Abstract
Empirical evidence suggests that color categories emerge in a universal, recurrent, hierarchical pattern across different cultures in the following order; white, black < red < green, yellow < blue < brown < pink, gray, orange, and purple}. This pattern is referred to as the "Color Hierarchy". Over two experiments, the present study examines whether there is evidence for such hierarchical color category learning patterns in Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). Experiment A investigates whether color categories are learned randomly, or in a fixed, hierarchical fashion. Results show that colors higher up the Color Hierarchy (e.g. red) are generally learned before colors lower down the hierarchy (e.g. brown, orange, gray). Experiment B examines whether object color affects recall in object detection. Similar to Experiment A, results show that object recall is noticeably impacted by color, with colors higher up the Color Hierarchy generally showing better recall. Additionally, objects whose color can be described by adjectives that emphasise colorfulness (e.g. vivid, brilliant, deep) show better recall than those which de-emphasise colorfulness (e.g. dark, pale, light). The effect of both color hue and adjective on object recall is still observable, even when controlling for contrast through grayscale images. These results highlight similarities between humans and CNNs in color perception, and provide insight into factors that influence object detection. They also show the value of using deep learning techniques as a means of investigating cognitive universalities in an efficient, unbiased, cost-effective way.
