A quarter of a century ago, the first systematic behavioral experiments were performed to
clarify the nature of color constancy—the effect whereby the perceived color of a surface …

When the illumination on a scene changes, so do the visual signals elicited by that scene. In
spite of these changes, the objects within a scene tend to remain constant in their apparent …

If surfaces in a scene are to be distinguished by their color, their neural representation at
some level should ideally vary little with the color of the illumination. Four possible neural …

For a stable visual world, the colours of objects should appear the same under different
lights. This property of colour constancy has been assumed to be fundamental to vision, and …

To what extent do observers' judgments of surface color with natural scenes depend on
global image statistics? To address this question, a psychophysical experiment was …

The illumination in natural environments varies through the day. Stable inferences about
surface color might be supported by spatial ratios of cone excitations from the reflected light …

Naive observers viewed a sequence of colored Mondrian patterns, simulated on a color
monitor. Each pattern was presented twice in succession, first under one daylight illuminant …

Variants of Metelli's episcotister model, which are based on additive color mixture, have
been found to describe the luminance conditions for perceptual transparency very …

The perceived colors of reflecting surfaces generally remain stable despite changes in the
spectrum of the illuminating light. This color constancy can be measured operationally by …

The identification of objects, illuminants, and transparencies are probably the most important
perceptual functions of color. This paper examines the effects of perceptual scission, image …
