Adaption and Spatial Frequency Effects on Color Reproduction

The use of color on printed paper is increasing due to the influence of the desktop computer. This new growth in color has brought along the need to get beyond good enough color. The need for improved tools for color description, transmission and reproduction can be seen in the number of conferences on Desktop Publishing, Device Independence, WYSIWYG Color, Color Portability, and Page Description Languages.

The purpose of this paper is to show the limitation of CIE Uniform Color spaces in predicting gray scale and color differences when a color is placed in a complex field and/or when the complex field has a high spatial frequency content. The appearance modeling of GuthS is used as the basis of his paper. At best these models blaze a trail for future work. The current color vision model does predict all the known visual adaption and color difference data.
