| Abstract |
With the advent of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, people need healing. Research in neuroarchitecture shows that people feel happy and
stable when working with nature, and patients heal quickly. Therefore, This study aims to quantitatively analyze the colors that help
psychological healing in the painting images depicting nature by setting 'Natural Colors' of Biophilic Design as the subject of research. So
the purpose of this study was to measure Biophilic Color and to develop Biophilic Color Palette. We extracted Biophilic colors using
Impressionist Monet's Landscape painting. After extracting colors using Photoshop Color Picker, we converted RGB color code to NCS color
code and Munsell color code. The results of this study were as follows; The ratio of Y was high in the GY-series and YR-series. This is
due to the characteristic of impressionism that expresses the change of color by light in close relationship with light. Y is universally
considered to be pleasant, representing happiness, sunshine and optimism. Therefore, it is possible to create an environment that helps
psychological healing by utilizing the Y-series color palette. Average Blackness was 28. Average Chromaticness was 34.61. The significance
of this study is to propose a biophilic color palette that is useful for psychological healing by quantifying the color code of biophilic colors
depicted and expressed with adjective images and idiomatic color names. Quantitative and empirical studies on healing colors are needed
continuously and should be actively utilized in healing environment planning. |
