| Abstract;Eye-catching color refers to the colors which are attractive and salient to the eye or mind. We hypothesize that eye-catching color improves the perceptual-motor skill of hand-eye corrdination in selective process. The subjects were 105 college students of both sexes, majoring in physical education. A personal computer system was used as an apparatus for the measurement of the hand-eye tasks. The visual pattern of colors in each trial consisted of six colored objects, red, blue, yellow, orange, white, and black. Blue, green, white, and brown were selected as background colors. In the experiment, each pattern of colors was displayed on the monitor of the personal computer. Subjects were asked to select a colored object specified in advance and to extinguish it by pressing the button of the mouse as many times as possible within 30 seconds. The findings in this study indicated that the object colors of white, blue and yellow were recognized as eye-catching colors and that these colors significantly improved the hand-eye corrdination skill in the selective response. It is therefore hypothesized that eye-catching colors are more sensitive in the visual perceptual response, and that these characteristics play important roles in the selective function.
