In this paper, Chinese paintings are scanned using a scanner under the same light conditions, and RGB format files are obtained. In order to ensure the accuracy of extracting the color elements of Chinese paintings through HSV color conversion of RGB format files and color-cutting processing based on fuzzy C-mean clustering on the premise of the extracted color elements, we explain in detail the application of the color elements of the art of Chinese paintings in the presentation of the creativity and the value of the Chinese painting art and carry out an example of analysis of the color elements of the art of Chinese paintings. The data shows that the highest choice of males for the perception of color elements in Chinese painting art is the “blue and yellow” option number of people accounting for 64.5% of the total. In contrast, the females in the color combination of the most choices with the same as the males, but accounted for a higher 71.5%, indicating that there is a difference between the perception of color elements in the art of Chinese painting for boys and girls, which sets out the differences in the perception of color elements in Chinese painting art for boys and girls. Boys and girls have different aesthetic views on the inventiveness of color elements in Chinese painting art, as evidenced by this. This study promotes the improvement of visual expression and creative presentation of color elements in Chinese painting art. Also, it has theoretical guidance value for the research and development of Chinese painting art information.
