Abstract: The art of painting has the ability to evoke ideas based on emotional experience. The famous paintings, as a work of art, are characterized by rich tints, high contrast and harmonious color hues. In this study, we briefly introduce the basic principles of chromatology and put forward a map color design method based on famous paintings. Combined with traditional cartographic rules, map design and comparative analysis are carried out from the perspectives of composition and color by extracting palette and analyzing color pattern of the famous painting. The results show that the map design scheme can well exhibit the color and emotion of the painting when user chose the painting with similar visual structure of the cartographic region. Furthermore, referring the color pattern of famous painting to achieve the association between map elements and real features, it can well display the characteristics of landscape color and the cultural spirit of the cartographic region on the map. Therefore, the proposed method has a reference value for guiding map color scheme design and "user-centered" map design.

Key words: famous paintings, traditional cartographic rules, digital map design, on-demand map design
