Color, as one of the most important dimensions of vision, plays a key role in place identity and people's experience in the environment. This study aims to investigate people's visual experience of seasonal color change in the environment, and proposes an approach for analyzing and communicating environmental colors by combining color analysis and information visualization. Employing crowdsourced Flickr photos, the approach is tested in four gardens: the Humble Administrator's Garden, Ryoanji, the Garden of Versailles, and Central Park in New York. The results show direct comparisons of seasonal color change patterns in different environments, and reflect characteristics of the environments as well as people's experience of color during the four seasons. The primary contribution of this study is to provide a way of communicating colors in landscape design and color research.

通过颜色分析和信息可视化研究环境中的季节性颜色变化

颜色是视觉最重要的方面之一，在场所标识和人们在环境中的体验方面起着关键作用。这项研究旨在调查人们在环境中季节性颜色变化的视觉体验，并提出了一种通过结合颜色分析和信息可视化来分析和传达环境颜色的方法。使用众包的Flickr照片，该方法在四个花园中进行了测试：拙政园，龙安寺，凡尔赛花园和纽约中央公园。结果显示了直接比较不同环境中的季节性颜色变化模式，并反映了环境的特征以及人们在四个季节中的颜色体验。
