Abstract
In map design, user’s choices of graphical signs may be unsuitable to their needs. In particular, colours choices may disturb the reading and understanding of maps. We propose a methodology to help users to make personalized and original colours specifications. It implies offering cartographic expertise and favouring creativity. The paper handles with knowledge for colours specification coming from visual perception, cognitive sciences, graphic semiotics, cartography and art. We specify a knowledge base made-up of cartographic rules (semantic, contrasts and conventional), artistic rules and inspiration sources (map samples and famous paintings). The COLorLEGend system based on this knowledge allows users to make various colours specifications and maps, depending on cartographic and artistic colours uses.
