Term
Hue
Definition
the quality associated with color name
Term
Lightness
Definition
perception of brightness
Term
Saturation
Definition
extent a color departs from neutral
Term
additive primaries
Definition
Red, Green, Blue
Term
Rods
Definition
120 million
detects black and white in low light
Term
Cones
Definition
7 million
Detects color with ample light
Term
Scotopic vision
Definition
monochromatic - rods only
Term
Mesopic vision
Definition
transitional light that uses both
Term
Photopic vision
Definition
bright light that uses only cones
Term
Normal Trichromat
Definition
normal color vision
Term
Anomalous Trichromat
Definition
have all three cones but not normal color vision

Term
Filter Factor
Definition
factor of 2 at 1/60th becomes 2/60th or 1/30th

factor of 16 on f#
(log16)/0.3 = 4 stops
Term
Spatial Partitive Mixing
Definition
placing small dots of color near each other so the eye cannot "resolve" them
Term
Hue Circle
Definition
subtle transitions between adjacent hues
100 hues are max we can see in side by side comparison
Term
Value
Definition
the degree of darkness in a color
Term
Chroma
Definition
departure from neutral color of same value
Term
CIELAB
Definition
opponent system!
Term
Negative b*
Definition
Blue - "B" bottom - Blue (BlueGreen)
Negative a* Green
Term
Gamut
Definition
Most saturated colors your system can reproduce
Term
Chroma Ratio
Definition
C*ab of Reproduced/C*ab of Original
Term
ΔEab
Definition
color difference measurement
geometric distance between 2 colors
sqrt((ΔL*)^2 + (Δa*)^2 + (Δb*)^2)
Term
Tristimulus Values
Definition
represented by XYZ
the amount of 3 primary colors to match a sample
Term
What is needed to define a tristimulus value?
Definition
Light source
object
observer
Term
Metamerism
Definition
When two colors look the same under one light source but different under another
Term
Perceptual Rendering Intent
Definition
Used for Pictorial images
preserves luminance over hue
Gamut of image is compressed or expanded to fill gamut of destination device
Term
Saturation Rendering Intent
Definition
graphics and company logos
Saturation of pixels is preserved at expense of hue and lightness accuracy
Gamut Compression
Term
Absolute Rendering Intent
Definition
Used when strict color conversion is required
White point is mapped to destination
Colors map accordingly
gamut clipping
Term
relative rendering intent
Definition
White point of the actual media is referenced to white point of reference luminant
good for photographs
colors map accordingly
allows for chromatic adaptation
