The natural objects that we are surrounded with virtually always contain many different
shades of color, yet the visual system usually categorizes them into a single color category …

In this study, we propose a new approach to the perceptual representation of object colours.
Three-dimensional objects have a polychromatic colour distribution. Yet, human observers …

Color serves both to segment a scene into objects and background and to identify objects.
Although objects and surfaces usually contain multiple colors, humans can readily extract a …

In everyday experience, perceived colors of objects remain approximately constant under
changes in illumination. This constancy is helpful for identifying objects across viewing …

Incorporating statistical characteristics of stimuli in perceptual processing can be highly
beneficial for reliable estimation from noisy sensory measurements but may generate …

We used hue cancellation and focal naming to compare individual differences in stimuli
selected for unique hues (eg, pure blue or green) and binary hues (eg, blue-green) …

Light can vary in both wavelength and intensity. Color vision is the ability to make
discriminations based on the wavelength composition of the light independent of its …

People perceive roughly constant surface colors despite large changes in illumination. The
familiarity of colors of some natural objects might help achieve this feat through direct …

Although color plays a prominent part in our subjective experience of the visual world, the
evolutionary advantage of color vision is still unclear [1–2], with most current answers …

Color has been scientifically investigated by linking color appearance to colorimetric
measurements of the light that enters the eye. However, the main purpose of color …
