Weber's law
Physics; Color science
The thesis that perceptual systems respond in such a way so as to make the ratio between the minimum perceptible change in a physical magnitude and the absolute value of that ...
wavelength discrimination function
Physics; Color science
A function from wavelength to the smallest discriminable difference in wavelength. Human wavelength discrimination varies substantially across the spectrum and although ...
Farnsworth-Munsell 100-hue test
Physics; Color science
A standard test for deficiencies of color vision in which the subject is asked to arrange a set of 100 colored chips in circle. Subjects with normal color vision will arrange the ...
Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage (CIE)
Physics; Color science
An international organization that recommends standards and procedures for light and lighting, including colorimetry.
munsell color system
Physics; Color science
A widely used system for describing the color appearance of samples. The Munsell system uses matching against a set of samples and interpolation between them to arrive at a ...
trichromacy
Physics; Color science
Condition of possessing three independent channels for conveying color information, derived from the three different cone types. A single set of three appropriately chosen ...
CIE standard observer
Physics; Color science
A set of tri-stimulus values for spectral lights that is designed to allow a standard and objective way of describing the color matching properties of different lights. Although ...
