Abstract

AbstractEarlier research has shown that the relative chroma (saturation) of color pairs affects the relative areas of those colors that appear balanced in a predictable way. Small areas of high chroma balance large areas of low chroma. The present study shows that this chroma effect is independent of the background the colors were viewed against, and relatively independent of the hues involved. In particular, the chroma effect is as strong for hue pairs adjacent or intermediate on the color circle as for complementary hues. Finally, this study compared Munsell's theory of spatial balance to that of Moon and Spencer, finding better agreement with the former.
