Proximity judgments in color space: Tests of a Euclidean color geometry
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe two tests of the hypothesis that human judgments of the proximity of colors are consistent with a Euclidean geometry on color matching space. The first test uses proximity judgments to measure the angle between any two intersecting lines in color space. Pairwise estimates of the angles between three lines in a plane were made in order to test the additivity of angles. Three different color proximity tasks were considered. Additivity failed for each of the three proximity tasks. Secondly, we tested a prediction concerning the growth of the variability of judgments of similarity with the distance between the test and reference stimuli. The Euclidean hypothesis was also rejected by this test. The results concerning the growth of variability are consistent with the assumption that observers use a city-block metric when judging the proximity of colored lights.

متن کاملAnalysis of Three Euclidean Color-Difference Formulas for Predicting the Average RIT-DuPont Color-Difference Ellipsoids
The RIT-DuPont data set is used to investigate the Euclidean color-difference formulas DIN99d, DIN99o and IPT. The coordinates of the metrics as well as the metrics themselves are transformed to the CIELAB color space, the latter by means of the Jacobians of the coordinate transformations. The RIT-DuPont ellipsoids in the CIELAB space are compared to the Euclidean metrics using two different me...

متن کاملOn Curvature of Color Spaces and its Implications
In this paper we discuss the role of curvature in the context of color spaces. Curvature is a differential geometric property of color spaces that has attracted less attention than other properties like the metric or geodesics. In this paper we argue that the curvature of a color space is important since curvature properties are essential in the construction of color coordinate systems. Only co...
