In the music therapy experiments conducted at public concerts, where the time must be matched with the flow of the concert, a method that can be done in a short time instead of time consuming POMS is desired. And if a method that does not take much time can be developed, it will be practical for checking the mental and physical condition of the driver.
In this laboratory, a color evaluation method was devised. The newly proposed color evaluation method is intended to analyze the subject's feelings based on the colors selected by this two-stage color selection method. During analysis, the selected color is decomposed into red, green, and blue components. The color evaluation method was tested on a trial basis at the 2022 Music Therapy Experimental Meeting. Then, the red and blue components clearly indicate the subject's feelings, suggesting the possibility of using the color evaluation method as a quantitative evaluation one for music therapy. On the other hand, the method of interpreting the green component was unclear and inconclusive. In order to solve the weak points of the proposed method, it will be added improvement, such as making it a form that anyone can use easily on the Web.
