Chromaticity Analysis on Ethnic Minority Color Landscape Culture in Tibetan Area: A Semantic Differential Approach
Source abstract
Abstract
The color–area ratio in ethnic minority areas is one way to perceive cultural elements visually. The openness of spaces, sense of rhythm, and richness of color affect people’s emotions and induce different psychological perceptions. Despite many ethnic minority areas being more colorful than the main traits of Han, there is no systematic quantitative study for the color elements in ethnic minority areas’ landscapes, not to mention the research on the color–area ratio, main and auxiliary colors and embellishments, and layouts. Therefore, this paper studies the color–area ratio of Xiangcheng County in the Tibetan area of Ganzi Prefecture in Sichuan Province. Colors are extracted and quantitatively analyzed from six different aspects using the semantic differential (SD) method and color quantitative analysis method. In this way, low-scored (B group) and high-scored (A group) color landscape samples were extracted from the landscape image library and quantitatively analyzed by ColorImpact V4.1.2. The results show that the ethnic minority group’s color layout is characterized by richer colors and stronger contrasts than the Han group. This paper contributes to academic scholarship regarding color culture in ethnic minority areas. It also provides theoretical support for preserving ethnic minority groups’ cultural heritage and practical insights into color planning for urban and landscape designs.
