Abstract
Graphical user interface design, ICONS are widely used. Icon background color and icon form have a certain influence on icon identification and usability. At present, the research on icon style and color is mainly in the theoretical level, but lack of practical experimental research to investigate how they affect users. According to the search time of users, through statistical analysis, the experimental results showed that, for ICONS without schemata association, the linear icon in monochromatic background had the shortest reaction time, followed by monochromatic background icon, polychromatic background linear icon, and polychromatic background polychromatic icon. The results of this study can provide references for future mobile phone icon design and help to achieve a better search environment in line with human vision.
