Sensation and perception

 Hue- Quality of red, not quantitative, gives qualitative experience

 Saturation – amount of whiteness, gets desaturated
 Brightness and lightness- is the intensity
Moving diagonally in the cone differs the saturation
Moving vertically on the two cones shows the difference in hue

 Additive and subtractive color mixing

ADDITIVE- when you add lights
SUBTRACTIVE- when you add paints

 The retina and color

Rods and Cones
S cone- Extreme left
M cone- middle
L cone- extreme right
Univariance- Minimum Two cones need to be active to depict color or it results into color
blindness

1. Trichromatic theory of color perception

 Herning’s model of opponent processes
Processing of colors takes place in pairs
 4 primary colors from a psychological viewpoint
All 4 work in opposing factors
 Color combinations- some color combinations that are set no such thing as (reddish
blue)
We saw colors in 4 groups of primary colors
 After images- looking at a red dot for a long time then switching to a blank page you see
a saturated red dot for a very long time and you see a green dot
It is similar for blue and yellow and green and red
 Simultaneous color contrast
Color deficiency – tested by Ishihara plates
Rod monochromacy-
Dichromacy
Corctical Achromatopsia
Cone monochromacy
