ccsj: A Pathfinder
This is a computer-generated pathfinder created against the Distant Reader study called ccsj.
Each Distant Reader study carrel is composed of many individual items. Each item is bibliographically described with author, title, date, summary, and keyword values. Below is a list of the items' most signficant keywords as well as lists of the items themselves. Purpusing the content of this pathfinder provides the student, researcher, or scholar with one way to get their heads around the scope of the carrel. The keywords include:
Colour; Culture; Design; Science; Del; Light; Colore; Che; Dei; Blue; Architecture; Red; Lighting; Art; Space; Perception; Film; Image; Fashion; Century; Green; Environment; Samples; Values; Colours; Conservation; System; Test; Yellow; Materials; Work; Visual; Process; Participants; City; Imaging; Product; Cie; Films; Techniques; Book; Scheme; Preferences; Communication; Maria; Authors; Board; Spectrophotometer; Japan
Depending on how this pathfinder was created, many of the bibliographic sections will include elaborations on the meaning(s) of the given keywords. These elaborations were generated by feeding the items' summaries to a large langauge model and asking the model to address the question, "What is X?", where "X" is the keyword. The result will be a few sentences of elaboration. Be forewarned. The elaborations are often plausible, but they should not be take as truth. Instead, they should be taken as points for consideration.

- A Colour Palette Methodology by Mikkelsen, Maria Kirk (2018) - Since a design process is influenced and controlled by various methods, this project suggests using a defined methodology in the work with colour palettes in order to give more variety to the design of colour schemes. THE COLOUR COMBINATION CARDS The Colour Combination Cards (Mikkelsen 2018) is a colour palette methodology developed for design students. Keywords: cards; colour; design; phase; scheme
- From decoration to industrial design: Gio Ponti and color in architectural innovation by Rossi, Michela; Buratti, Giorgio (2018) - About ten years later, the ceramic floors of Salzburger Nachrichten’s offices were a hymn to colour, thanks to the abstract geometric composition that fit to the irregular shape of the rooms’ floors, combining tiles with different colours and patterns.

- Colours for SLAncio. Project of the scene for a service and care facility in Monza by Bottoli, Aldo; Bertagna, Giulio (2018) - Il fenomeno colore possiede una essenza immateriale, ed é nella sua apparenza, mutevole, instabile, soggetto alle condizioni del contesto, alla luce che lo genera e, inoltre, ai significati che, una volta applicato, assume in ogni percettore. E’ infatti comune progettare superfici e oggetti, e utilizzare tecnologie sofisticate, ma lo è meno dedicare attenzione alle necessità di chi, in seguito, vi dovrà abitare.

- Motion Picture Colour Science and film ‘Look’: the maths behind ACES 1.0 and colour grading by Arrighetti, Walter (2015) - A gamut mapping between colour spaces ([5]– [7]) is a vector field L(c), where c∈G is the input colour in the source gamut G⊆IRm (which is, to every practical aspects, a connected, linearly- and superficially-connected m-dimensional domain—often even a convex one), with dim L(G ) The latter aspect may have been advantageous in the past, but is now mostly a downside, when cinematographers, colourists and VFX artists really need to transfer colour corrections from the on-set pre-grading sessions throughout the whole post-production pipeline, up to the theatre room, and capable of doing so in the most advantageous and, above all, interoperable way (cfr.

- The Portland Colour Chart by Evans, Stig (2014) - Based on the colour Library this time I was interested to see if the public, when asked, would use colour names more specific to a place or area, rather than general ‘paint industry’ colour terminology that was apparent in the original colour library. We now have a very sophisticated and elaborate colour language and terminology at our disposal. Keywords: colour; figure; names; paint; portland
- Pigment variation by colorimetric analysis in raw, grilled and boiled eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) fruits by Fibiani, Marta; Rotino, Giuseppe L.; Toppino, Laura; Mennella, Giuseppe; Lo Scalzo, Roberto (2015) - Eggplant anthocyanins have simple profiles generally characterized by a single delphinidin-glycoside [5] [6]. Unlike other phenolic compounds such as caffeic acid derivatives, eggplant anthocyanins were strongly depleted after cooking, being boiling (a mild heating process) more preservative than grilling.

- Communications and Comments by Lecca, Michela; da Pos, Osvaldo (2018) - The answer I gave is already somehow present in the previous edition of this column, namely that the research in question clarifies the fundamental relationships between physical stimuli, colour perception and verbal language of colour, relationships that are often only implicitly assumed in colour studies or even misunderstood (Figure 1). The talk of Prof. Da Pos was not directly related to technical features of the Munsell system, but it coped with the more general problem of the meaning and the relationships among colour perception, stimuli, and colour terminology, that we partially investigated in our previous column.

