Terms• Hue
– The differences in color that languages assign names to• Saturation:
– Sometimes called “vividness”, sometimes “brightness”• Lightness:
– A relative measure– How much light appears to reflect from an object compared
to what looks like white in a scene (Brewer)– Also sometimes called “value”
• Other terms– These are used inconsistently– Intensity (often used to mean Saturation + Lightness)– Luminance (physically measured amount of reflected light) – Chromaticity (hue without brightness)

Color Issues• Complexity of color space
– 3-dimensional– Computer vs. Print display– There are many models and standards
• Color not critical for many visual tasks– Doesn’t help with determination of:
• Layout of objects in space• Motion of objects• Shape of objects
– Color-blind people often go for years without knowing about their condition
• Color is essential for– “Breaking camouflage”– Recognizing distinctions
• Picking berries out from leaves• Spoiled meat vs. good
– Aesthetics

Some Color Fun Facts
• People agree strongly on what pure yellow is• There may be two unique greens• Brown is dark yellow, requires a reference
white nearby

Colors for Labeling
• Ware recommends to take into account:– Distinctness– Unique hues– Contrast with background– Color blindness– Number
• Only a small number of codes can be rapidly perceived
– Field Size• Small changes in color are difficult to perceive
– Conventions

Ware’s Recommended Colors for Labeling
Red, Green, Yellow, Blue, Black, White, Pink, Cyan, Gray, Orange, Brown, Purple.The top six colors are chosen because they are the unique colors that mark the ends of the opponent color axes. The entire set corresponds to the eleven color names found to be the most common in a cross-cultural study, plus cyan (Berlin and Kay)

More Color Use Guidelines
• From Cynthia Brewer reading– She’s a cartographer, has a unique perspective– Geocoordinates are already taken
• Four-way Guidelines:– Binary– Qualitative– Diverging– Sequential
• Make combinations of these– Seq-Seq, Seq-Qual, etc.– I’m not convinced these all work
