Pain Scales

Kirabug:

It is currently impossible to objectively measure pain.

At the same time, sometimes we need to know how much something hurts to guide treatment.

Humans have come up with a lot of pain scales, and here are some of the ones I've tripped over.

==The generic pain scale==

[[File: pain-scale-generic.jpg | alt="description follows this image."]]

A 0-10 scale of pain in a rainbow where the top of the scale (10) is in a dark red and the bottom of the scale (0) is light blue.

From bottom to top, the levels are:

* 0. no pain. I have no pain
* 1. Minimal. My pain is hardly noticeable.
* 2. Mild. I have a low level of pain. I am aware of my pain only when I pay attention to it.
* 3. Uncomfortable. My pain bothers me but I can ignore it most of the time.
* 4. Moderate. I am constantly aware of my pain but I can continue most activities.
* 5. Distracting. I think about my pain most of the time. I cannot do some of the activities I need to do each day because of the pain.
* 6. Distressing. I think about my pain all of the time. I give up many activities because of my pain.
* 7. Unmanageable. I am in pain all of the time. I give up many activities because of my pain.
* 8. Intense. My pain is so severe that it is hard to think of anything else. Talking and listening are difficult.
* 9. Severe. My pain is all that I can think about. I can barely talk or move because of the pain.
* 10. Unable to move. I am in bed and can't move due to my pain. I need someone to take me to the emergency room to get help for my pain.

==Another basic pain scale==

[[File:Pain-scale-boring.jpg| alt="description follows this image]]

A 0-10 scale of pain using 6 smilie faces in a row. Above the faces it says choose the face that best describes how you feel. The faces are drawn in blue and there are no background colors inside the faces.

From left to right, the levels are:

* 0. No hurt. The face is smiling broadly.
* 2. Hurts little bit. The face is smiling, but less broadly.
* 4. Hurts little more. the face is no longer smiling and the mouth is in a straight line. The eyebrows are up as if concerned.
* 6. Hurts even more. The eyebrows are in a sad position and the mouth is slightly frowning.
* 8. Hurts whole lot. The face is frowning and the eyes are drooping with distress.
* 10. Hurts worst. The frown is very deep and the face is sobbing with visible tears going down the cheeks.

In [https://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/2010/02/boyfriend-doesnt-have-ebola-probably.html?m=1 Boyfriend Doesn't Have Ebola. Probably.] by Allie Brosh, she criticizes the scale, reinterpreting it to mean as follows:

<blockquote>
0: Haha! I'm not wearing any pants!

2: Awesome! Someone just offered me a free hot dog!

4: Huh. I never knew that about giraffes.

6: I'm sorry about your cat, but can we talk about something else now? I'm bored.

8: The ice cream I bought barely has any cookie dough chunks in it. This is not what I expected and I am disappointed.

10:You hurt my feelings and now I'm crying!
</blockquote>

==The Hyperbole and a Half pain scale==

From the article [https://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/2010/02/boyfriend-doesnt-have-ebola-probably.html?m=1 Boyfriend Doesn't Have Ebola. Probably.] by Allie Brosh.

Allie thought that the pain scale above was ineffective, and drew her own. It provides 12 levels of pain using stick figures consisting of heads and arms. To describe these two images, I'll provide a number, a visual description, and then Allie's textual description of what that drawing means.

[[File:Painfaces0-6.png|alt="Half the pain scale. See below"]]
[[File:Painfaces7-12.png|alt="The other half of the pain scale. See below"]]

0: A face with normal eyes and a flat line for a mouth. The left arm is waving hello. Hi. I am not experiencing any pain at all. I don't know why I'm even here.

1: The arms are down to the sides but stiffly. One corner of the mouth is turned down. I am completely unsure whether I am experiencing pain or itching or maybe I just have a bad taste in my mouth.

2: The face is frowning, and the hands are together in front of the chest. I probably just need a Band Aid.

3: The face is frowning more deeply and the hands are pulling into fists. The eyes are dilated. This is distressing. I don't want this to be happening to me at all.

4: The mouth is now frowning but it is also open. The eyes are still dilated. The hands are rising toward the face. My pain is not fucking around.

5: The eyes are not only dilated but starting to fill with tears. They are putting their hands in their mouth. Why is this happening to me??

6: The eyes are full of tears and a few are falling. The frown is so deep as to reach both edges of the face and some tears are falling. The hands are up in an almost protective position. Ow. Okay, my pain is super legit now.

7: Both eyes are sobbing, the whites of the eyes are huge and the eyeballs are now red. I see Jesus coming for me and I'm scared.

8: The red eyeballs have grown and the person is clearly screaming. I am experiencing a disturbing amount of pain. I might actually be dying. Please help.

9: The eyes are fully red, the mouth is frowning and you can see the depth of the mouth by the pink deep inside. They have started leaning backwards. I am almost definitely dying.

10: The person looks crazed. One eye is fully dilated with a red eyeball rim, the other has a tiny red eyeball in the center. The mouth is still screaming. I am actively being mauled by a bear.

11: The face has turned pink, the person is drooling, their eyes are closed, their hands are at their cheeks. Blood is going to explode out of my face at any moment.

