  2. Metamerism (color) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metamerism_(color)

    Color matches made in the paint industry are often aimed at achieving a spectral color match rather than just a tristimulus (metameric) color match under a given spectrum of light. A spectral color match attempts to give two colors the same spectral reflectance characteristic, making them a good metameric match with a low degree of metamerism ...

  3. Color charge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_charge

    Color charge is a property of quarks and gluons that is related to the particles' strong interactions in the theory of quantum chromodynamics (QCD). Like electric charge, it determines how quarks and gluons interact through the strong force; however, rather than there being only positive and negative charges, there are three "charges", commonly called red, green, and blue.

  4. Impossible color - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impossible_color

    In this image, both RGB and Natural Color System color pairs are provided. It may be necessary to zoom to adjust the image. Some people may be able to see the color "red-green" in this image by letting their eyes cross so that both + symbols are on top of each other. In this image, both RGB and Natural Color System color pairs are provided. It ...

  5. Opponent process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opponent_process

    When staring at a bright color for a while (e.g. red), then looking away at a white field, an afterimage is perceived, such that the original color will evoke its complementary color (green, in the case of red input). When complementary colors are combined or mixed, they "cancel each other out" and become neutral (white or gray).

  6. Color theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_theory

    Despite this, many color theorists have devised formulae, principles or guidelines for color combination with the aim being to predict or specify positive aesthetic response or "color harmony". Color wheel models have often been used as a basis for color combination guidelines and for defining relationships between colors. Some theorists and ...

  7. Natural Color System - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_Color_System

    The colors of the Swedish flag are officially established to be NCS 0580-Y10R for the shade of yellow, and NCS 4055-R95B for the shade of blue. The Natural Colour System (NCS) is a proprietary perceptual color model. It is based on the color opponency hypothesis of color vision, first proposed by German physiologist Ewald Hering. [1]

  8. Munsell color system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Munsell_color_system

    The Munsell color system, showing: a circle of hues at value 5 chroma 6; the neutral values from 0 to 10; and the chromas of purple-blue (5PB) at value 5. In colorimetry, the Munsell color system is a color space that specifies colors based on three properties of color: hue (basic color), value , and chroma (color intensity

  9. Opponent-process theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opponent-process_theory

    Opponent-process theory suggests that color perception is controlled by the activity of three opponent systems. In the theory, he postulated about three independent receptor types which all have opposing pairs: white and black, blue and yellow, and red and green. These three pairs produce combinations of colors for us through the opponent process.
