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 essential resource for readers needing to understand visual perception and for those
trying to produce, reproduce and measure color appearance in various applications such as …

The origin of colour categories and their relationship to colour perception have been the
prime example for testing the influence of language on perception and thought (Sapir-Whorf …

We investigated several sensory and cognitive determinants of colour constancy across 40
illumination hues. In the first experiment, we measured colour naming for the illumination …

This study investigated categorical perception for unique hues in order to establish a
relationship between color appearance, color discrimination, and low-level (second-stage) …

If the most typical red, yellow, green, and blue were particularly colorful (ie, saturated), they
would “jump out to the eye.” This would explain why even fundamentally different languages …

The relationship between the sensory signal of the photoreceptors on one hand and color
appearance and language on the other hand is completely unclear. A recent finding …

Colorfulness and saturation have been neglected in research on color appearance and
color naming. Perceptual particularities, such as cross-cultural stability,“focality,”“uniqueness …

It has now been 20 years since the seminal work by Finlayson et al. on the use of spectral
sharpening of sensors to achieve diagonal color constancy. Spectral sharpening is still used …

Color constancy is the ability to recognize the color of an object (or more generally of a
surface) under different illuminations. Without color constancy, surface color as a perceptual …
