Abstract

This study attempts to find an objective method to determine whether a given color is yellow, orange, or red, simply by evaluating its technical values and without looking at the color. After a review of the early Pantone Matching System and the current Pantone Formula Guide Coated, the first attempt to create a color wheel was to some extent possible.
This was done firstly by selecting already named Pantone colors and colors that
unambiguously belong to a particular color group, and secondly by using their hue angles (h*/hab) to determine the boundaries surrounding the orange color
group in the CIE a*b* projection circle. By this method, the orange color group is determined to be located between 41.5° and 85° (hab). However, more in
-depth studies are required to verify or falsify his methodology.
