The Farnsworth–Munsell D15 Color Vision Test is an older version of the test. It is composed of a single tray, holding 15 independent color hues. The D15 test is administered in the same way as the 100 Hues test; the same environmental factors are recommended for non-professional results and required to garner completely professional results.
Colorimetry is "the science and technology used to quantify and describe physically the human color perception". [1] It is similar to spectrophotometry, but is distinguished by its interest in reducing spectra to the physical correlates of color perception, most often the CIE 1931 XYZ color space tristimulus values and related quantities.
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 ( lightness ), and chroma (color intensity).
As most definitions of color difference are distances within a color space, the standard means of determining distances is the Euclidean distance.If one presently has an RGB (red, green, blue) tuple and wishes to find the color difference, computationally one of the easiest is to consider R, G, B linear dimensions defining the color space.
In color science, the white point of an illuminant or of a display is a neutral reference characterized by a chromaticity; all other chromaticities may be defined in relation to this reference using polar coordinates.
While the intention behind CIELAB was to create a space that was more perceptually uniform than CIEXYZ using only a simple formula, [3] CIELAB is known to lack perceptual uniformity, particularly in the area of blue hues. [4] The lightness value, L* in CIELAB is calculated using the cube root of the relative luminance with an offset near black.
The Helmholtz–Kohlrausch effect (after Hermann von Helmholtz and V. A. Kohlrausch [1]) is a perceptual phenomenon where some hues, even when of the same lightness, appear to be bolder than others. Each color on top has approximately the same luminance level and yet they do not appear equally bright or dark.
Colorimetrist Jan Koenderink, in a critique of Hering's system, considered it inconsistent not to apply the same argument to the other two subtractive primaries, cyan and magenta, and see them as unique hues as well, not a "greenblue" or a "redblue". He also pointed out the difficulty within a four color theory that the primaries would not be ...
