In the spirit of the HSV color space, we introduce a simple transform of the RGB color cube into a light/dark dimension and a 2D hue. The hue is a normalized (barycentric) triangle with pure red, green, and blue at the vertices, often called the Maxwell Color Triangle. Each cross section of the space is the same barycentric triangle, and the light/dark dimension runs zero to one for each hue so...

We propose a numerical method to determine a transformation of a color space into a hue linear color space with a maximum degree of perceptual uniformity. In a first step, a transformation of the initial color space into a nearly perceptually uniform space is computed using multigrid optimization. In a second step, a hue correction is applied to the resulting color space while preserving the pe...

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...

A novel extension to a previous method has been proposed to evaluate the nature of dry powder mixing processes using a mixing sensitive colouring agent. The method proposed measures the change in the colour (hue) and colour intensity of the powder blends over mixing time. To evaluate the extent of fine particle dispersion and de-agglomeration, cohesive and free flowing lactose (white) and cohes...

Using an asymmetric color matching technique, we measured the perceived changes that occur in the saturation and hue of colored stimuli at different eccentricities within the central 25 degrees of the human retina in nine color-normal subjects. A cone-opponent-based vector model was used to compute the activity of the L-M and S-(L+M) channels. The results show that a large proportion of the shi...
