The lower the color index, the more blue (or hotter) the object is. Conversely, the larger the color index, the more red (or cooler) the object is. This is a consequence of the logarithmic magnitude scale , in which brighter objects have smaller (more negative) magnitudes than dimmer ones.
These eight samples are employed to calculate the general color rendering index . The last six samples provide supplementary information about the color rendering properties of the light source; the first four for high saturation, and the last two as representatives of well-known objects.
The difference in brightness between two bands is referred to as an object's color index, or simply color. On color–color diagrams, the color defined by two wavelength bands is plotted on the horizontal axis, and the color defined by another brightness difference will be plotted on the vertical axis.
Colour Index International (CII) is a reference database jointly maintained by the Society of Dyers and Colourists and the American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists. [1] It currently contains over 27,000 individual products listed under 13,000 Colour Index Generic Names. [ 2 ]
The apparent magnitudes of stars in the system are often used to determine the color indices B−V and U−B, the difference between the B and V magnitudes and the U and B magnitudes respectively. [1] The system is defined using a set of color optical filters in combination with an RMA 1P21 photomultiplier tube. [2]
This (u,v) chromaticity space became the CIE 1960 color space, which is still used to calculate the CCT (even though MacAdam did not devise it with this purpose in mind). [16] Using other chromaticity spaces, such as u'v', leads to non-standard results that may nevertheless be perceptually meaningful. [17] Close up of the CIE 1960 UCS.
Color index, as a geological term, is a measure of the ratio between generally dark mafic minerals and generally light felsic minerals in an igneous rock. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The color index of an igneous rock is the volume percentage of mafic minerals in the rock, excluding minerals generally regarded as "colorless" such as apatite , muscovite ...
The salient difference between CRI and MI is the color space used to calculate the color difference, the one used in CRI being obsolete and not perceptually uniform. MI can be decomposed into MI vis and MI UV if only part of the spectrum is being considered. The numerical result can be interpreted by rounding into one of five letter categories: [6]
