A model for qualitative colour comparison using interval distances
Colours are named by intervals on reference systems on the HSL colour space. Rainbow colours, pale/light/dark colours and colours in the grey scale appear. A similarity measure based on interval distances (SimQCDInt) is defined. The SimQCDInt is used for comparing the qualitative colours (QCs) defined. The QC system and the SimQCDInt are tested proving their effectiveness.
