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 …

The study of color vision encompasses many disciplines, including art, biochemistry,
biophysics, brain imaging, cognitive neuroscience, color preferences, colorimetry, computer …

Previous research investigated the perceptual dimensionality of achromatic reflection of
opaque surfaces, by using either simple analytic models of reflection or measured reflection …

The article deals with the description of the method of investigating main features of color
terms inner image in the consciousness of the bearers of modern Russian culture by the …

The distribution of colors across a surface depends on the interaction between its surface
properties, its shape, and the lighting environment. Shading, chroma, and lightness are …

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 …

The brighter portions of a shaded complex object are in principle more informative about its
lightness and are preferentially fixated during lightness judgments. In this study, we …

Natural surfaces such as soil, grass, and skin usually involve far more complex and
heterogenous structures than the perfectly uniform surfaces assumed in studies on color and …

In this paper, we introduce an innovative parameter that allows us to evaluate the so-called
“relevant colors” in a painting; in other words, the number of colors that would stand out for …
