Abstract The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has developed a standard set of colors for coding information on air traffic control (ATC) displays. A significant complication was that the air traffic controller population includes people who have color-vision deficiencies (CVDs). We wrote a software tool to assist the FAA in selecting a preliminary color set. It accepts a set of luminances and chromaticity coordinates as input and: (1) Draws graphics and calculates color-related figures of merit to predict whether the set will be acceptable for color-normal and CVD users; (2) Flags colors and pairings that violate human factors criteria; and (3) Allows designers to adjust the colors and see the resulting changes immediately. The tool has been used to perform a pilot study for the FAA’s color-set development project and should be useful for designing other color-coding sets, also.

调色板设计器：颜色代码设计工具

摘要 美国联邦航空管理局 (FAA) 开发了一套标准颜色，用于对空中交通管制 (ATC) 显示器上的信息进行编码。一个重要的并发症是空中交通管制员包括有色觉缺陷 (CVD) 的人。我们编写了一个软件工具来协助 FAA 选择初步颜色集。它接受一组亮度和色度坐标作为输入，并且： (1) 绘制图形并计算与颜色相关的品质因数，以预测该组是否为正常颜色和 CVD 用户所接受；(2) 标记违反人为因素标准的颜色和搭配；(3) 允许设计人员调整颜色并立即看到产生的变化。
