Hongji Yang; Proceedings of the IEEE/CVF Winter Conference on Applications of Computer Vision (WACV) Workshops, 2024, pp. 700-707

Colour Creation Muse delves into the extraordinary power of prime colours: red, blue, and yellow, and their role in sparking human creativity via imagination. This innovative computational tool harnesses the innate associations and sentiments evoked by these foundational hues to inspire diverse artistic and cognitive outputs. Drawing from the intersections of art, design, psychology, and computing, this research elucidates the historical significance, emotional resonance, and psychological impacts of the prime colours. The Colour Creation Muse (CCM) system adeptly taps into this rich tapestry of meanings, offering users a palette to ignite their creativity. Through CCM, applications in art, design, education, and psychology are enhanced, offering a fresh perspective on colour-driven imagination. Incorporating intuitive selection tools such as hue variation sliders and real-time feedback, the CCM engages users in a dialogue with colour that is both emotionally resonant and psychologically insightful. This paper unveils the multifunctional capacity of the CCM through dynamic case studies, showcasing its ability to craft not only visually compelling designs but also to imbue them with a narrative depth that resonates across various industries. The efficacy of CCM in generating culturally coherent and context-rich outputs is demonstrated, highlighting its role in branding, advertising, and product design. This research concludes by recognising the CCM's groundbreaking contribution to the creative fields, where it stands not just as a tool for colour selection but as a comprehensive decision-making instrument poised to revolutionise consumer engagement and perception.
