Abstract:
Colour is a vast and complex subject that impacts many sectors in so many different ways. Yet, the majority of research into colour is usually undertaken in single subject areas, in for example, art, psychology, colour science, physics, chemistry, design, architecture and engineering. This book offers a selection of research from participants in a recent European funded project (Marie Curie SCF), and aims to address increasingly complex questions through an interdisciplinary perspective. The objective of the project was to address a broad range of themes in colour and to develop with artists, designers, technologists and scientists a cross disciplinary approach to improving colour communication, education and to provide a forum for dialogue between different fields.

Reflectance, illumination, and appearance

Abstract:
We studied color constancy of two 3-D Color Mondrian displays made of two identical painted wooden shapes. We used on 6-chromatic, and 5-achromatic paints applied to 100+ block facets. The three-dimensional targets adds shadows and multiple reflections not found in flat Mondrians. Observers viewed one set in nearly uniform illumination [Low-Dynamic- Range(LDR)]; the other in directional non-uniform illumination [High-Dynamic-Range(HDR)].

New Directions in Colour: From Science to Art

Abstract:

How can we or do we identify, name, categorise, mix or print colour? Colour is not static; colour perception is affected by the environment, neighbouring colour, and the surface quality or texture of the coloured object. Therefore, because colour is ever changing, then our ability to create a standard, to define or categorise colour is likewise problematic. Though developments in science and technology in the last century have considerably contributed to an improvement in colour standards, we still have not attained accurate definitions in colour science and colour reproduction. A balance is required between the new contribution to knowledge, developments in technology and limits of knowledge: advancements in developing technology and knowledge need to keep apace.
