A Simple Calibration Procedure for Color CRT Displays

Abstract

A simple calibration procedure for color CRT displays is described. It provides a convenient means of producing colors specified in terms of their chromaticity coordinates and luminance, as well as the inverse procedure -- determining the chromaticity and luminance of displayed colors to a reasonable degree of accuracy without direct measurement. It is intended for those with access to a spectroradiometer but with little or no background in color perception and measurement. A brief description of the commonly used 1931 CIE system of colorimetry is provided as background. References are provided for those desiring further information on the CIE system and issues affecting accurate color CRT calibration.
