A number of the color swatches below are taken from domain-specific naming schemes such as X11 or HTML4. RGB values are given for each swatch because such standards are defined in terms of the sRGB color space. It is not possible to accurately convert many of these swatches to CMYK values because of the differing gamuts of the two spaces, but the color management systems built into operating systems and image editing software attempt such conversions as accurately as possible. The HSV (hue, saturation, value) color space values, also known as HSB (hue, saturation, brightness), and the hex triplets (for HTML web colors) are also given in the following table.

About | Color Cop. Color. First published Mon Dec 1, 1997; substantive revision Thu Oct 11, 2012 Colors are of philosophical interest for a number of reasons. One of the most important reasons is that color raises serious metaphysical issues, concerning the nature both of physical reality and of the mind. Among these issues are questions concerning whether color is part of a mind-independent reality, and what account we can give of experiences of color. These issues have been, and continue to be, inextricably linked with important epistemological and semantic issues. 1. In this section, we consider some central puzzles that arise from trying to fit colors into scientific accounts of the world. 1.1 A Problem with Color The visual world, the world as we see it, is a world populated by colored objects.

One of the major problems with color has to do with fitting what we seem to know about colors into what science, particularly physics, tells us about physical bodies and their qualities. 1.3 The Problem of Color Realism.

People are physically, psychologically, and socially influenced by color. Color has been found to have connections to health and it can help set the mood through which your designs are seen. Color communicates meaning and so we need to be conscious of what meaning we’re conveying when we choose to use one color over another. It’s not enough for a designer to use a color simply because he or she likes that color. Color is a tool in the designer’s toolbox much the same as a grid or whitespace and it’s important to understand how to use that tool. Last week we talked about the color theory and how we could represent color and choose different color schemes. This week we’ll take a look at the meaning colors communicate, how we can better control our designs through our color choices and finally how to go about choosing a color scheme that reinforces the message your design aims to communicate.

I've always wanted to re-do some of the scientific studies of the past, like the World Color Survey. While I don't have plane tickets or time to travel the world, I do have access to CrowdFlower's 4 million contributors to re-test hypotheses about the universality of color-naming. Four years ago, we showed English language speakers random colors and asked for the color names. Four years later, with CrowdFlower contributors now in every country of the world, the experiment becomes much richer. The question is not only "Where does blue end, and red begin? ", but do people from different countries have different concepts of color boundaries?

The color-wheel above (thanks D3 and Dawn) contains 4,000 colors (we collected many more, but didn't want to crash everyone's browsers). On the whole, it looks like countries have extremely similar conceptions of color. What do you see in the data? And stay tuned for more blog posts on when big crowd meets old science.
