The Heer was by far the largest branch of the Wehrmacht, and, upon the outbreak of war, Luftwaffe and Kriegsmarine units were theoretically subordinated to army command at a tactical level. Yeide, like Ellis, does mention that some former Wehrmacht officers later upgraded their views of Patton, which he ascribes partly to a cooling of passions, partly as an attempt to curry favor when Germany joined nato. This was broadly similar to the other-ranks tunic, but differed in detail: the collar was of a taller, more pointed rise- and-fall type, the shoulders were padded, the sleeves had deep turnback cuffs, there was no internal suspension system or grommets for belt hooks, and there were two ramp-buttons at the back of the waist to support the belt.

  • Psychophysical Determination of the Relevant Colours That Describe the Colour Palette of Paintings
    Journal of Imaging Article Psychophysical Determination of the Relevant Colours That Describe the Colour Palette of Paintings Juan Luis Nieves * , Juan Ojeda, Luis Gómez-Robledo and Javier Romero Department of Optics, Faculty of Science, University of Granada, 18071 Granada, Spain; [email protected] (J.O.); [email protected] (L.G.-R.); [email protected] (J.R.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: In an early study, the so-called “relevant colour” in a painting was heuristically introduced as a term to describe the number of colours that would stand out for an observer when just glancing at a painting. The purpose of this study is to analyse how observers determine the relevant colours by describing observers’ subjective impressions of the most representative colours in paintings and to provide a psychophysical backing for a related computational model we proposed in a previous work. This subjective impression is elicited by an efficient and optimal processing of the most representative colour instances in painting images. Our results suggest an average number of 21 subjective colours. This number is in close agreement with the computational number of relevant colours previously obtained and allows a reliable segmentation of colour images using a small number of colours without introducing any colour categorization. In addition, our results are in good agreement with the directions of colour preferences derived from an independent component analysis. We show Citation: Nieves, J.L.; Ojeda, J.; that independent component analysis of the painting images yields directions of colour preference Gómez-Robledo, L.; Romero, J. aligned with the relevant colours of these images. Following on from this analysis, the results suggest Psychophysical Determination of the that hue colour components are efficiently distributed throughout a discrete number of directions Relevant Colours That Describe the and could be relevant instances to a priori describe the most representative colours that make up the Colour Palette of Paintings.

  • Accurately Reproducing Pantone Colors on Digital Presses
    Accurately Reproducing Pantone Colors on Digital Presses By Anne Howard Graphic Communication Department College of Liberal Arts California Polytechnic State University June 2012 Abstract Anne Howard Graphic Communication Department, June 2012 Advisor: Dr. Xiaoying Rong The purpose of this study was to find out how accurately digital presses reproduce Pantone spot colors. The Pantone Matching System is a printing industry standard for spot colors. Because digital printing is becoming more popular, this study was intended to help designers decide on whether they should print Pantone colors on digital presses and expect to see similar colors on paper as they do on a computer monitor. This study investigated how a Xerox DocuColor 2060, Ricoh Pro C900s, and a Konica Minolta bizhub Press C8000 with default settings could print 45 Pantone colors from the Uncoated Solid color book with only the use of cyan, magenta, yellow and black toner. After creating a profile with a GRACoL target sheet, the 45 colors were printed again, measured and compared to the original Pantone Swatch book. Results from this study showed that the profile helped correct the DocuColor color output, however, the Konica Minolta and Ricoh color outputs generally produced the same as they did without the profile. The Konica Minolta and Ricoh have much newer versions of the EFI Fiery RIPs than the DocuColor so they are more likely to interpret Pantone colors the same way as when a profile is used. If printers are using newer presses, they should expect to see consistent color output of Pantone colors with or without profiles when using default settings.

  • A Thesis Presented to Faculty of Alfred University PHOTOCHROMISM in RARE-EARTH OXIDE GLASSES by Charles H. Bellows in Partial Fu
    A Thesis Presented to Faculty of Alfred University PHOTOCHROMISM IN RARE-EARTH OXIDE GLASSES by Charles H. Bellows In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Alfred University Honors Program May 2016 Under the Supervision of: Chair: Alexis G. Clare, Ph.D. Committee Members: Danielle D. Gagne, Ph.D. Matthew M. Hall, Ph.D. SUMMARY The following thesis was performed, in part, to provide glass artists with a succinct listing of colors that may be achieved by lighting rare-earth oxide glasses in a variety of sources. While examined through scientific experimentation, the hope is that the information enclosed will allow artists new opportunities for creative experimentation. Introduction Oxides of transition and rare-earth metals can produce a multitude of colors in glass through a process called doping. When doping, the powdered oxides are mixed with premade pieces of glass called frit, or with glass-forming raw materials. When melted together, ions from the oxides insert themselves into the glass, imparting a variety of properties including color. The color is produced when the electrons within the ions move between energy levels, releasing energy. The amount of energy released equates to a specific wavelength, which in turn determines the color emitted. Because the arrangement of electron energy levels is different for rare-earth ions compared to transition metal ions, some interesting color effects can arise. Some glasses doped with rare-earth oxides fluoresce under a UV “black light”, while others can express photochromic properties. Photochromism, simply put, is the apparent color change of an object as a function of light; similar to transition sunglasses.

  • Measuring the Color of a Paint on Canvas
    Application Note Materials Measuring the Color of a Paint on Canvas Direct measurement with an UV-Vis external diffuse reflectance accessory Authors Introduction Paolo Teragni, Color measurement systems can translate the sensations, or visual appearances, Paolo Scardina, into numbers according to various geometrical coordinates and illumination Agilent Technologies, Inc. systems. The concept of “visual colorimetry” with a standard observer using a standard device as a method of color specification dates to around 1920. The first standardized color system was defined by CIE (Commission internationelle pour l’Eclairage) around 1931. One may regard the CIE system to be at the “heart” of all color measurement systems. However, for each painter, the use of colors is dictated by their personal inclination, cultural context and available materials. These are the reasons why sophisticated and portable instrumentation is needed to understand “the fine arts” and to find the best way for their conservation. Measurements of colored materials in paintings are often difficult due to their size, shape and location. It is not possible to separate one type of paint into its individual components. Therefore, the collection of reflectance spectra and color data from a small spot of paint is needed to understand and classify the different colored materials within and to be able to remake them as similar as possible to the original. The Agilent Cary 60 UV-Vis spectrophotometer with the Principal coordinates and illuminants of remote fiber optic diffuse reflectance accessory (Figure 1) provides fast and accurate diffuse reflectance measurements Color software on sample sizes around 2 mm in diameter. The Cary 60’s – Tristimulus highly focused beam makes it ideal for fiber optic work.
