An interactive color harmony design system based on color vision law

Following color vision law is a good method for color harmony design. But there are two questions in dire need of resolve. First, the color models such as L*a*b*, RGB and HSV in actual CAD system are not uniform in vision; second there are short of harmony control techniques. In this article, a visual perceptual color model, i.e. HVC model is established based on artificial neural network (ANN). The ANN training data come from the Munsell system and Chinese color system. And the comparison between the HVC model and the L*a*b* model in Photoshop software is presented. Then, a set of harmony control algorithms are discussed in detail. Lastly, an interactive color harmony design system (ICHDS) is developed based on the HVC model and the harmony algorithms. Application testified that ICHDS provides effective color harmony design tools
