AB - The mechanism of human colour perception is very complex and difficult to analyse, especially the 
neural mechanisms which are not well understood. In order to analyse the mechanism, it is 
essential to derive some quantitative visual scales. Therefore, an attempt has been made to analyse 
the colorimetric characteristics of the scales in CIELAB colour space and then obtain a colour 
description map using perceptual axes. In addition, the relationship between the many colour 
word pairs has been determined using descriptive scales and statistical analysis.With the results, 
we derived empirical colour emotion equations to express our impression induced from colour. 
The instrumental colorimetric assessment of colour emotions can be made through the colour 
emotion equations that were derived. With sensory database and colour emotion equations, we 
envisaged the development of some useful tools for Information Technology. Colour emotion 
scales obtained can be transformed to CIELCh, CIELAB, XYZ, and RGB values, which can be output 
as colours by display devices. This colour output can be used by applications such as product 
design and development.
