Abstract

Abstract— The Helmholtz‐Kohlrausch (H‐K) effect is the influence of color purity on the perceived brightness of a color object (or source). In addition to a review of the effect, a survey of color and brightness‐perception studies from 1825 to the present (including our own studies on disabling glare) is presented. Disabling glare is the blinding experience which results from a bright source in our field of view. There has been a great deal of work on the H‐K effect, and this paper is our personal view of the subject. The H‐K effect has lead to new color‐appearance models which help to describe the brightness/luminance discrepancies, and we will only touch on this subject. It will be shown how the H‐K effect affects many of the displays, mobile devices, and phones. Additionally, how the H‐K effect is involved with our perception at mesopic light levels encountered during night driving will be discussed.