Too Serious For Numbers: There's blood seeping out of both eyes and the wide open mouth, as well as running down both arms. You probably have ebola. It appears that you may also be suffering from Stigmata and/or pinkeye.

8: The red eyeballs have grown and the person is clearly screaming. I am experiencing a disturbing amount of pain. I might actually be dying. Please help.

9: The eyes are fully red, the mouth is frowning and you can see the depth of the mouth by the pink deep inside. They have started leaning backwards. I am almost definitely dying.

10: The person looks crazed. One eye is fully dilated with a red eyeball rim, the other has a tiny red eyeball in the center. The mouth is still screaming. I am actively being mauled by a bear.

11: The face has turned pink, the person is drooling, their eyes are closed, their hands are at their cheeks. Blood is going to explode out of my face at any moment.

Too Serious For Numbers: There's blood seeping out of both eyes and the wide open mouth, as well as running down both arms. You probably have ebola. It appears that you may also be suffering from Stigmata and/or pinkeye.

Branding

Wikipedia starts their entry on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Branding Branding] with "Branding may refer to marking a body by charring"... and that's not 100% inaccurate for our uses. 

More fitting however is their entry for [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brand_management Brand Management]: "In marketing, brand management is the analysis and planning on how that brand is perceived in the market. Developing a good relationship with the target market is essential for brand management. Tangible elements of brand management include the product itself; look, price, the packaging, etc. The intangible elements are the experience that the consumer has had with the brand, and also the relationship that they have with that brand. A brand manager would oversee all of these things."

Color Theory

2025-06-04T19:40:54Z

Kirabug: /* What it is */

==What it is==
Per [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_theory Wikipedia], color theory is:
<blockquote>a body of practical guidance to color mixing and the visual effects of a specific color combination. There are also specific definitions (or categories) of colors based on the color wheel: primary color, secondary color, and tertiary color. Although color theory principles first appeared in the writings of Leone Battista Alberti (c.1435) and the notebooks of Leonardo da Vinci (c. 1490), a tradition of "color theory" began int he 18th century, initially with a partisan controversy around Isaac Newton's theory of color (_Opticks_, 1704) and the nature of primary colors. From there it developed as an independent artistic tradition with only superficial reference to colorimetry and vision science.
</blockquote>
More about color:
* [https://www.tumblr.com/sigridstumb/783888867616030720 This list of color websites] on [[tumblr]]

==Terminology==

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hue Hue] is the term that denotes an object's color. "Red" is a hue. 

[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chroma Chroma], sometimes referred to as Intensity, refers to the purity of a color. Pure red (#ff0000) has high chroma, but pink has low chroma because it has white mixed into the red. 

[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturation_%28color_theory%29#Saturation Saturation] refers to how a hue appears under particular light conditions. Think about the color of a red ballon on a bright sunny day vs how it appears under moonlight. When the light is less saturated (like when it has to bounce off the moon to get to you) the color isn't as vibrant. 

[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightness_%28color%29 Value] refers to how light or dark a color is - not in the "pink is lighter than red" way but in the "orange is a bright color and purple is a dark one" way. 

Tones are created when taking a pure color and adding grey to it. They tend to look dull or soft, sophisticated, vintage, or elegant. 

Shades are created when black is added to a hue. (This is often misdefined as tints or tones.) All true greys are shades of white. 

Tints are created when white is added to a hue. Very light tints are sometimes called pastels. All true grey are tints of black. 

When choosing colors, make sure that you don't choose with similar chroma or saturation. 

==The Color Wheel==

Most explanations of color theory start at the color wheel, an abstract illustration of the organization of color hues around a circle. The color wheel shows the relationship between [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primary_color], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secondary_color secondary], and sometimes tertiary colors. Which colors display as the primary colors depend on whether the [http://www.colormatters.com/color-and-design/color-systems-rgb-and-cmyk color system] is using [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Additive_color additive] (light based - think "computer monitor") or [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subtractive_color subtractive] (surface-based - think "paints or printouts") color. 

Additive color is generally presented as an RGB (Red Green Blue) color set. Subtractive color is most often presented as CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black). The two systems are different because mixing light colors results in different colors than mixing paint colors. When all the colors in light are mixed together, the result is white light. (This is why prisms work.) When all the colors in subtractive color sets such as paints are mixed together, the result is black paint. 

Most design (and writing and spreadsheet etc.) software provides some sort of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_picker color tool] to help users pick specific colors for presentation. 

It is worth noting that if a computer monitor is not [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_calibration calibrate], there is no guarantee that the color it displays matches the color that a calibrated monitor will display. In other words, what looks like a bright yellow on my screen may not show up on yours at all. It is also worth noting that the vast majority of the population does not calibrate their monitors. Should we calibrate ours? [https://css-tricks.com/how-should-we-calibrate-monitors-for-the-web/ It's a hotly-debated topic], but not one that's reached consensus. 

In hex codes, the color wheel is represented by 2 digits each, red, green, and blue. The higher the hex code, the brighter the color from 00 to FF. So #ff0000 is pure red, #00ff00 is pure green, and #0000ff is pure blue. To create the brightest yellow, red and green must be added together, so #ffff00 is the result. #00ffff is the brightest cyan, and #ff00ff is the brightest purple. 

