Light and the Eye
The eye has incredible dynamic range

Colorimetry
Colorimetry is the science that describes colors in terms of numbers.
Metamerism – different power spectra, same color coordinates

Colorimetry
Roughly speaking the retina of the human eye has photoreceptors for red green and Roughly speaking, the retina of the human eye has photoreceptors for red, green, and blue.
Spectral distribution coefficients have been defined which allow us to compute color coordinates.coo d a es

Correlated Color Temperature (CCT)• Temperature of a blackbody radiator p y
closest in appearance.• Attempt to use a single number to
characterize a full spectrum.Pl ki l l f bl kb d• Plankian locus: colors of blackbody radiators
• Judd lines: perpendicular to Plankian locus in uv color spacein uv color space
• CCT: for colors on a Judd line, CCT is the temperature of the blackbody radiator at the intersection with the Plankian curve
