Dependence of the chromatic valence function on chromatic standards

Abstract

The red, green, yellow, and blue curve portions of chromatic valence functions (CVFs) were measured by an iso-cancellation technique using three or four different chromatic standards (cancellation stimuli of fixed intensity and chromaticity) for each of the four curve portions. Curve shapes of the red, green, and yellow CVF portions varied with different chromatic standards, while that of blue did not. These results of chromatic standard dependency in CVFs are discussed with respect to opponent equilibria in a color mixture space.
