Abstract

This study investigated commercial technology products with respect to the impact of color on user perception towards product preferences. The study investigated semantic differences of headsets of black or white color with 16 kinds of psychological tests to obtain the best color matching for statistical analysis, and in order to design for cultural and creative design perspective and provide proper design alternatives. The headset design studies includes five kinds of packaging styles, with five the best color combinations to a total of 25 packaging designs, and applied Likert scale statistical data and analysis.
