20.500.12556/RUL-189831 Yellow in color naming and matching lexical concentration and local convergence in delayed matching Yellow is an established color category despite being generated by a mixture of primaries on RGB displays. We examined its lexical accessibility, representative‐color selections, and matching accuracy using two complementary tasks. A web‐based survey asked participants to list 10 color terms and select their best representatives from a 64‐field RGB grid. Analyses included English, German, Latvian, and Slovenian samples, comprising 396 participants. Yellow was frequently listed and showed concentrated selections in all four samples, although red was similarly concentrated in some samples and had higher cognitive salience. In a separate experiment, 32 participants matched 40 positions along a display‐generated color sequence, either after a 10‐s delay or while the target remained visible. Spectroradiometric characterization confirmed strongly non‐uniform color spacing. Expressing target–response differences in CIEDE2000 units showed that direct matching and delayed reproduction remained accurate around target where the red and green RGB channels were both maximal [RGB (1,1,0); Target 26, yellow], and a central tendency toward yellow was observed for neighboring targets. Yellow therefore combined lexical accessibility and concentrated exemplar selection with accurate simultaneous matching, and a central tendency in delayed reproduction. basic color terms color naming color perception hue memory yellow osnovni barvni izrazi poimenovanje barv zaznavanje barv spomin za barvne odtenke rumena true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2026-10-16 18:16:44 2026-10-21 15:41:43 2026-10-24 04:36:49 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2026 0 0 14 str. iss. 6, art. e70135 Vol. 51 2026 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno apc 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 535.6 0361-2317 10.1002/col.70135 301918723 Color_Research___Application_-_2026_-_Kreft_-_Yellow_in_Color_Naming_and_Matching__Lexical_Concentration_and_Local.pdf Color_Research___Application_-_2026_-_Kreft_-_Yellow_in_Color_Naming_and_Matching__Lexical_Concentration_and_Local.pdf 1 8C8B12BEEEB42143AB457FBC80C72E72 d22f4f9d3bf9026b5451ca8a0ef2cea8ae4e05eec44247d89f634d5692ef8299 dc5b218e-ced3-11f1-aea2-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=251386 https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/col.70135 0 d8006846-cd54-11f1-8bc5-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=251078 Medicinska fakulteta Biotehniška fakulteta 0 0 0
