how different colors of interiors across a room can affect our moods. The digital images of two imaginary rooms settings were used to conduct the experiment. The research by Yildrim, Hidayetoglu, and Capangolu (2011) highlights the change in people’s mood with reference to colors and space. The two pictures only differed in colors, keeping all our characteristics fixed. The colors ranged from warm, cool or achromatic color. The study by Yildrim et al.

DISCUSSION ON ON-GOING CHALLENGES IN THIS AREA As we have discussed many models that are used for overcoming color vision deficiency. This sections gives the main challenges in making a user interface for colorblind users are: 1. Frequency of calibration All the models of color differentiation depends on an in-situ calibration. Moreover, this calibration is short [] and whenever the environment is changes user are not able to perform new calibration. These can be overcome by storing the…
