ABSTRACT Chromatic adaptation to displays involves a complex interplay of factors, including surrounding light, background properties, and the luminance of stimuli. This study was aimed at understanding the impact of these factors on visual perception through a series of psychophysical experiments. Our findings show a significant interaction between background and surround conditions in adaptation responses. Two frameworks are proposed to capture the mixed adaptation mechanism. These models show promising results in predicting visual perception responses under various ambient environment conditions. This research offers insight into understanding chromatic adaptation in such complex conditions.
