色彩與我們的生活是密不可分的，「時至今日運用在各種領域上，從紡織，到建築以及藝術品」。而人對色彩或是對於色彩組合所產生的感覺便是所謂的色彩意象，其相關研究也在40年以前就已經開始。然而，截至目前為止，對於色彩意象的定量化研究仍存在著不確定性。
在早期相關研究中，對於色彩意象的實驗主要是以早期心理學實驗法來進行色彩意象尺度研究，然在其實驗方法中採用單純的心理等級判定法與色彩方塊樣本，其實驗結果以及尺度值表現均與人們相對的心理認知、實務應用及感覺，有相當大的落差或不相吻合之處。不過近年來，有最新的色彩意象尺度HRU，為研究者Kuo發展與發表，其尺度值的規劃與一般人們的心理認知與感受較有一致性。因此，本研究依新色彩意象HRU進行規劃實物樣本，而後以電腦配色與高溫高壓染色法進行其色彩意象實物化之實驗。同時收集各種且常用的染料以獲得色彩配色較大色域範圍，以進行色彩意象實物化之實驗，由實驗可得知第一次配色與第二次配色中染料的差異而造成色域範圍的不同，色域對於細丹尼纖維織物意象色彩實物化率可達到9.3％。
The color is inextricably linked with our lives, usually used in a variety of areas, such as textile, building and art. And the feeling of human to color or color combination is the color imagery. Various investigations on color imagery have been completed by many researchers since forty years ago. However, so far, there still exists no accurate and quantitative model for predicting color imagery .
In earlier researches, the color imagery was mainly investigated with psychological method on color-imagery scales. However, the experimental methods employed in those researches were all simply psychological category-judgement method, and the sample type used in those experiments was color block. As a result, the experimental results and the metric values of color-imagery scales proposed by those researches were unable to match with people’s psychological background and feeling.
In this study, therefore, the CIE L*a*b* coordinates of experimental specimens were obtained by planning the objected color-imagery scales on a new color imagery space HRU. And then, these CIEL*a*b* coordinates were further tranfered into really color samples of polyester fabric by color matching and specific dyeing methods. Finally, the effect of color gamut of disperse dyes used in this experiment on the objectified ratio of color imagery was further discussed. The results indicate that a good color gamut of dyes employed is obtained. And there exists a significant effect of color gamut on the objectified ratio of color imagery. Finally, the ratio of 9.3％ in matching the imagery colors of the fabrics with fine-Denier polyester is reached based on the wide color gamut derived in this study.
