An Evaluation of Methods for Producing Desired Colors on CRT Monitors

Abstract

Three experiments were performed to evaluate methods for generating colors having desired CIE chromaticity coordinates and luminances on CRT monitors. Methods based on piecewise linear interpolation were found to yield better accuracy than others based on linear regression. Comparisons between two monitors revealed no substantial differences in accuracy but the monitor's state of adjustment was found to have important effects. Evidence was also obtained concerning the number of CRT measurement points needed to obtain maximum accuracy from the interpolation-based methods. The methods' accuracies are characterized and avenues for improvement are suggested.
