Key Points

  • This research aims to develop a quantitative model for understanding color perception based on opponent-colors theory.
  • Utilized CIE color mixture data for the standard observer.
  • Examined spectral brightness, saturation, and hue for both normal and dichromatic vision.
  • Focused on Bezold-Brücke hue shift and discrimination changes with luminance.
  • The model effectively accounts for spectral brightness and associated psychophysical functions.
  • Findings indicate variations in hue and saturation with different luminance levels.
  • The study clarifies the Bezold-Brücke hue shift mechanism.

Abstract

A quantitative model for an opponent-colors theory of vision is presented that is based on the CIE color mixture data for the standard observer. The model is used to account for spectral brightness, saturation, and hue and some of their associated psychophysical functions in both normal and dichromatic vision. Special attention is given to an account of the Bezold-Brücke hue shift, and to changes in saturation and wavelength discrimination with changes in stimulus luminance.