- Emerging colours: new trends, demands and challenges in contemporary urban environments by Yu, Beichen ; Bell, Simon (2020) - Since the 1960s, studies on environmental colour design have explored the relationship between architectural colours and elements including space, form, structure, light and function (e.g., McLachlan et al. 2015, Nemcsics 1993), principles for urban colour planning (e.g., Brino 2009; Spillmann 2009) and environmental colour design in a contemporary context (e.g., Lenclos 2009, Porter and Mikellides 2009). Through the comparison between examples of the new phenomenon and traditional environmental colour use, notable differences and tendencies of colour design in contemporary urban environments can be identified.

- The Changes of Transparent Colours in Being Laid upon Others’: Considerations for a New Perception of Glazes with Historical Pigments and Dyes by Herrero-Cortell, Miquel; Artoni, Paola; Picollo, Marcello; Raïch, Marta; Zalbidea, Maria Antonia (2021) - Red lake pigments were usually made with madder but dye lakes, Kerria lacca or Indian lake (lac dye) and, to a lesser extent, kermes, known as the European cochineal, were also used (Herrero-Cortell, 2019). Most of the pigments available on the palette from the 15th to the 18th century were translucent to a certain extent, especially when applied thinly, and more translucent still are dyes, which become lake pigments when they are precipitated on an inorganic substrate such as rock alum, calcium carbonate or sodium carbonate.

- Scientific basics in art from the Theories of Colour: Authors, methods, rules, applications by Marotta, Anna (2022) - The possibility of experimentation for the research of complementary colours is more optimistic with the application of the rotating discs, or Maxwell's discs, based on the mixture obtained from the rotation of different colours. Previati concludes the argument thus: as long as more detailed investigations into the priority of the practice of the breakdown of colours in painting will come from art historians, we must therefore reserve to Mile the possession of the hitherto unknown property of an unknown colouring substance, that is being able to reproduce the additions of light through a methodically minuscule separation of complementary colours, which today takes the name of divisionism in art.

- “Perpetual plum”: Colour naming strategies in Maybelline’s lip products by Espinosa-Zaragoza, Isabel (2025) - Thus, cosmetic colour names in general, but specially in lipsticks, do much more than simply describe or designate hues: these “constructed nameables” instil lip products with a distinctive touch that helps relating them to their brand and also serve as an organising tool where all the colours in a collection are named in a coherent and homogeneous way in hopes of capturing customer attention. On the subject of the use of romance as a theme in cosmetic colour names (see Espinosa-Zaragoza, 2002), there is a patent ambivalence with the customer both seducing and being seduced.

- Contemporary architecture and colour: final definitions for mapping intent by Borsotti, Marco (2019) - Introduction This text illustrates the third and final contribution – the first and second appeared in Colour and colorimetry VIII (Borsotti in Rossi, Siniscalco, 2012) and Colour and colorimetry X volumes (Borsotti, in Rossi, Marchiafava, 2014) – on the reflection that, moving between identification of contemporary paradigmatic case studies and hypotheses of classification of their outcomes within defined areas referring to common attitudes, look at the use of colour as a true design tool; a real “material” for the realisation of an architectural program. Here, there is an intentionality to delve deeper into the idea of spatiality, designed as a layering of layers, which, as on a computer screen, are distinguished and managed through the attribution of different colours.

- The “Color Fever” Chroma Survey 1973 by Trini Castelli, Clino (2024) - Initiated with the Centro Design Montefibre, the Operazione Colordinamo operation gave rise to seminars, exhibitions and the well-known manuals for professional use, which were the first tool of orientation in the field of color design in Italy, published from 1975 to 1977. He consolidated this position in 1977 with the founding of the design magazine Modo, through the idea of looking more closely at the “making”, the direct experience of reality, a property that upon closer examination was already intrinsic precisely to the themes of color design [Trini Castelli, 2021].

- Colour as a mass product. Designing of the collection of interior paint colours for the Polish market by Kwiatkowska - Lubanska, Agata (2017) - Designing colour collections for two large Polish companies over several years has allowed me to make certain interesting observations concerning the specific colour preferences of the Polish customer, based on both sales results and the colour trends established by the Polish market, which are often different from the trends of Western Europe. As it has been shown by the research carried out by the Institute of Industrial Design in Warsaw in 2011, the basic reasons for choosing interior colours are as follows: individual colour preferences of consumers (48%), price (18%), colours of other furnishings (15%), family and friends’ advice (8%), designs derived from the interior and architectural magazines (5%), sale special offers (4%), others (2%).

