# Emotions and Colors in a Design Archiving System: Applying AI Technology for Museums

### Design Works Archiving System  
With these 1214 images and emotional and descriptive adjectives, we finally constructed metadata to build a database and archiving system based on the information and characteristics of the design works. The basic metadata units were artist, title, year, material, size, type, and so forth, to which we added the dominant color and emotion data of the design works. We connected data to emotions by combining emotional and descriptive adjectives related to colors that viewers had seen physically and intuitively when they viewed these design works. After linking to the database that stored the main color and emotion data for the design works, we created a web-based archive-searching system, as shown in Figure 8A. System users, especially exhibition experts, can type in the name of an artist or title of design work in the search engine. In the case of searching by colors, the 120 monochromatic colors of the IRI image scale were designed into a badge shape, allowing the archive users to select the dominant colors of the design work easily. In addition, the users can search design works according to emotional adjectives by selecting from among 12 adjectives. Figure 8A shows a search for design works using the emotion spring \begin{table}

Table 3: IRI RGB color numbers of emotional adjectives from the design works (duplications eliminated). Figure 8: Searching the system with the design work’s emotions, here with springy checked on the details page for the design work by [PERSON] in the searching system. When we searched for the design work Composition II in Red, Blue, and Yellow by [PERSON], we brought up what is shown in Figure 8B. There was information on the details page about the dominant three colors from the image with the ratio of IRI color with distance value between the extracted RGB and the closest IRI RGB. The results of the IRI RGB from the design work were red tint (202, 0, 63), gray tint (215, 215, 215), and dark tint (53, 81, 92) in ratio order. From the work, the most dominant emotional adjective was springy, and its descriptive adjective was brilliant.
