Chromatic prototypes for information systems
Pages 75 - 79
Abstract
Using color to thematically code sections within information systems has become a standard design principle. Although color is a good method for coding specific sections, a handful of prototypes appear especially useful for this task. This paper presents research on color, categories, and the neuropsychology of color. These data suggest that chromatic prototypes may be useful for thematically organizing information in information systems.

ColorfulCurves: Palette-Aware Lightness Control and Color Editing via Sparse Optimization
Color editing in images often consists of two main tasks: changing hue and saturation, and editing lightness or tone curves. State-of-the-art palette-based recoloring approaches entangle these two tasks. A user's only lightness control is changing the ...
