ABSTRACT
Color has long played an essential role in successful visual design, but the web has some distinct constraints and considerations that warrant further study by the web graphics and SIGGRAPH community. The objective of this lecture is to establish what special constraints related to color exist, share design principles and techniques to address those constraints, and critique existing examples of web design on the success or lack thereof of color communication.

Perceptual color spaces for computer graphics
Perceptually uniform color spaces can be a useful tool for solving computer graphics color selection problems. However, before they can be used effectively some basic principles of tristimulus colorimetry must be understood and the color reproduction ...
An empirical investigation of color temperature and gender effects on web aesthetics
Limited research exists on the relevance of hedonic dimensions of human-computer interaction to usability, with only a small set of this research being empirical in nature. Furthermore, previous research has obtained mixed support for gender differences ...
