Individual differences in color matching functions: theory and practice.

CIC32 Workshop W4 Tuesday October 29, 15:45 - 18:15. 2.5 hours

Hotel Omni Mont-Royal 1050 Sherbrooke Street, West Montreal, Quebec, H3A-2R6

Individual differences in the corneal spectral sensitivities of the short-, middle- and long-wavelength cones means that we all see colors differently. These differences can be large enough to result in obvious color mismatches in displays and consumer products. Quantifying these differences has obvious advantages in industrial applications. Some products may be optimised to reduce the color mismatches (metamerism failures) seen when they are viewed by many users, while other products (such as phones or personal displays) may be individually optimised to enhance the colors seen by single users.? We will present a series of short talks that will be followed by a panel discussion and demonstrations.
