In this paper I present a distortion metric for color video sequences. It is based on a contrast gain control model of the human visual system that incorporates spatial and temporal aspects of vision as well as color perception. The model achieves a close fit to contrast sensitivity and contrast masking data from several different psychophysical experiments for both luminance and color stimuli. The metric is used to assess the quality of MPEG-coded sequences.