- Primary colors as a source of possible misconceptions: an insight into teaching and learning about color by Martini, Berta; Tombolato, Monica; D’Ugo, Rossella (2019) - Primary colors as a source of possible misconceptions: an insight into teaching and learning about color 28 Color Culture and Science Journal Vol. 11 (2) DOI: 10.23738/CCSJ.110203 In Newton’s definition of primary colors is outlined the distinction between monochromatic spectral colors (simple), characterized by a particular wavelength (between 380 nm and 780 nm), and colors obtained by mixing lights (compound). As for teachers’ misconceptions, we expected to detect: (1) poor knowledge of the scientific interpretation of the color vision phenomenon (QT1, QT2); (2) knowledge of primary colors only as pigment colors out of which all the others can be made (QT3, QT4); (3) inability to distinguish between “almost pure colors” (characterized by a dominant wavelenght and a narrow band) and colors produced by the addition of lights (QT5, QT6, QT8); (4) confusion between the mixture of pigments and that of colored lights (i.e. between additive and subtractive synthesis).

- Chromatic values in Pablo Picasso’s early work: a comparison of hues in “Science and Charity” (1897) and its three oil sketches by Picollo, Marcello; Cucci, Costanza; Stefani, Lorenzo; Jiménez-Garnica, Reyes; Fuster-López, Laura; Vila, Anna (2019) - Within the ProMeSA project, the study of the materials and techniques used by the artist, in particular the chromatic and colorimetric analysis of Picasso’s (1881-1973) paintings at the MPB, involved several different documentation and analytical methodologies. Hence, the present study proposes a relatively new method in gaining insight into artworks by merging the visual approach employed by professionals, such as painting conservators, who have expertise in the field, with scientific measurements of colorimetric values calculated from the reflectance spectra of the specific investigated spots (Parraman 2010, Striova et al. 2018, Dooley et al. 2014).

- Integrating knowledge about color within the STEM/STEAM approach: some instructional procedural principles by Martini, Berta; Monica Tombolato; Rossella D'Ugo (2022) - Some scholars believe that the addition of “A” is unnecessary, and that the application of creativity and the arts is a natural premise of STEM education. While professional meetings and science education conferences are increasingly geared toward STEM and new textbooks and websites are popping up to advise teachers on how to implement STEM practices, STEM curricula lack an awareness of what STEM is and what STEM programs should include.

They display the code “R37” in the bottom- right corner to identify the film, which is the same for the Italian and the French version (in which an “F” has been added for French); in the bottom-left corner, it is possible to see the number of the intertitle, which helped us to find them in other films too, as was the case for intertitle 26, recently found in the film Dio segnò i confini d’Italia preserved by the Museo Nazionale del Cinema in Turin, which allowed us to add the corresponding sequence.

- An overview for colour rendering indices in Solid State Lighting by Musante, Fulvio; Rossi, Maurizio (2014) - The influence of the spectra of test samples on the calculated color rendering index is a long time open question: due to a small number of samples, lamps manufacturers are able to tailor the light sources spectral distribution to yield high CRI value, even if the visual impression of color rendering is considered poor[12][13]. Rea and Freyssinier-Nova suggest numerical recommendations about the value of GAI index: if the applications (for example retail) require high features for color rendering, the light source should have both Ra of between 80 and 100 and GAI between 80 and 100.[3][4] An important notice is that in GAI, the evaluation of the correlated color temperature of reference light source is fixed and independent from that of the source under test: this solution can involve distortions in the judgment of the light sources with low values of correlated color temperature that can still have excellent color quality including good color discrimination performance, despite the low value of the gamut area.

- The Colors of Public Art in Pescara: 4 Keywords by Caffio, Giovanni; Unali, Maurizio (2021) - Pescara Colors: a final visual synthesis At the end of this visual journey we felt the need to elaborate a conceptual map (Fig. 1 - Fig. 23) that represents a sort of synthesis in color of Public Art in Pescara, obviously referring only to the four key words identified; an empathic perceptive experience in which color is the medium of the project, both for what concerns the conformed space and for what concerns the ephemeral representation, that is the movement, the daily use, the indifferent looking, the careful seeing, the participation: active sensors of living the contemporary urban experience. Over the years, Abruzzo's city has been the setting for a series of interesting works of public art – both ephemeral and long-lasting – in which colors play a fundamental role in establishing paths of urban transformation but also as synesthetic acts and gestures of communication on different scales; artistic and socializing processes capable of releasing new aesthetic and participatory meanings to inhabit the collective and intimate space of urban spaces between art, architecture and design (and more).
