碩士 === 中原大學 === 室內設計研究所 === 98 === Color harmony has always been one of the most important elements in Interior design. There are lots of colors we could capture in our daily life; and these colors can be in different forms of presentation depending on different mood-swing or atmosphere. Color harmony can be subjective as it relies on each designer’s aesthetic preferences. However, consumer’s color preference should be included into the design in order to get a closer match between consumer’s preference and the designer’s professional views. The survey has been designed with four stages: 1. Preliminary investigation on the preference of color harmony. 2. Survey on different spatial sample. 3. The official color harmony preference survey. 4. Compared with the formation of the principles of color harmony and color preference. Through statistical analysis on the 140 contestant who partok the color examination on the 63 indoor color pictures which are used to detect contestant’s color preference within different ambience settings, the test result yielded 14 factors. Upon studies done on these factors, the result indicates that the similarity of color harmony of factor 3 is very close to those of warm colors. Which the hue wheel must be less than 72°. Furthermore, the result also shows that the combination of contrasting colors attracts most of the attentions. The result has proven the hypothesis of the color preference and color hue angle of wheel’s correlations are important. Follow-up from the study, it will continue to explore and discuss the relationship between hue angles of wheels and color harmony by increasing the indoor color pictures selections in order to facilitate the most suitable methodology in search for color harmony. The main purpose in the search for the color harmony of interior environment, through choice of color combination, to make people feel the comfort, calm, coordination, that unified feeling, and color saturation. Through the research, we found out that the simpler the colors with more unison approach within 3 related coloring earns higher acceptance. In conclusion, this study has induced a general principle of interior color design, providing a general methodology of matching of colors. We hope through this study, the result can help the general public to realize a harmonized color matching skill, even onto designers who did not come from this professional design background. Through this process, design and matching of colors can be a more fun and enjoyable transformative experience.
