Color Study
What is a Color Study?
A Color Studyis ananalysis of the proposed
color combinations for anHMI to determine the
usability of those colors.
The most important thingto remember is that:

How Our Eyes SeeColor
The subject of color
perception is verycomplex and is far outsidethe scope this web site.
Very briefly, the humaneye has two types of light
sensitive cells: rods andcones. The rods are most
useful during low lightcondition: they are
optimized for luminosity

(created by: Rick Hurdle)rather than colorperception, and are better
at detecting motion. Thecones, however, areoptimized for normal
daylight. There are 3types of cones: each
sensitive to a different
wavelength of light(short, medium, andlong). Sometimes these
are referred to as blue,green and red receptors,but that is misleading
because each cone is:
Responsive overmost of the visible
spectrum.

Mostsensitive in the
indigo, green, oryellow-orange
wavelengths.
2.
In some people, one ormore of these cone types
has a reducedsensitivity to light (or
may be missingaltogether), which causes

these people to perceivecolors differently than
people with normal cones.Roughly 8% of men and0.4% of women have
some sort of colordeficiency.
Types of ColorDeficiency
The most common types
of color deficiency are:
Deuteranopia - 1%
of males - no greencones
Deuteranamoly -
5% of males -reduced green cone
sensitivity
Protanopia - 1% ofmales - no red
(yellow-orange)cones
Protanamoly - 1%
of males - reducedred cone sensitivity
Tritanopia - very
rare - no blue(indigo) cones
Color Usage in an HMI
It is very common to see
colors used in an HMI toconvey information: A
motor might appear:
Green: running
Red: stopped
A valve might appear:
Green: open
Red: closed

A light panel mightappear:
Green: normal
Yellow: alarm
Red: shutdown
Or text might change
color based on any ofthese conditions.
The following screenshotsshow some typical HMI
conventions and how theymight appear to people
with different colordeficiencies. Pay
particular attention to
how colors are used toindicate the following:
Run status of motors
and equipment.
Valve position.
Type of productcarried in a pipeline
Alarm or shutdown
status.
Note that certaincombinations may work
with some types of colordeficiency but not withothers.

Screenshots from aColor-Optimized HMI
Application
This section shows 10
screenshots from anapplication that has been
optimized for people with
Deuteranopia,Deuteranamoly,
Protanopia, andProtanamoly. (It has not
been optimized forTritanopia, which is very
rare.) Each of the 10screenshots also shows
what that screen mightlook like to people with
different colordeficiencies. We haveadopted the following
conventions to make surethe meaning is never
dependent on color alone.
Conventions:
Equipment
On - green
Off - grey
Shutdown Valves
Open - green
Closed -blinking
red/white androtated 90
Conditions
