Abstract

Both color constancy and chromatic induction were studied in a computer-driven color display that simulated an array of Munsell samples (25% reflectance) that was illuminated by either standard white light (D65) or various colored illuminants. The samples were separated by an achromatic grid (100% reflectance) that could be selectively illuminated. Three conditions were studied: (a) constancy, with samples and grid illuminated by the same source; (b) induction, with colored light confined to the grid and white light to the samples; (c) dark grid, with the source illuminating the samples only.
