Applying color theory to visualization
Article No.: 10, Pages 1 - 160
Abstract
We examine the foundations of color theory & how these methods apply to building effective digital media. We define color harmony & demonstrate the application of color harmony to case studies. Case studies include historic & new infographics as well as time series animations. The Pantone Matching System, Munsell Color System and other hue systems are reviewed. The features of ColorBrewer, Adobe's Capture CC app, & Josef Albers "Interaction of Color" app are examined. We also introduce "Gamut Mask" & "Color Proportions of an Image" analysis tools. Our course concludes with a hands on session that teaches how to use online and mobile apps to successfully capture, analyze and store color schemes for future use in visual analytics. This includes evaluations for color deficiencies using Vizcheck & Coblis. These color suggestion tools are available online for your continued use in creating new digital media. Please bring small JPEG examples of your digital media content for performing color analyses during the hands on session.
We hope you enjoy exploring color during this course at SIGGRAPH 2017, Theresa-Marie Rhyne.
