100 year old color theory updated

[Alan Edward Klein]

A more precise model of color perception could have wide value in fields that depend on accurate color, including photography, video, visualization, and related technologies. It could also improve the way scientists create and interpret visual data.

How do you think it will affect phosphate photography?

Scientists finally complete Schrödinger’s 100-year-old color theory.​

Scientists finally complete Schrödinger’s 100-year-old color theory

Researchers have finally resolved a key problem in a 100-year-old theory of color, showing that the qualities we perceive in colors are intrinsic to the mathematics of color space itself. The discovery sharpens our understanding of human vision and could lead to more precise color technologies...

So the cat is neither black or white.

So the cat is neither black or white.

Nor dead, apparently. The examination of the relationship between hue and intensity could be interesting...

So the cat is neither black or white.

Neither dead nor alive.

I wonder how this will affect all the differences between the different color gamuts like Adobe RGB, Prophoto RGB, RGB, etc.

How will this affect photographers' interpretation of "correct" colors when looking at a photo or editing RAW or scanned film photos?

I'll be that non-Riemannian profiles are on the drawing boards as we speak (write)!

Not.

It looks like this is claiming to have implications for fields like psychology and neuroscience but doesn’t really relate in any way to the purview of this forum.

Still an interesting read. Thanks for posting

Fascinating paper; but will it make a whit of difference in the practical world? I can't see it replacing extant 3 and 4-axis CIE mapping for analytic geometry derived programmable colorant applications, nor for any kind of conventional color matching, which doesn't need the math at all, just an understanding of key variables. Van Gogh didn't even own a slide rule. And where is their equation for eye fatigue?

I thought it implied photography because that's what the article says. I'm not a color expert, so I'll defer to others on that.

From the article: "...A more precise model of color perception could have wide value in fields that depend on accurate color, including photography, video, visualization, and related technologies. It could also improve the way scientists create and interpret visual data..."

Cat photos perhaps.

Sorry, old joke getting older.
