Abstract
When presented against a highly lit black background, dimly illuminated white paper strips appear white even when they are equiluminant with the background. Such an example of simultaneous lightness constancy cannot be accounted for by receptor gain control because of the equiluminance. Moreover, this demonstration shows that lightness cannot be reduced to 'relative brightness' as is widely believed.
