Loci of Constant Hue and Brightness Determined with Various Surrounding Colors

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

All colors which evoke the same hue and brightness are represented by a curve in the chromaticity diagram and have lower luminances for high saturations than for low. The various loci tend to converge on a point which represents an acceptable white under the conditions of adaptation produced by the surrounding color. The influence on adaptation of surrounding color beyond a ten-degree test field is of the same order of magnitude as the influence of the color of the comparison half of the test field.
