In this webinar hosted by the Color Technical Group, Mark Fairchild will review research on color appearance phenomena and a proposal for a new way to look at color appearance models as five separate dimensions of appearance (brightness, lightness, hue, saturation, and colorfulness) rather than attempting to fit color into a seemingly arbitrary three-dimensional Euclidean (or even non-Euclidean) space.

Fundamental to the creation of such appearance scales is a sound fundamental understanding of the phenomenon of color inconstancy as well as the mechanisms of chromatic adaptation that set the stage for predictions of appearance. The presentation will start with a straightforward explanation of color inconstancy, review data and models of sensory and cognitive chromatic adaptation, and finally suggest methods and formulae for appearance scales.

What You Will Learn:
• Latest research on color appearance phenomena
• Dimensions of color appearance appearance
• Methods and formulae for appearance scales

Who Should Attend:
• Students in the field of color and imaging science
• Professionals interested in knowing the latest advances in color appearance
• Researchers in the field of color appearance
