This research aim to find out the color area of young people compare to color area of elderly by simulating the cataract vision of elderly with the cataract experiencing goggles. It also aim at finding the effective color area of elderly that needed for assigning color in communication design. This psychophysical experiment utilize categorical methods. 200 solid color in variety of colors across the spectrum were prepared as color chips in the size of 1x1. Subjects were asked to assign all color chips into 4 color groups of Red, Green, Yellow and Blue. Experiment were done in 2 rounds, first without goggles and repeat with goggles wearing on. 40 subjects in the age of 25-40 years old, conducted 1 repetition of naked eyes and goggles vision. Color chips were spectrophotometrically measured and each color coordinate of color chips were plotted on graph. We found that the color area of elderly is shrinked compared to color area of young subjects. The color area efficiency and difference between normal eyes and eyes with goggles were in different degree for each opponent colors. We concluded that it is necessary for assigning color in communication signs that has enough color contrast to suit the clear color vision for elderly.
