Beschreibung
It has been postulated that humans can differentiate betweenmillions of gradations in color. Not surprisingly, no completelyadequate, detailed catalog of colors has yet been devised, howeverthe quest to understand, record, and depict color is as old as thequest to understand the fundamentals of the physical world and thenature of human consciousness. Rolf Kuehni's Color Space andIts Divisions: Color Order from Antiquity to the Present representsan ambitious and unprecedented history of man's inquiry intocolor order, focusing on the practical applications of the mostcontemporary developments in the field.
Kuehni devotes much of his study to geometric, three-dimensionalarrangements of color experiences, a type of system developed onlyin the mid-nineteenth century. Color spaces are of particularinterest for color quality-control purposes in the manufacturingand graphics industries. The author analyzes three major colororder systems in detail: Munsell, OSA-UCS, and NCS. He presentshistorical and current information on color space developments incolor vision, psychology, psychophysics, and color technology.Chapter topics include:
* A historical account of color order systems
* Fundamentals of psychophysics and the relationship betweenstimuli and experience
* Results of perceptual scaling of colors according toattributes
* History of the development of mathematical color space anddifference formulas
* Analysis of the agreements and discrepancies in psychophysicaldata describing color differences
* An experimental plan for the reliable, replicated perceptualdata necessary to make progress in the field
Experts in academia and industry, neuroscientists, designers,art historians, and anyone interested in the nature of color willfind Color Space and Its Divisions to be the authoritativereference in its field.
