Given the problem that ceramic color varies and the user\u2019s visual sensory evaluation of color is highly subjective and uncertain, a method of quantifying ceramic color characteristics based on the Back Propagation (BP) neural network algorithm is proposed. The semantic difference method and statistical method were used to obtain quantified data from ceramic color perceptual semantic features and were combined with a neural network to study the association between ceramic color features and user perceptual-cognitive evaluation. A BP neural network was used to build a ceramic color perceptual semantic mapping model, using color semantic quantified values as the input layer, color L, A, and B component values as the output layer, and model training to predict the sample. The output color L, A, and B components are used as the input layer and the color scheme was designed. The above method can effectively solve the mapping problem between the appearance characteristics of ceramic color and perceptual semantics and provide a decision basis for ceramic product color design. The case application of color design of daily-use ceramic products was conducted to verify the effectiveness and feasibility of the quantitative research method of ceramic color imagery.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s22145415","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,21]],"date-time":"2022-07-21T03:34:40Z","timestamp":1658374480000},"page":"5415","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Color Design Decisions for Ceramic Products Based on Quantification of Perceptual Characteristics"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Yi","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Design and Art, Shaanxi University of Science and Technology, Xi\u2019an 710021, China"}]},{"given":"Qinxin","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Design and Art, Shaanxi University of Science and Technology, Xi\u2019an 710021, China"}]},{"given":"Jian","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Design and Art, Shaanxi University of Science and Technology, Xi\u2019an 710021, China"}]},{"given":"Weiwei","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Design and Art, Shaanxi University of Science and Technology, Xi\u2019an 710021, China"}]},{"given":"Suihuai","family":"Yu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Design and Art, Shaanxi University of Science and Technology, Xi\u2019an 710021, China"},{"name":"School of Mechanical Engineering, Northwestern Polytechnical University, Xi\u2019an 710051, China"}]},{"given":"Xiaoyan","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Design and Art, Shaanxi University of Science and Technology, Xi\u2019an 710021, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"70","article-title":"A study of quantitative color trends based on perceptual engineering","volume":"36","author":"Lin","year":"2015","journal-title":"Packag.
