Abstract. The automotive interior brings people an intuitive and comfortable feeling that directly
affects the image of the automobile. With the increase of consumer spending power, consumers are
paying more and more attention to the appearance of the automobile interior while attaching
attention to the performance of the automobile. In the pursuit of comfort, car interior decorators
have begun to focus on the individual needs of consumers. Therefore, the concept of car sales for
car dealers can not merely stay on the choice of past sales strategies, but also need to be more
meticulous and personalized, which can gain the favor of consumers before they can stand out
among many competitors. This article starting from the human factors project, and the perspective
of automotive interior design, puts forward opinions and viewpoints on the personalized design of
automotive interiors according to colors and materials, hoping to provide some feasible suggestions
for the personalized design of automobile interiors in China.
Introduction
The ability of consumers to buy cars is becoming more and more powerful. While buying cars, they
also love to show their individuality and differentness. To prevent their cars from being similar to
others, more and more people are pursuing their car interiors. Personalized design are increasingly
demanding, in the same price situation, if a brand of car interior personalized design does not meet
consumer expectations, then consumers are likely to turn to others,therefore, companies should pay
attention to the personalized design of car interiors. Only after fully paying attention to the
personalized needs of consumers can they better meet the needs of consumers and be able to
accurately grasp their Preference and buying preferences can be invincible in the fierce market
competition. Therefore, this paperanalyzes the personal customization of peoplebased on human
factors engineering.
Human Factors Project Introduction

Human factors engineering is based on human factors and uses human science knowledge such as
psychology, physiology, anatomy, anthropometry, etc. to design engineering and operations
management, especially safety design and safety management. People-oriented, focusing on
improving human performance, preventing human error, and considering the optimization of the
overall performance of the human-machine-environment system under the conditions of making the
system as safe and comfortable as possible.
It is precisely because of the emphasis on human factors in engineering design and operation
management that is the characteristics of the discipline. Therefore, we use human factors
engineering as the name of this discipline to highlight the application of human factors in
engineering. From a textual point of view, "Human Factors Engineering", as the name suggests, is
very easy to think about people's factors, and easily understood and accepted.
"Uniformly considering the optimization of the overall performance of the
man-machine-environment system" means that the design of the machine must be consistent with
the physiological and psychological characteristics of the person and be conducive to "safe, efficient,
and comfortable", that is, "ameneutical", as well as Consider adapting people to machines through

training and management, ie "personal opportunities". One-sided emphasis on one aspect does not
meet human factors engineering principles.
The use of human factors engineering focuses on the interrelationships between humans and the
products, equipment, facilities, procedures and environment used in work and daily life. Correct use
of human factors engineering will improve work efficiency and quality, and meet people's value
needs.
Influence of Automotive Interior Color on Personalized Decoration

One of the key factors in the design of automotive interiors is the color. The color of the car interior
can not be underestimated. The color of the car interiors that were more popular in previous years
was dominated by single grayish tones such as black and white. Occasionally, some of the brighter
colors were used, but today's interior color selection is no longer limited to the past. A single color
tone, but focusing on the use of a variety of colors, automotive interior designers have also found
the important role of color in the interior configuration, belonging to the spiritual consumption of
car buyers, they also began to realize that from the color point of view Better car interior design
with people oriented.
In general, the visual sense of the public is different, so the love for color will also be different,
and then there will be great differences in the color choice of car interiors. This difference is
generally from the age, gender, occupation Such as different.
People of different ages are divided into four levels: youngsters, young people, middle-aged
people and senior citizens. We choose to extract color schemes from their living environment. Solid
color car interior is more suitable for owners with children, this color matching to take care of the
hearts of minors, seems relatively single, bright. For adult color selection, the brightness is
generally lower, purity is relatively lower, and dark colors are matched. This color is more in line
with the aesthetic pursuit of adults. Brightness of car interior color, as shown in Figure 1.

The color tone of car interior color design is critical. This car interior color design reflects the
color matching of adult sensory pursuits. They often use dark colors as the main color, and the
lower purity of gray is also within their range of choice. In general, as people's age increases, the
pursuit of color will tend to be primary, and people will use colors that are relatively high purity as
key colors to set off their adult maturity and sense of stability.
Influence of Automotive Interior Materials on Personalized Decoration

Automotive interior design requires the use of a wide variety of materials in the decoration process.
According to experience, under normal circumstances, the human mental state will be affected by
different automotive interior materials, each material has a synchronous nature. This is as if when
we first saw a strange space, we would have different types of feelings. Starting from the overall
tone, including the overall setting, and then the guesswork of the type of material, the final decision
material. It is also analyzed, such as the shape, texture, color, gloss, etc. of the material.
Take the seat cover as an example. Different materials can bring different style experiences to
consumers. For example, cotton seat cover: calm and generous, inexpensive and hard to wear, the
seat cover of cotton texture is calm and generous, strong and durable. Not easy to wear. This kind of
seat cover is very practical, it can be replaced at any time, and there is no special place to pay
attention to in the dismantling process. All kinds of washing methods are applicable, allowing the
owner to keep the car clean and fresh.
The seat cover of a car is generally divided into a variety of types such as a cotton seat cover, a
blended seat cover, a straw seat cover, and a mixed seat cover leather seat cover. The material of the
cotton seat cover is generally made of cotton. The use of this seat cover generally makes the owner
calm and generous, and the texture of the seat cover is strong and durable, and has a long service
life. There is also a very practical and economical car seat cover that is the seat cover of the blended
material. The mixed seat cover can be divided into two types of cotton material plus card and cotton
material plus card and polyester blend. Its advantage lies in its very high quality. Strong and easy to
clean, but rough texture. The seat cover of this material will not shrink or deform after being
washed and can be used by the consumer for a longer period of time. One type of leather seat cover
that we have to mention is the leather seat cover. The leather seat cover can be said to be the
superstar in all seat cover types. It is not only good-looking but also practical. The most important
thing is that it is very high-grade. One of the biggest advantages is that it is cool in winter and cool
in summer, and it is suitable for all seasons. It is also very soft and comfortable after you sit down.
However, the high price of leather seat covers is not affordable for ordinary people. Only the
owners of medium and high-grade cars have the economic strength to use leather seat covers.
Conclusion
Color is a very intuitive visual experience for human beings, and it is an important factor that
directly determines whether car buyers are interested in car products. Therefore, we will talk about
whether the matching of colors in car interior design meets the consumer experience and will have a
direct impact on the consumer's consumer psychology. And car interior designers need to pay
attention to first-hand car users' experience in car interior design. Through understanding the needs
of consumers when choosing car interior materials, make different types of choices, along with
consumers. The requirements for automotive interiors are also getting higher and higher. In order to
further satisfy the consumers, the need for personalized design is elaborated separately from the
colors and materials. It is hoped that it can provide some reference for the personalized design of
automobile interiors in China.
