Development of a selection system for the colour of wardrobe furniture

Abstract

To solve the problem of pure perceptual and non-standardized selection of colour in furniture, a rational and reliable colour quantitative system was developed. This approach is beneficial to the upgrading and optimization of products by furniture manufacturing enterprises. The wardrobe colour selection system is based on the Munsell colour system, the colour harmony theory and the Birkhoff aesthetic colour selection system to construct a wardrobe colour selection system. It has three analytical parts, consisting of wardrobe colour selection and data analysis, which can provide a reference for the colour quantification used by furniture enterprises. Once the system was constructed, a company’s wardrobe colour selection and coated sheet sample was used as an example to test its efficacy. The wardrobe colour selection system was evaluated to optimize the design of the company’s original wardrobe product colour selection. The results showed that the wardrobe colour selection system improved consumers’ preference for the company’s wardrobe colour selection. The wardrobe colour selection system provides a reference for furniture companies, engineers and designers in product colour selection and optimization design, which is conducive to scientifically informed manufacture and a standard formulation of furniture colour.
