Contents:
Origins of modern color science / J.D. Mollon -- Light, the retinal image, and photoreceptors / Orin Packer, David R. Williams -- Color matching and color discrimination / Vivianne C. Smith, Joel Pokorny -- Color appearance / Steven K. Shevell -- Color appearance and color difference specification / David H. Brainard -- Physiology of color vision / Peter Lennie -- Physics and chemistry of color: the 15 mechanisms / Kurt Nassau -- Digital color reproduction / Brian A. Wandell, Louis D. Silverstein.
Summary: Focusing on the principles and observations that are foundations of modern color science and written for a general scientific audience, this book broadly covers essential topics in the interdisciplinary field of colour, drawing from physics, physiology and psychology. The book begins by tracing scientific thinking about colour since the 17th century. This historical perspective provides an introduction to the fundamental questions in color science, by following advances as well as misconceptions over more than 300 years.
