Color Mapping on Common Use-Cases in a Web Application

Abstract

Psychology of Colors and its application in software is a part of a wider research related to Software Ergonomics. Nowadays, software tends to be faster, clever and even more complex. On the other side, the amount of applications, which people has to manage increases. However, user interface and all the communication between a man and a machine needs simplifying. One way how to do that is to dig into the knowledge and conventions, which users already have. Software needs to be brought near to the users maybe using the associations of the particular use-cases in the application with colors, which users already know and which are common to them. The research tries to find these associations, describe them and define the steps for the future research.
