25 February 2014Creating experimental color harmony map
Starting in the 17th century with Newton, color harmony is a topic that did not reach a consensus on definition,
representation or modeling so far. Previous work highlighted specific characteristics for color harmony on com-
bination of color doublets or triplets by means of a human rating on a harmony scale. However, there were no
investigation involving complex stimuli or pointing out how harmony is spatially located within a picture. The
modeling of such concept as well as a reliable ground-truth would be of high value for the community, since the
applications are wide and concern several communities: from psychology to computer graphics. We propose a
protocol for creating color harmony maps from a controlled experiment. Through an eye-tracking protocol, we
focus on the identification of disharmonious colors in pictures. The experiment was composed of a free viewing
pass in order to let the observer be familiar with the content before a second pass where we asked ”to search
for the most disharmonious areas in the picture”. Twenty-seven observers participated to the experiments that
was composed of a total of 30 different stimuli. The high inter-observer agreement as well as a cross-validation
confirm the validity of the proposed ground-truth.
