Abstract
An evaluation of chromatic and color-threshold differences was carried out by using the CMC(l:c) and the BFD(l:c) color-difference formulas [ J. Soc. Dyers Colour. 100, 128 ( 1984); J. Soc. Dyers Colour. 103, 86 ( 1987)] from experimental threshold results obtained with visual colorimeters [ J. Opt. Soc. Am. 32, 247 ( 1942); J. Opt. Soc. Am. 39, 808 ( 1949); J. Opt. Soc. Am. 47, 137 ( 1957); J. Opt. Soc. Am. 61, 1135 ( 1971)]. The good results previously reported on the use of these two new formulas with surface colors are also found for the chromatic differences calculated, especially with the BFD(1:1) formula. In the case of color differences BFD(0.6:1) improves the results achieved with BFD(1:1) and gives results similar to those of CMC(1:1). The claim of CMC(l:c) and BFD(l:c) as sometimes superior alternatives to the currently recommended CIE formulas CIELUV and CIELAB can be supported by the present results.
