하여 본 결과, 남자는 녹색에서 색채 자극전보다 자극후가 HF/LF의 비가 0.508(p<0.07) 상승한 것을 볼 수 있었으며, 여자는 파랑색에서 색채자극전보다 자극후 HF/LF의 비가 0.677상승한 것을 볼 수 있었다. 이는 남자는 녹색에서 여자는 파랑색에서 더욱 편안함과 안락감을 느끼게 된다는 것을 의미한다. 따라서 본연구의 결과는 색채 환경이 인체에 미치는 영향을 규명함으로써 좀 더 편안한 색채 환경의 설계에 도움을 줄 것으로 기대된다.

Color is one of the most effective factor in visual aspect influencing consumer's choice. However, the color preference varies as time passes, society changes, new culture develops, that is variable in its nature. And the underlying meaning or accompanying color image differs in every area. We believe the study on the color preference is meaningful, especially on BRICs market, recently gathering attentions for their market competitiveness and growth potential. For this research, data collected from 5 countries(including Korea) by 1:1 interview during 3 weeks in Aug. 2005. Usable data from 923 adult urban residents were used for final data analysis. Color chart for research was categorized by using COS Color System into KS standard color 10grades plus 1 neutral, with 5 grades of tones. Through this empirical study, the data were analyzed by mean, ANOVA, Duncan-test of SPSS Win(ver.10.0). The result generated from this study are as follows : First, analysis through hue & tone system reveals that preference on principle colors (R, Y, G, B, P) is higher than intermediate colors and pale, light, vivid tones were preferred to dare and deep tones. Second, personal color preference is reflected in color preference in fashion items. Thus, we may conclude color preference in fashion item largely influenced by country characteristics. Third, biggest difference by country from hue analysis are neutral and PB colors. Neutral, widely preferred color in every county, more preferred in India, Russia, Brazil than China. We expect this result can be utilized as a basic material for developing BRICs market.

This study was performed in order to suggest useful data for color planning of eco-friendly and sensible fashion products. Silk fabrics were dyed in combination with natural indigo and Japanese pagoda tree and were treated with four kinds of mordants after combination dyeing. Then, their colorimetric properties were evaluated. From these composite-dyed silk fabrics, color sensibilities and color preferences of green yellow (GY) color were evaluated among the female university students, and thus, the influences of colorimetric properties and color sensibilities on color preferences were analyzed. When the silk fabrics were dyed in the combination of natural indigo and Japanese pagoda tree and were treated without mordants, they turned green color when indigo 10 g/L was used, and blue-green when indigo 20 g/L was added. And when they were dyed in combination of natural indigo and Japanese pagoda tree and were treated with four kind of mordants after combination dyeing, they turned GY color in almost all cases. The color sensibilities of the GY silk fabrics with the combination dyeing of indigo and Japanese pagoda tree, were classified into three factors: pleasantness, gracefulness, and comfort. Color sensibility factors showed significant differences according to the concentration of indigo and the kinds of mordants. There were almost significant relationships between colorimetric properties and color sensibilities factors of compositely dyed GY silk fabrics. The color preferences of the GY fabrics, which were dyed in the combination of using natural indigo and Japanese pagoda tree and four kinds of mordants, were found to be predicted by the color sensibility in a regression model.
