APPLICATION OF COLOR VISION THEIRY TO TWO-COLOR MIXTURES
Abstract
Data was collected on two-color mixtures to evaluate the effects of photographic filters (i.e., densities of corresponding pairs on two slides) and projection filters on perceived hue and saturation. The first part of the program employed broad band filters. Three slides were combined factorially, yielding slide pairs. Each of these pairs was projected through nine filter combinations. Subjects judged the hue and saturation of nine stimulus chips. It was found that some but not all pairs of projection filters yielded a full range of color and further, that classical color mixture theory was adequate to explain the perceived colors if consideration was given to the induction of the complement of the background color. The second part of the program employed narrow-band filters. Fifteen pairs of slides were combined factorially with twenty-seven pairs of projection filters and seven conditions of ambient illumination. As with the broad band filters, it was found that some but not all filter combinations produced a full range of color. However, classical color mixture theory was not adequate to explain all the perceived hues. Finally, a portion of the data was used to evaluate the model of color perception proposed by Yilmaz.
