Abstract: | Recent break‐throughs in retinal imaging have raised new questions for color vision research, and the existing color vision models should be re‐evaluated. Many color vision models are based on an assumption that there are no differences in the detection phase, neither in the spatial configuration nor in the spectral sensitivities of cells. In this article, we have run experiments with four different color vision models. This evaluation gives us more knowledge about the essential properties of the models. We show how the tested color vision models are able to replicate the behaviour of human color vision by evaluating their performance in Farnsworth‐Munsell 100‐Hue color vision test. Also, the wavelength discrimination power of each model is presented and the properties of color spaces spanned by models are examined using samples from Munsell Book of Color. Our experiments show that there are large differences in the properties of different models. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Col Res Appl, 34, 341–350, 2009 |
