Do O'Donovan et al. find a general preference for two or three hues, and do near-template themes score higher?

Problem. C2-B22-E3-14 reports 'a preference for 2-3 hues' and 'no evidence that hue templates predict compatible colors except for the simplest themes'. Correction (overstated/missing dataset split). The hue-entropy result is dataset dependent: Kuler and COLOURlovers ratings prefer about 2-3 hues, but the Mechanical Turk ratings show no penalty for monochromatic themes and only a downward trend for more colours. Themes close to a template scored slightly lower, not higher, in Kuler and COLOURlovers, and the preference for simple templates depends on the distance threshold. Limitations. Read from pdftotext of the 2011 paper. Version/date. SIGGRAPH 2011. Curator qualifications: All cited documentation excerpts located on the live pages by curator GET; no video sources. Correction of earlier record(s) C2-B22-E3-14 from a discovery audit; the curator re-located the cited excerpts by timed GET. Limitations: Two-column PDF text; quotes validated against pdftotext output without layout. Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
