ABSTRACT A series of visual experiments were designed to determine whether naive observers typically evaluate chroma or colorfulness when judging color appearance. A total of 7 observers were asked to determine a color appearance match between Munsell samples under the same illuminant (C) at different levels of illuminance. Color appearance matches were determined for 12 Munsell samples, under five reference and matching scene illuminance conditions, for four experimental techniques. The four experimental techniques were haploscopic, simultaneous inspection, successive inspection, and short-term memory matching. Results suggested that a chroma match was most important when observers were evaluating the color appearance of two scenes at different levels of illuminance. Results were also compared to predictions of two color appearance models. While similar trends were apparent between the experimental results and the two model's predictions, only the Hunt model's chroma term satisfactorily predicted experimental observations.

This terminology has evolved into present CIE definitions for lightness, brightness, colorfulness, saturation, and chroma (among others). The CIE definitions for each of these terms are provided below. Brightness: An attribute of visual sensation according to which an area appears to emit more or less light Lightness: The brightness of an area judged relative to the brightness of a similarly illuminated area that appears white highly transmitting. Colorfulness: An attribute of visual sensation according to which the perceived color of an area appears to be more or less chromatic. Saturation: The colorfulness of an area judged as a proportion of its brightness. Chroma: The colorfulness of an area judged as a proportion of the brightness of a similarly illuminated area that appears white or highly transmitting. These definitions have thoughtfully and conveniently been written to describe how color appearance can be judged in the context of a scene or surround. While such terminology is very useful during visual experiments, outside the laboratory color appearance is usually evaluated in a purely intuitive fashion. The convenience of color appearance terminology belies the fact that very little is known about the method with which color appearance is typically assessed, and the conditions under which that method of assessment might change. The need for research regarding methods used for color appearance assessment is apparent in the field of color reproduction. Recently a great deal of effort has been directed toward hardcopy reproductions of softcopy displays. Because the luminance differences between softcopy and hardcopy images can be large, and the resulting color gamut that the two image types have in common is small, color reproduction is made difficult at best. If it were possible to determine those viewing conditions when relative color appearance was most important (CIE lightness and chroma), and those conditions when absolute color appearance was most important (CIE brightness and colorfulness), it would provide a useful starting point.

  • WHITE LIGHT and COLORED LIGHT Grades K–5
    WHITE LIGHT AND COLORED LIGHT grades K–5 Objective This activity offers two simple ways to demonstrate that white light is made of different colors of light mixed together. The first uses special glasses to reveal the colors that make up white light. The second involves spinning a colorful top to blend different colors into white. Together, these activities can be thought of as taking white light apart and putting it back together again. Introduction The Sun, the stars, and a light bulb are all sources of “white” light. But what is white light? What we see as white light is actually a combination of all visible colors of light mixed together. Astronomers spread starlight into a rainbow or spectrum to study the specific colors of light it contains. The colors hidden in white starlight can reveal what the star is made of and how hot it is. The tool astronomers use to spread light into a spectrum is called a spectroscope. But many things, such as glass prisms and water droplets, can also separate white light into a rainbow of colors. After it rains, there are often lots of water droplets in the air. White sunlight passing through these droplets is spread apart into its component colors, creating a rainbow. In this activity, you will view the rainbow of colors contained in white light by using a pair of “Rainbow Glasses” that separate white light into a spectrum. ! SAFETY NOTE These glasses do NOT protect your eyes from the Sun. NEVER LOOK AT THE SUN!

    Crayons or markers Color Wheel Cut-out (at the end of this description) String, about 3 feet Scissors Step 1 Color each wedge of the circle with a different rainbow color. Use heavy paper or a paper plate. Step 2 Cut out the circle, as well as the center holes (you can use a sharp pencil to poke through, too!). Step 3 Feed the string through the holes and tie the ends together. Step 4 Pick up the string, one side of the loop in each hand so the circle is in the middle. Wind the string by rotating it, in a “jump-rope”-like motion. The string should be a little loose with the circle pulling it down in the middle. Step 5 Move your hands out to pull the string tight to get the wheel spinning. When the string is fully unwound, move your hands closer together so it can wind in the other direction If it’s not spinning fast enough, keep winding! Step 6 As it spins, what happens to the colors? What do you notice? Color Wheel Page 1 What did you notice when you spun the wheel? You may have seen the colors seem to disappear! Where did they go? Let’s think about light and color, starting with the sun. The light that comes from the sun is actually made up of all different colors on the light spectrum. When light hits a surface, some of the colors are absorbed and some are reflected. We only see the colors that are reflected back.

  • OSHER Color 2021
    OSHER Color 2021 Presentation 1 Mysteries of Color Color Foundation Q: Why is color? A: Color is a perception that arises from the responses of our visual systems to light in the environment. We probably have evolved with color vision to help us in finding good food and healthy mates. One of the fundamental truths about color that's important to understand is that color is something we humans impose on the world. The world isn't colored; we just see it that way. A reasonable working definition of color is that it's our human response to different wavelengths of light. The color isn't really in the light: We create the color as a response to that light Remember: The different wavelengths of light aren't really colored; they're simply waves of electromagnetic energy with a known length and a known amount of energy. OSHER Color 2021 It's our perceptual system that gives them the attribute of color. Our eyes contain two types of sensors -- rods and cones -- that are sensitive to light. The rods are essentially monochromatic, they contribute to peripheral vision and allow us to see in relatively dark conditions, but they don't contribute to color vision. (You've probably noticed that on a dark night, even though you can see shapes and movement, you see very little color.) The sensation of color comes from the second set of photoreceptors in our eyes -- the cones. We have 3 different types of cones cones are sensitive to light of long wavelength, medium wavelength, and short wavelength.
