This study measures hair color and skin color of 500 Korea women in 20's using a spectrum colorimeter, Minolta CM-700d, and CIE color system. Analyzing the measured basic body color, this study attempts to suggest standard data of Korea females in 20's, it allows Korea women in 20's to help build fundamental data for personal color system based on types of body color, and also it helps industrial development concerning personal color.
1. The result of basic statistical analysis to indicate standard data for body color of Korea Women in 20's is as in the following. Standard measurement values for hair color are L* 18.54(±1.27), a* 1.38(±0.62), and b* 1.60(±0.97), standard measurement values for skin color appear L* 64.08(±1.07), a* 10.26(±1.00), and b* 17.11(±1.47), and standard measureme -nt values for body color are L* 52.69(±0.88), a* 8.04(±0.76), and b* 13.23 (±1.12).
2. In order to find out body color of Korea women in 20's, a coefficient of correlation for the variable of measurement entry of hair color and measurement entry of skin color using a correlation analysis between hair color factor and skin color factor is highly low and there is not found a meaningful correlation. Therefore, there is no distinctive relation between hair color and skin color of each factor and also there is independent variable for factor of body color among 20's women.
3. After conducting factorial analysis of hair color, skin color, and body color to classify types of body color for Korea women in 20's, hair color, the result demonstrates that the number of hair color factors is total three. Factor 1 is a*(redness), b*(yellowness) for side of head (left and right), center of occiput, Factor 2 is L*(lightness) for side of head (left and right), center of occiput, and Factor 3 is L*(lightness), a*(redness), b*(yellowness) for top of head. There are 9 factors derived from the result of factorial analysis for measurement factor of skin color. Overall skin color measurement items show b*(yellowness) in Factor 1, Factor 2 is L*(lightness) and a*(redness) of face color, Factor 3 has a*(redness in side of neck and arms, Factor 4 has L*(lightness) in side of neck and center of forehead. L*(lightness) shows in arms in Factor 5, there is L*(lightness) in center of cheek and zygomatic bone in Factor 6, L*(lightness) and a* (redness) appear in middle of forehead in Factor 7, L*(lightness) shows in center of cheek in Factor 8, and Factor 9 has L*(lightness) in center of bottom chin. As the result of analysis for factor of body color, Factor 1 is b*(yellowness) of skin color, Factor 2 is a*(redness) and b*(yellowness) of hair color, Factor 3 appears L*(lightness) and a*(redness) of skin color, Factor 4 is a*(redness) of skin color, Factor 5 is L*(lightness) in side of neck and back of head, Factor 6 is L*(lightness), a*(redness), and b*(yellowness) on top of head, Factor 7 shows a*(redness) on top of head and L*(lightness) in center of cheek and forehead, Factor 8 is L*(lightness) in center of cheek and zygomatic bone, Factor 9 shows L*(lightness) in arms, Factor 10 is L*(lightness) and a*(redness) in middle of forehead, Factor 11 appears L*(lightness) in center of forehead, and Factor 12 shows L*(lightness) in center of bottom chin as the typical factor.
4. Comparative analysis between each type to identify cluster analysis which is for type classification of Korea women in 20's and characteristic of different types is as in the following. Hair color shows soft cool/light, warm/light, and soft cool/dark in three different types, warm/light, soft warm/medium, soft cool/dark and soft cool/light appears in four types, and warm/light, soft warm/mute light, no base/dark, soft cool/light, and cool/ dark shows in five types.
Considering skin color, no base/mute light, soft warm/mute light, and cool/dark are in three types, soft cool/mute light, warm/dark, soft warm/ mute light, and cool/medium are found in four types, and cool/mute dark, warm/dark, soft warm/dark, cool/light, and soft warm/light shows in five types.
When looking at body color, soft cool/mute dark, soft warm/mute light, and soft warm/mute dark are in three types, cool/mute dark, soft warm/ dark, no base/mute dark, and soft warm/mute light are observed in four types, and lastly soft cool/mute light, soft warm/mute dark, no base/mute light, soft warm/light, and cool/dark are found in five types.
The result of this study could eventually be useful as the preliminary data to build a personal color system for Korea women in 20's and also standard data of body color for Korea females in 20's has an effect on fashion and beauty industry using body color.
