L-cone
Physics; Color science

One of three cone types that contribute to human color vision. The L-cones have their peak spectral sensitivity at a longer wavelength than the other two cone types, the M-cones ...

bipolar cell
Physics; Color science

Retinal interneurons (or neurons who communicate only with other neurons in the same part of the central nervous system) that connect the photoreceptors with the ganglion cells.

basic color term
Physics; Color science

A color word (a) that is monolexemic (unlike "reddish-yellow"); (b) whose extension is not included in that of any other color term (unlike "scarlet", whose extension is included ...

spectral color
Physics; Color science

The color of a monochromatic or nearly monochromatic light, i.e. a color to be found in the spectrum. Other colors are extraspectral.

saturation
Physics; Color science

Attribute of a visual sensation which permits a judgment to be made of the proportion of pure chromatic color in the total sensation. (CIE 45-25-225. ) Pink and red differ in ...

CIE illuminant C
Physics; Color science

A standard illuminant that is an approximation to average daylight. Like all illuminants, illuminant C is specified by its spectral power distribution.

equiluminant
Physics; Color science

Equal in luminance. Two lights may be equally bright although chromatically different (which implies they have different spectral power distributions). One consequence of the ...
