This study identified color emotion factors of naturally dyed two-color combination fabrics focused on yellowish and reddish shades to examine the relationship between color emotion factors and physical colorimetric variables (as well as tone combination groups) to provide prediction models for color emotion factors of naturally dyed fabrics with a two-color combination. Each of eight different stimuli were prepared by paring two pieces of silk fabrics colored in red and yellow by natural dyeing respectively; in addition, their color emotion descriptors were evaluated by human subjects using semantic deferential scales. 'Joyful', 'Natural', 'Classical', and 'Soft' were extracted as color emotion factors for the naturally dyed yellowish-reddish combination fabrics. They were found to be significantly affected by physical colorimetric variables such as CIE $C^*$ and $L^*$ and tone combination groups. Finally, prediction models for all color emotion factors were established using physical colorimetric variables and tone combination groups that led to the conclusion that they could be applicable to design a color combination for naturally dyed fashion fabrics.

This study was performed to compare the color emotion and preference of Koreans and Chinese for a two-color combination by dyeing cotton fabric with persimmon and indigo and to establish prediction models of color preference. Nine specimens prepared by combining two different colored fabrics (persimmon and indigo) were evaluated for color emotion and preference by Korean and Chinese groups of female college students. Koreans described most specimens as natural and traditional, whereas the Chinese described them as more pleasant and elegant as well as warmer and lighter than Koreans did. The contrast tone was the most preferred combination by both groups, whereas it was perceived as more modern and less warm by Koreans. Relationships between physical color variables and color emotions were quantified; these relationships were applied to establish a prediction model of color preference with tone combination types for each group. These results could help in making the design of fashion textiles more preference- and emotion-oriented for Korean and Chinese consumers.
