None of it is easy reading. Color Appearance Models are even more in the realm of the subjective phenomenological experience of color than CIE XYZ / CIE Lab - and less useful in an attempt at absolutely defining/describing a color outside the context/scene where it is experiences/observed. With a color appearance model the squares A and B in the Checker Shadow Illusion ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Checker_shadow_illusion ) would have different colors - since they *appear* to have different colors. Through color constancy this affects not only the apparent luminanace but also the apparent hue of colors in a scene. /pippin _______________________________________________ gimp-developer-list mailing list List address: gimp-developer-list@xxxxxxxxx List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-developer-list
