Color Discrimination of Twelve Observers

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The sensitivities of twelve normal observers to small color differences were determined by studying the distribution of color-matching errors about a color center. Twenty-two color centers were used. These were distributed throughout the chromaticity diagram. The average luminance of the colors was 4.9 ft-L. The matching field size subtended 10° at the observer’s position. The remainder of the visual field was filled with a white surround. The data for the twelve observers are found to be in general agreement with previous experiments although some differences appear significant.
