Lightness and hue perception: The Bezold-Brücke effect and colour basic categories
نویسندگان
چکیده
Using surface colours as stimuli, the present research was aimed at the two following goals: (1) To determine the chromatic angles related to categorical effects type B-B (Bezold-Brücke). (2) To determine the colourimetric characteristics compatible with each Spanish colour basic category. To get these goals the full set of tiles included in the NCS (Natural Colour System) was used in a monolexemic naming task. Results showed that the use of chromatic categories was not only influenced by chromatic angle (Hu’v’) but also by saturation (Su’v’) and lightness (L*). This last parameter had a decisive influence on the responses to half of the chromatic circle (from G50Y to R50B, in terms of NCS nomenclature). Specifically, frequent B-B type categorical effects appeared: stimuli with the same chromatic angle, but different lightness being named differently.

Lightness compression and hue changes.
Two experiments were performed to relate the Bezold-Brücke (B-B) and lightness compression effects. The first used a calibrated screen to present an achromatic luminance staircase. In addition, it reproduced, the methodology and the essential aspects the lightness compression effect discovered by Cataliotti and Gilchrist (1995). That is, observers perceived a truncated grey scale (from white to...
متن کاملThe color of night: surface color categorization by color defective observers under dim illuminations.
People with normal trichromatic color vision experience variegated hue percepts under dim illuminations where only rod photoreceptors mediate vision. Here, hue perceptions were determined for persons with congenital color vision deficiencies over a wide range of light levels, including very low light levels where rods alone mediate vision. Deuteranomalous trichromats, deuteranopes and protanope...
متن کاملCategorical sensitivity to color differences.
Categorical perception provides a potential link between color perception and the linguistic categories that correspond to the basic color terms. We examined whether the sensory information of the second-stage chromatic mechanisms is further processed so that sensitivity for color differences yields categorical perception. In this case, sensitivity for color differences should be higher across ...
متن کاملEffect of Lightness on Blackness Preference of Black Fabrics
In this paper, the effect of lightness on blackness preference of 216 black fabrics prepared by printing method is investigated. 18 observers including of 9 males and 9 females are asked to firstly rank order black fabrics with the same lightness values according to their preference. In the next step, observers are asked to define their blackness preference for blacks with different L values. R...
متن کاملEffect of Chromatic Components on Facial Skin Whiteness
Although the color measurement of facial skin becomes more common in dermatology and cosmetics, little is known about the relationship between subjective color perception and colorimetric values in facial skin. In this study, the possible relationships among perceived whiteness and the metric lightness, chroma and hue angle of Japanese females’ facial skin color were investigated. First, the pe...
