Psychologie barev a její aplikace v softwaru je součástí širšího výzkumu, zabývající se ergonomií software. Software se v dnešní době stává rychlejší, chytřejší a komplexnější. Na druhou stranu roste množství aplikací, které lidé musí zvládnout. Uživatelské rozhraní a obecně veškerá komunikace člověka a stroje proto potřebuje neustále zjednodušovat. Jedním ze způsobů je těžit z vědomostí a zvyklostí, které již uživatelé mají. Software je třeba lidem přiblížit, třeba i cestou asociací konkrétních případů užití v aplikaci s barvami, které lidé znají a pro případy užití jim jsou z nějakého důvodu blízké. V článku se autoři snaží tyto asociace najít, popsat a definovat kroky pro další výzkum.

Color Mapping on Common Use-Cases in a Web Application

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.