By adding one to each of the left-hand characters of the three pairs, we raise the color's brightness while lowering its saturation. This prevents a shade from wandering too closely to pitch black or super bright. 

==Color schemes==

A [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_scheme color scheme] is the choice of colors used in design for a project. 

Types of color schemes

* [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monochromatic_color Monochromatic] - All colors are based off a single hue. Example: everything is a shade of blue. 
* [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analogous_colors Analogous] - All colors are based off of two or three hues that are next to each other on the color wheel. 
* [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complementary_colors Complementary] - All colors are based off of two hues that are opposite each other on the color wheel. Popular examples are purple and yellow, blue and orange, red and green. 
* Split-Complementary - Similar to Complementary, this uses a color and its opposite, and the color next to it and its opposite. 
* Triadic - This scheme uses three color hues that are spaced equally around the color wheel. 
* Tetradic / Double Complementary - This scheme uses four color hues that are spaced equally around the color wheel. 

For great examples of the color schemes mentioned in the previous list, check out [https://uxplanet.org/color-theory-brief-guide-for-designers-76e11c57eaa Color Theory: Brief Guide for Designers]. 

==Color Psychology (or: why do we care?)==

Colors influence the mood and behavior of the people observing them. Color psychology studies these behavioral changes and influences. Some evidence suggests that different colors indirectly affect the hypothalamus, which in turn affects the pituitary gland and hormone levels. One experiment showed that people in a room colored with red light overestimated time, and in a green or blue room they underestimated time. In another study, workers said that black boxes were heavier than green boxes. Physically, color can affects us as well. Infant jaundice is treated with blue light. Patients suffering from Parkinson's disease tend to worsen in the presence of red, and improve in the presence of green. However, definitive research on the effects of color on the mind and body have not been established. 

Research provided by Colorcom shows it only takes 90 seconds for people to make subconscious judgement about a product and 62%-90% of that judgement is based on its color.

Our opinions and perceptions of colors change as we age, in part because we change both mentally and physically as we grow. Children like the color yellow pretty much, but as they age, they tend to lose their attraction to it. As we age we tend to like hues of shorter wavelength (blue, green, and purple) over the longer wavelength (red, orange, yellow) colors. 

[https://oneux.co/blog/what-do-colors-mean What do people around the world associate with the colours we see everyday?] by Matthew Talebi on oneux.co uses a survey of people from Asia, Europe and North America to show color trends as positive, neutral, or negative for a number of emotions. For example, the color orange is most commonly associated with food or gluttony in Asia, and with enjoyment and happiness in North America.

[http://tubikstudio.com/color-in-design-influence-on-users-actions/ Color in Design: Influence on Users' Actions], [https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2010/01/color-theory-for-designers-part-1-the-meaning-of-color/ Color Theory for Designers, Part 1: The Meaning of Color], and [http://www2.ca.uky.edu/HES/fcs/FACTSHTS/HF-LRA.151.PDF Responding to Color (pdf)] all explore the meaning ascribed to specific colors, however they touches on only a few cases. [https://www.helpscout.net/blog/psychology-of-color/ The Psychology of Color] outlines how different brands use different colors and the association between the colors and the brand.

It's notable that the meaning behind colors can differ in significant ways from one culture to the next. For example, in the United States, luck is generally associated with green (good luck clovers, money, etc.) but in China, red is the signal of good luck. The value and intensity of a color changes the associations. Context, as always, is key. 

Another example is an Asian-Pacific association between writing a person's name in red and death. [https://www.90daykorean.com/korean-superstitions-that-just-may-save-your-life#8-avoid-writing-names-in-red-ink Korean superstition] holds that writing a person's name in red ink is essentially wishing them death. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_in_Chinese_culture#Red_/_Vermilion Wikipedia's article on color in Chinese culture] confirms that this same belief holds in China, with the exception of official seals.

[http://www.joehallock.com/edu/COM498/associations.html Color Associations] provides research into color psychology regarding which words (like Trust or Security) are associated with which colors. 

==Tips==

Read [https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2012/10/the-code-side-of-color/ Hex Color - The Code Side of Color] for some tips on making underlines on links more readable, better body copy, and warming or cooling body copy. 

[https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2016/04/web-developer-guide-color/ A Simple Web developer's Color Guide] by Laura Elizabeth provides an easy process for picking a color set for a website. She recommends using [http://paletton.com/ Paletton] to figure out an accent color to go with a base color, since Paletton is a color scheme tool. She then walks you through choosing other colors to go in the palette you'll use on your site. 

[https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2010/02/color-theory-for-designer-part-3-creating-your-own-color-palettes/ Color Theory for Designers: How to Create Your Own Color Schemes] by Cameron Chapman also provides instruction for picking a website color scheme.

* [https://www.optimalworkshop.com Optimal Workshop] is my preferred tool for card sorts.
* Nobody can avoid [[Photoshop]] or [[Illustrator]], and I prefer [[Dreamweaver]] for code.
