AbstractA method to predict psychological values of color design was derived from our experimental data on 30 random color patterns previously published. This method, based on the two‐dimensional Fourier transform of color patterns, was designed to evaluate psychological values of the pattern in terms of 13 rating scales such as “beautiful‐ugly,” “warm‐cold,” “hard‐soft,” and so on. It was found that the psychological values of random color patterns could be evaluated in terms of zero‐frequency (average color) and low‐, medium‐, and high‐frequency components of the Fourier transform of the patterns. Applicability of the evaluation method to predict psychological impressions of real color design was tested with results from a new experiment on some fabric design that i
