Abstract
A colour-naming model was developed to categorize volumes for each of the 1 1 basic names in CIELAB colour space. This was tested with three different sets of data for two languages (English and Mandarin), derived from extensi ve colour categorization experiments. The performance of the model in predi cting colour names was satisfactory, with an average prediction error of 8. 3%. (C) 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
